Hi,

Glad you liked it despite the crappy picture.(our camera needs a service I think)
OK Warmoth neck Birdseye maple finished US$308.00
Warmoth body swamp ash finished US$320.00
Callaham hardware kit US$283.00
Lindy Fralin Pickups std Tele US$160.00

TOTAL US$1071.00

Postage & freight to Australia (total) US$129.00

Grand total US$1200.00
convert to Aus$ ~1579.00 Aust retail is ~ Aus$2600.00 so it was cost effective and at the time I got a better exchange rate than what I used here. You know the US consumer is in his own heaven..

How long it took is hard because I spent quite a bit of time practising soldering & reading & understanding wirograms..this was all new to me..but actual hands on doing it time was surprisingly short. If you solder well it would be done in a couple of hours. Note I did not do any painting. That's what sucks up the time as one slip means waiting a couple more weeks for your touch ups to dry before continuing.

I hope to have some sound files up soon. My ordinary playing might not show it off too well :mad:

Do you know if soundclick or put file sites cost a lot?

Thanks for your interest.
