Cheers AJ. The finish on this one seems quite plain, compared to your LP.Quote:

just awesome there Ray, well done. (now I gotta another one to add to my "to-List"..)
If you are planning on doing a Deluxe then you might like to ask Adam about supplying a neck with a larger headstock blank. The only thing I wish this Tele had is a proper CBS sized headstock.

Ray's Tele TD has a wonderful older era look with that understated (Wudtone?) stain which enhances the grain very nicely. The aged neck/board compliments it ideally too IMO.

Cheers Max,
I didn't think the aging detail came out in the pic (well spotted). There is age-wear on a few of the edges, but the new hardware and pristine scratchplate let it down - but they will age reasonably quickly.
The stain is actually a Cabots oil base, tinted their "Black" recipe (using Dulux tint). The neck uses a self-leveling Cedar/Cypress by Intergrain.
However I'm looking forward to trying some Wudtone, it looks like a great product.

Wow. That is one super cool SG. Can't believe you parted with it for under $500. <snip>
I agree with Stui; great work, really individual and (he's right)that collector got a bargain!
Wow that is my kind of guitar!
Flying 'V'
Carmine Gypsy with Gloss and Vintage Amber Neck
Removed plastic Nut and inserted BRASS!
Changed perfectly good Pickups supplied with 4 conductor wire version as the guitar features two PushPull Pots at the neck and bridge volume to acomodater the two coil splits.
Pickguard was pretty ordinary so I remodelled it as seen!
Headstock complete with logo and truss rod cover purposefully left off!

Gav, that is practically porn.
IB-1 in Hot Auburn with Gloss, Neck in Vintage Amber
Features Coil split on both Humbuckers and the Single Coil was hand wound by me.
Upgraded the black Floyd Rosd to a genuine immitation gold Floyd Rose! Wanted the bling on this guitar!
Added two mini switches so that I could manually control the coil splits of both humbuckers as well as to be able to control both humbuckers with the second switch.

Very Noice!
The V is sensational and the IB is just plain tasty!
Glad to see you putting your logo on 8-)
Gav, these two are just sensational.
LP-1
Black Magic Woman burst with some StewMac Black for the borders. Clear Neck.
Started off as a minor catastophe! Redid the binding and started the sanding and painting from scratch. All those tricks about removing glue originated fromthis guitar. The neck was a shocker and Adam kindly arranged a new neck for me. The end result is this black beauty! Coil splits on both neck and bridge activated by PushPull pots. I eventually bought 4 conductor wire pickups after mutilating the pickups I had intended putting into this guitar!
