Hey everyone just finished a new build tele. Started off with a black stain washed on and lightly sanded then proceeded to put several coats of a darkened red stain. Headstock stained black and signed, (for the grandchildren) got to leave some kind of legacy. Pickguard is a custom maple veneer laminate, 4 pieces glued together then cut to fit also stained black. The nut is custom cut from cow bone and shaped, pickups are upgraded to Benson Custom pickups and the machine heads are Grover mini locking. Lots and lots of coats of clear coat, sanded and buffed. Bridge and electrical hardware stock. After a tedious setup it sounds amazing.
