Recreating the telecaster that string through ruined
My second build is almost similar to my first. I am taking the telecaster body and filling in the unsuccessful string through drilling and making it into a top loader. I’m thinking of a spray nitrocellulose finish. Was thinking, originally, to do a white nitro base
with a butterscotch blonde topcoat...although, traditionally, butterscotch blonde tends to show the grain though and with all the hole filling, I want an opaque colour.
While very not traditional fender, I have always liked a vintage Gibson (yes...I know..traitorous idea) broadcast yellow. The same place as the nitro white base, also does a vintage broadcast yellow, that they have modelled on a 1962 Gibson, where they took off the control cavity plate to get an unfaded but aged broadcast yellow colour.
I’m going to couple it with a maple neck, which I will order from pitbull in a week or two, an original fender ashtray bridge with top load, a 4 way switch ...Malibu switching ( Malibu, like Ken and Barbie?) and some analogman pickups.
