So I’ve sanded the stain and oil off the Wilko telecaster and spray-primed it for painting.
While I’m waiting for it to dry I’m going to start my next build (yup, hooked already).
I never thought I’d own something like this big, jazzy Gretsch-type instrument and I’m totally stoked by the fact, but straight away I’ll be begging the indulgence of you guys and your expertise:
Not sure what to do with the hole next to the heel joint—should one use some sort of wood filler?
Same with the nut which seems only to be supported by a couple of millimeters of material underneath it at either end—otherwise, it seems to be mostly hole underneath. Also, not sure how to deal with the gaps between body and neck, once the neck is attached.
Any advice greatly appreciated..
