Im totally fine with it on fenders
I've never actually owned a gibson style LP/SG (have played them obviously)- I actually originally was toying with sticking a gibson scale length neck on a strat or a tele and trying to fit a tunomatic or a modified mustang bridge.
In some cases the cost of a bolt on neck was almost as much as the kit cost.

to finish this story - finished article.
pickups are a GFS mean 90 in the bridge, and a dream 90 in the neck. Two flavours of the p90-like humbucker sized jobs. Master vol and tone (50s wired) with series and parallel switching. the combination of both is interesting.
will have to go back and refit/file the nut at some point - action on the low e is a little high at 1st 2nd fret - but totally play able set up wise overall - action and intonation grand otherwise.
serious aul 'keranng' out of it - maple bolt on neck makes it very lively. every time I pick it up I end up playing power chords
turns out wood is actually just a higher grade, slightly harder darker coloured version of basswood - but grand really at the price point. sounds nice acoustically, a little on the soft side for an un-lacquered guitar.

Would have been tempted had the body not had binding

I like a bit of binding on a tele - think they look a bit plain without it..
Building another one… sure what else would I be doing. Probably be on here trying to flog it in 6 months…
Nice. I spent a long time looking at a white troublemaker tele on adverts a couple of months ago. It was eventually withdrawn, and as previously reported, i got a bit pissed and ordered a Squire Thinline.
Needed a bit of setting up, but I'm really happy. Looking forward to trying it loud with the lads soon.

Loverly
Maple top? Or ash?
Soft maple. Sounds good for acoustic playing.
Not sure on tuning stability yet, and the f hole could do with a little tidy up.
Is that from a kit?
Nah - parts. Waiting for most of them to be delivered in fact…

haha the fucker already has this
I got a good few Thomann vouchers for the burday back in May. I'm adding to my account bit by bit and I'm 99% going to get a Mexican Tele. I'd pretty much decided on a black on black with a maple neck but I went into Waltons to check them out IRL and saw a white on white one with a maple neck. Blooming gorg.
Finishing done - very happy with the front and neck/headstock - some problems with the back has led to a very small piece of inadvertent relicing which I may have to revisit. Now just have to drill a pile of holes without making a balls of it.

Finished article - neck p90, high output Alnico 2 bridge, 5 way switch with bill lawrence mod)
sounds sweet and plays really well, might refinish the neck cause I’m not mad about the feel,
