    Tl-1q

    So here's my first PBG build.
    Completed with Tonerider Hot Classic neck p/up, Kent Armstrong Dual Rail bridge p/up in an aftermarket modern bridge, Dingo bone nut, Grover Mini Locker tuners, Dingo Clear neck finish and Tru-Oil on the body and head stock (just love that stuff!). Body was done with a light black wash, a blue burst then finally scraped the bindings. About 14 coats of Tru-Oil with plenty on light sanding to level between coats (6 coats on the back, sides and head stock) then finish with fine liquid car polish and a coat of wax. Plenty of work but a satisfying outcome. Love the Tonerider pickups too. Plenty of grunt with enough spank thrown in for a hot Tele sound at a good price to boot! Enjoy.

    Love the colour and figuring on this one, ILR. I don't normally go for greens or blues over natural grain - but I get a really pleasant bluejeans vibe from it. Are the pickguards your own design? They're minimal, but add a good colour contrast. Nice job.

    Thanks G-Axe. Yes, my own design. I wanted to show off the veneer as mush as possible, so I went looking at retro and art deco designs for inspiration. I tried to keep in style with the body shape.

    Thanks Andy.

    Thanks IRL

    Yours is very beautiful and especially atypical
    The cut pickgard is a very good idea and emphasize the body.

    Congratulation !
