The neck was bought pre-fretted with a padel headstock. I’ve cut it to into a Telecaster headstock shape, except I was copying from a printout and didn’t get the top curve quite right (and it’s a touch wider than it should be) – so it’s “unique”.
The neck has been oiled and drying for the last few weeks. I’ve drilled the holes for the tuners and string tree. Waiting on some super fine sandpaper to remove the tackyness from the back of the neck, fretboard and to polish up the frets. Going to be time consuming but it’s getting closer to stringing up for the first time.
