Are you in Sydney Dude ?
So still diggin' that blue ! That's fabulous !
I recently use TruOil on a Tele neck... Wow ! what a great finish... Same as you , light wire wool every third coat.
I chose to leave the last coat untouched. Smooth and shiny !
I had the same issue with "sink" on mine... live and learn ! I'm guessing I simply should have left it sit for a few weeks before filling, priming and sanding again. Just to give it all tie to...
Pretty happy with this...
Gotta admit... I'm really digging playing this one!
I'll post the warts and all pics on the weekend when there's some sun around!

Warning noted ..
I'm not worried about this one yellowing up. It's just the neck (which is a bit pale at present, anyway).
Might help help give it a bit more character.
Sure feels nice though !
Tru oil is awesome... why have I not discovered this sooner !
Really happy with how my build is coming together.
I had to fix up an error I made with bridge position to get it to intonate nicley,...
Thats super nice man !
How did you finnish the fretboard ?
I'm concidering simply Tru-Oliing the whole thing ... fretboard and all.
Would that be wrong ?
Hi TZK,
I found it on EBAY. Was searching gold telecaster bridge.
resistance was useless....
Thanks Frank. Yeah I had it much more Barbie pink to start with, but by coincidence, the Paisley was much darker and was a good color match for the Magenta acrylic I had. In retrospect I would make...
Sides re painted, burst re done and first gloss coat....
Thanks Andy. I'm getting happy about this build again. It was starting to get me down a bit. Amazing the difference a few good build days can make.

Blue, purple or sea green and jade. I could almost just make a whole color range.
I managed to salvage the Nitro faded disaster-caster, and we're two gloss coats in at present.
Next decision...
Thanks man. Yeah. I wasn't sure about it either... But the more I looked at them, the more I wanted that look! Spray adhesive beats PVA hands down!
I've gone overboard with the gold gear, but...
Just maybe.... Repinked the sides and need to redo the burst. It will still look a little faded but not too bad.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190421/57c41460db5aec351e62a5b6572f8e17.jpg

I don't think I can save this. Probably back to sanding back to wood again.

Darn. Made good progress and had a really nice looking body ready for top coating. Been resting it for over two weeks. Put a mist coat of clear Nitro followed by a heavier coat after 30mins. Came...
PS... I suspect the SC has a very low dc resistance compared to the 7+K ohm Toneriders ...
Lower than the HB's by itself (pos 3)
and would equate to an even lower value when paralleled with the...
On another note (no pun intended)...
I swapped out the two HB's that came with the kit for a pair of ToneRider Generators.
but I kept the kit supplied SC in the middle.
I'm finding switch...
Hi Marcel... Yeah, I have already taken the plate off the bottom of the nut. Had to do so to get the slot Heights down. Then it was too low. I ended up shimming it with a trimmed down piece of neck...
The Tele is sullenly refusing to progress. One step fwd two steps back. Back to sanding again this weekend....
