Tuff Dog Tele

Thanks for the comments I am very pleased with it at the moment ( I haven't touched it yet )

And it will definitely be a Merle tribute guitar I have played so many of his songs over the last 40 or so years and enjoy the battle of coming to grips with the fabulous guitarists who have graced The Strangers ( Roy Nichols, Roy Buchanan & Redd Volkaert in particular ) Merle himself was a very talented picker but he was leaving it to the younguns at the end because the mind and the fingers didn't have it anymore.

@ Woks I am using Coolongatta Gold and Black Stump for the finish on DBs recommendation and I think I can do a fair job of it because I won't be rushing it, there is no need the current herd covers the sonic palate I need. Truth be known the only guitar I probably need is my 1976 Shergold Masquarader until I need Strat quack and a wiggle stick ( but a man can never have too many toys )

Looking forward to seeing this evolve Dave, it looks a fantastic kit to work with.
