    Project Update:

    Well, I am missing some small parts. And it turns out that the switch was supposed to have been pre-installed. So, I sent them an email & now I just have to wait. They’re pretty fast with a reply, so I imagine I’ll hear back tomorrow. I just dove in on the finish & decided to wait to inventory the parts until I was ready for the next steps. I was hoping to play it this weekend, but it’ll probably be next weekend. Oh well.
    ah man sorry to hear. hopefully they take care of you and you can get her all put together next week. looking forward to hearing how you like it.
    Yeah, I was bummed, but it happens. They’re shipping out the parts I need today or tomorrow.

    New parts are scheduled to arrive tomorrow! Just watched a video on soldering & called my sister. So glad that she has a lot of experience soldering! Ha!

    I'm hoping to head to her house this weekend and wrap this project up! I've already been thinking of the next one that I'll start in a year or two.

    now that i think about it, looking back, i should have taken a shop class in high school and learned to solder.

    good luck!!!

    Thanks, man! My sister and I can't link up our schedules this week & we're going on vacation next week, so this will have to wait another couple of weeks until it's done. It's really coming along, though & there is nothing left to do at this point. We'll wrap it up when we get back from vacation. I've watched several videos on soldering, but I've never done it before, so I'd rather finish the project with her to make sure that I don't fuck it up. Here are a few pictures & they may be out of order: Input jack, Bridge, Pickups (front), Pickups (back) & the Tele just chilling while waiting for the next step

    Flipping through the Fretboard Journal’s profile of Ed’s guitar arsenal.  He has so many Tele’s and Esquires.

    Matt just celebrated his 62nd birthday.  I m thinking he is too busy spending his first social security check rather than
    building the tele.
