My First Build - TLA-1

Attachment 31270

Progress as measured by colour of footwear

Judging by the dusting of green over white I reckon the second coat must have been done.

Snap, the one side of my garage has a surf green dusting. [emoji23][emoji23]

I'd explain to any visitors that I had an Italian landlord.

I try not to get bogged down with particulates landing on the finish.
Just layer about 4-5 coats of clear and leave it to dry.
Once the fine sandpaper is done there's little evidence at all.

cheers, Mark.

Workcover Samoa certified?

Well - I am all done on my Tele kit build

Attached are some photos of the finished product and a short video of how it sounds.

Thanks for the support from everyone along the way.

That looks and sound so awesome, looks and sounds just like mine too.
Well done [emoji450][emoji450][emoji481][emoji481]

Thanks a lot - I finally got a block of time to finish it up

I am so happy with the colour

I have learned a lot though (plenty of mistakes made) and am planning the next one

Are you building another one do you think?

Great work - love the colour

I only mentioned this the other day to my mate. I enjoyed building mine although I had lots of frustrating moments. But I’m having so much fun learning to play the thing that if I did another build it would take away from my playing time.

So I won’t be doing another build soon, I will wait a while.

When I do do another it would be another Tele but a natural finish more like the one Albert Collins used.

Thanks very much

I am thrilled with that colour - it just screams vintage tele to me
