I followed the instructions for using the polymerized tung oil on the neck that I found on Highliner Guitars's Youtube video. I did a very light...

That is probably what did it. A lot of polys--especially oil based are yellowing. UV can also yellow top coat. Nice that it turned a color you like...

I have never regretted upgrading to a Gotoh product ;-)

Will probably replace later on. My bad, pressed enter accidentally

I upgraded the bridge and tuners to Gotoh products (the bridge a Gotoh ge1996T) And pickups are an Alan Entwisle neo dymium darkstar in the neck,...

I can only assume it was when the polyurethane, I let it dry in the sun when I was at work and maybe that was a factor? But I don't really know where...

Thanks, fender3x! I'm going to put the 5th and final coat of grain filler on the body today, and the 5th of 7 coats of polymerized tung oil on the...

Looks very nice. Great that it plays really well. But how did it get to green?

You should be able to run a bridge ground wire through the bridge pup wire hole and along the bottom edge of the bridge pup cavity to base of the...

Beautiful work, love the swampy green look, what did you upgrade hardware to?

hey! you made it here at last.. I'll have to look into the mailing server here, I've had issues with the main site as well. Now you're here, I...

Right, that's my conclusion. I'm reasonably handy with the iron (been building pedals for the kid for a while now :-) I've ordered a Fender US...

That sounds like a cool color combo ;-) Trevor is the Tele master...so I may be missing something, but if you are using a standard Tele...

5 sounds about right. Mine usually look like they have finish on them when it's "enough." The occasional sand-through happens. Glad you were able...

You have crafted an awesome instrument! Love the color! Sent from my CPH2655 using Tapatalk

Hi Ben, It's all about what you like. If you are happy with the kit pickguard and control plate, then no need to change. I hadn't heard of...

Thanks so much for the comments, advice and complements :D Yes, I do plan to put the decal on top of the Aqua Coat. The decal is kind of sticky on...

Thanks fender, I Will give my opinion on the toneriders after I get them up and running.

No hole for ground wire Trevor, no holes, no holes at all, that’s today’s job, holes for wires and jack. I wiped the burl with a damp cloth and liked...
