Hi guys I'm back....
I'd like thank Adam for doing a Baritone neck.
I've bought a 27" and I'm throwing it onto Tele body.
I was going to do a borax/enamel dip for the finish, but it to good a bit of timnber to hide behind paint!

Yep true story Bruce, it would be a shame to hide that one. What are you thinking, grain pop and a light stain or clear?
A light cedar stain, I'm thinking 70's style colouring.
The supplied pick guard is not doing it for me.
I might just make a min one to hold the neck pickup and show more of the timber.

You could always direct mount the Neck PUP, i always find something funny looking about those little pickup rings on a tele. That's completely personal view of course.
Yeh, I'll have to have a good think about it.
I've just given the body a quick sand, wiped it with a damp cloth to pop up the grain, sanded it again and p it a grain sealer on.
It's starting to look pretty shmick!

After struggling with poly finish again ( never again) I've made a little progress.
I bought some CTS pots and had to route the control cavity.
And I've started the wiring.
