So this build came from nowhere. Ads kindly gave me the tele ash body was a very early beta test from DB testing DT Karijini red. I visited DB's man cave Friday with a maple neck blank planning for DB to help me start a scratch baritone neck. Then DB tells me he won't have time to build a body for the baritone neck he had 95% completed. So I ended up leaving with neck blank untouched and an almost complete baritone neck ! Thanks very much DB !
I've since put side dot markers on the neck and had to cut the neck pocket on the body to suit the curved neck heel. I touched up the sanded area with DT Mark II Uluru red.
The body got a coat Friday night with Uluru red and planning another coat later today it should get some more depth in the colour. It has got a bit darker last 1.5 days curing.
Here's a mock build with spare parts I had. I will be upgrading the bridge, tuners, pups and electrics. I will have to hunt down a 4+2 tuner set, the mock build is using 3+3 tuners
