Ready to glue. Pockets stil have a tickness of 0.175 inchs, 0.200" on the top.
The body is now cover with shellac that not only act as a grain filler but create a barrier for the nitro finish, the rosewood is very oily.
Pickguard is custom build with a real bakelite sheet and I add a layer of white carbord to create a white line, nice result !

This guitar weight only 2.872 Kg or 6.33 pounds,
light for a Rosewood Tele.
The Rosewood fingerboard have a compound radius of 12 inchs at the nut
and about 16 inchs at the saddles, real clay dots just like original Fender
vintage.
Dual Fender Showmaster Knobs with nice heavy
knurl,
genuine Fender bridge, control plate, switch, pots, neck plate and tuners.
Compensated brass saddles for better intonnation.
ProShop Seymour Duncan Alnico II neck pickup and
Vintage for Broadcaster Seymour Duncan bridge pickup.
Correct "70" Fender "F" tuners.
Rosewood is so stiff (and stable) that there is no load on the truss rod
(just a hair to avoid vibration of the rod in the neck)
Bookmatch back (and front).
Gloss thin nitro finish from my personnal Custom paint Shop (outside ...:-)
