Woltz's TLA-1Q

[king casey]

nearly got Hendrixed or Townshended

I remember a black and white shot of Townsend at the repairers with the caption 'What have I done?'
So there was some salvaging going on.

As for Tru-Oil on the neck, I'm not keen on that route. Lots of problems collecting dirt and dust.
Also easy to mark up while using the fret protectors in the buffing.
Wears quite quick too. Far better to seal it with a couple of layer of laquer set really hard.

cheers, Mark.

The paua dots look fantastic. I’ve got some sitting here for my es-1 build but haven’t got around to it, Cheers for the inspiration 👍🏻

That does look a little bit special. I’ve never seen paua against maple before, nice.

Thanks guys, I'm liking the dots as well. Looking forward to seeing what they look like when the neck is finished.

Just catching up on some threads and sympathise with the challenges you have faced. None of my builds have gone to plan and quite often ended up with something totally different to what I had in mind.
In the end they are only perfect for a short while and once you start playing them they develop dings and scratches anyway. Don't beat yourself up too much as whilst we all strive for perfection by aiming for something that looks good, how it plays and sounds will be far more important in the long run.
Cheers, Waz

Cheers Waz. I'm actually not bothered about them accruing dings and scratches once it starts being used. Just hoping for a nice finish to begin with to be really happy. I'm trying to see the positive side, which is that this has given me heaps of finishing practice (and hopefully skills) which I'll need to do a nice job on my scratch build stuff.

Yep I'm much happier with the plan to spray lacquer. I'm planning to go with amber tinted nitro.
