Building My Dream Custom Telecaster Guitar on a Budget!

#addictedtogear #telecaster #guitarbuilding
Double-bound Candy Apple Red Custom Telecasters are simply amazing for several reasons. First and foremost, their aesthetic appeal is hard to beat. The Candy Apple Red finish is not only eye-catching but also timeless, giving the guitar a classic and elegant look that never goes out of style. The double-bound body adds an extra layer of sophistication, creating a visually stunning instrument.
But it's not just about looks; it's also about the sound and playability. Custom Telecasters allow you to tailor your guitar to your exact specifications, from the choice of wood for the body and neck to the type of pickups and electronics used. This level of customization means you can achieve the precise tone you desire, whether you're aiming for that classic Tele twang or a more versatile, modern sound.
Building one of these beauties together would be an exciting journey. It's an opportunity to learn, create, and customize every aspect of the guitar to make it uniquely yours. From selecting the perfect components to fine-tuning the setup, the process allows for a deep connection with your instrument, making it more than just a guitar but a reflection of your musical identity. So, let's embark on this journey together and craft a Double-bound Candy Apple Red Custom Telecaster that's truly the bomb!

[@Stephen_M.]

Looking good Tony!

[@pressleycaliforniacustoms9526]

Oh yeah!!! Looking awesome 😎

[@addictedtogear]

🤙

A little late to the conversation, but since your control plate is made of metal, you can consider it shielded already.

[@eddiejr540]

Tony…you do the best build vids on YT…awesome stuff…can’t wait to see the rest 👍

[@addictedtogear]

Wow, thanks!

[@user-rg5vt3gf5o]

Great video, thank you! You said you would reveal how you attached the cavities with the copper tape? Did I miss it?

[@barkeater9606]

I will be doing one like this, but in shoreline gold. 👍

He who dies with the most telecasters wins.

[@shanewalton8888]

I really gotta build a telecaster. I wanted to buy a new one but the wife said no.

[@addictedtogear]

Tell her she is starting to sound a lot like your x wife….

[@danteedee8204]

You should not need to shield the back of the control plate.

[@addictedtogear]

I know I only do that to make a better connection.

[@danteedee8204]

@addictedtogear I saw that part after and it makes sense. I like your method better than the wire Fender indents under the bridge.
