This looks like it's coming out nicely! Congrats on a well-planned build! Somewhere out there there's a Tele bridge cutout for a Filter, TV Jones? I'll look around and see if I can track it down for you.

Yep, TV Jones does one called the Savalas bridge that takes any Filter-sized pickup.

Im probably the only one working like a dog on christmas, but my fam is Jewish and my gf is with her fam on vacation, so I was in the shop all day! And I just bought the bigsby B5 and ebony binding for this guitar from Stewmac, should be here Wednesday.
So progress for today: I radiused the fretboard (12') and fretted the neck, the inlays look sweeet!! THen I drilled the tuner holes and slimmed the headstock down to size on the bandsaw and cleaned that up on the spindle sander. Then I did the round over on the edges of the back. the top will get the ebony binding. Last thing was drill the neck attachment holes and attach the neck. It feels nice and light! Heres some pics!

Wow Johnsonrod this is turning out beautiful! Thanks for the play by play photos. I have built a couple from parts but haven't attempted a scratch build yet. After seeing some of these projects on this forum I am going to have to give it a go. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks guys! should have more progress in the next few days. I got the ebony binding for the top and the B5 Bigsby today and thanks to TeeDub I will have the filtertons soon too. If anyone knows anything about binding this sort of guitar with natural wood please chime in! I need to bend it and everything, so advise on that and some glue suggestions would be nice! thanks guys !
