Telecaster Build - Part 1 - Neck Layout and Routing

This Telecaster build video series is intended for my lutherie students at a Denver area college where I teach electric guitar construction. I decided to make these videos public…hoping that other people all around the world can benefit from them. My students are first time builders and are required to build a variation of a Telecaster or a Stratocaster. I believe that learning Fender construction techniques is foundational to a well-rounded guitar building education. I am building a Tele in this video series…and I will be building a Strat live at the school. With this foundation, I hope most of the students will continue their education by taking the advanced electric guitar construction course next semester.

Feel free to post a comment should there be any questions…and try to reply to questions as soon as time will allow. Let me know if this serious helps anyone…and any topics that you hope that I will cover in future episodes of this build series.

If you enjoy the intro music on this video, go to https://ericjasonbrock.bandcamp.com to check out more of his songs. Eric is a very talented musician out of Cincinnati Ohio, and I know he would greatly appreciate your support by purchasing some of his music.

The very nice motion design incorporated into the Intro, Outro, and the subtitles as created by Summer Simpson, a professional video editor in the Denver area. Go check out her lengthy resume at www.summerbsimpson.com, and shoot her an email if you need some help with video production.
