Surfpine Wavecaster

Not sure on the name but I think that’s what the guy I bought the homemade body from years ago called it.

Pine body and Allparts 62RI neck, GFS Bridge/pickup assembly. The only money spent was on solder, though I did have to route the pickup cavity and neck pocket a little to make all my parts fit, and I’m pretty sure I’ll replace the GFS ‘50s pickup with an AVRI 60s one like my Tele project has at some point down the line for more low end and output. For now, though, the tone knob is very useful. The allparts neck did not let me down, it plays very nicely.
Everything just got spray painted with white Krylon, including the metallic blue pickguard.

That looks great. I really like the brass screws. I'd be tempted to diverge even more from typical Fenderishness and go for gold speedknobs.

I'd also want to wire it like an Esquire, but that's because I like switches and stuff.

Yeah I wouldn’t mind wiring an Esquire switch in, but didn’t have one, or the other caps (or a clean way to cut the pickguard). Maybe someday though!

I love the Mustang inspired shape and the Mosrite inspired pickguard

Very cool! I dig the unsealed grain look and being pine that should relic nicely!

Kinda miss my pine body Tele build, really fun light and resonant guitars.

Dig it a lot, especially that turbo utilitarian output jack, cool af

(I realise it's just a washer, but it looks sick)

[Dave]

Very nice indeed
