Building a Thinline Telecaster guitar from a kit | Part 2

Concluding this thinline telecaster guitar build i shaped the headstock, stained the guitar, added decals to the headstock of the guitar, finished it with poly and laquer as well as replacing the switch and pots, it was a lot of fun to do and took a little time but i'd highly recommend it. This plays better than my fender strats! The action is low and the out of box pickups sound great!! Go for it!
