<font size="2" face="verdana, arial">The very first Telecaster Prototypes from 1950 prior to the birth of the Broadcaster (which was later renamed into Telecaster) were black multi-piece Pine bodies and Fender has reissued those in very limited quantities in the last few years.Originally posted by solemn13:
I wondered about a pine body how is that working out?
Pine is a very soft wood and it's less bright and twangy as ash...

hey I just got that book in and it answered all of my questions. I changed my design since I got it and I'm rethinking the whole thing. I would love to make a curly maple carved top but I would hate to ruin a nice piece of wood for my first try. . I dont know if you look at any custom builders online but these guys are sick
