Telecaster build

Just completed this telecaster build with the help of my 8 year old son. He is the musical one, unfortunately I am not. Learned a ton along the way and a few things I would do differently next time but overall happy with the outcome. The boy plays drums (about 3 years) and guitar (less than a year) and also claims to be a singer and is really enjoying all of this. We had to make an instagram to share his work, check him out and follow if you get a chance. He does get to read and respond to the comments (on my phone) so please be kind!

Love it. I have a friend that builds them and I know how much that goes into building one. Great job.

Sorry, forgot to put some specs…
Yellow poplar 1 piece body
Finished with somewhere between 15 and 20 coats of Tru Oil
Warmth roasted maple neck
920D loaded pick guard with their Texas Grit pickups and prewired hardware.
D'addario locking tuners
Gotoh bridge
The boy can make it sound right, but I have a buddy that is going to do a setup on it next weekend. Jury is still out on the 920D hardware, but probably wouldn’t use again.
