7 String Telecaster.

[pondman]

you got any pics of when you painted the body?

No , If I make a mistake like that I always get on with re-doing it right away so I dont sit about getting pissed off
I died it this time .

Time for a colour change.

Very nice shade of blue. How's it look with mineral spirits on?

Thanks for the comments.
Just a little deeper . Just realised I posted a picture of the wrong neck (thats the Voyager Neck ).

Hey uh... so I'm kind of obsessed with tele builds right now.. and this was shaping up... and I get to the bottom and... no new posts! What happened?

I always have a few builds going on and my full time work got crazy so didn't have much time to finish this.
I screwed the first clearcoat up so sanded it back again but the winter weather has set in over here now so not much chance of it being done soon.

I've got a 7 string Strat on the go so I'll post some pics of that for now.

Man I love teles.... adding another string to the equation tickles my pickle

 

[Darkened]

Waiting for new pics too, the body looks great!

 

[xFallen]

I can't wait to see this when it's done :O

That is awesome! I have a hard-on for heavy metal teles. Good stuff!

Scale length?
Unless stated otherwise, I'm assuming 25.5".

beautiful i wish i had the patience

Uh ! so I dug this out today, one of my first unfinished complete builds. On closer inspection the paint/clear finish I did was a pile of dog shit. I messed about with it for a few hours then just got totally f#cked off and sanded all the veneer off and went for my camera to do a vid of it going up in flames.
My GF saw what I was up to and stopped me

To be continued

Found some BE Maple to re-veneer.


Then a blue burst. I used Dylon clothes dye for this. 50% hot water / 50% methylated spirit and as much dye as required.

 

[pondman]

Been a long time since I started this but its just about done .

 

[edfletch]

That looks amazing man. Great job. Id love to have one of those.

That's a gorgeous color, and pretty swank you added the Floyd.

Glad this got dug back up and finally finished. Beautiful work, as always!
