That 'burst is so even that I imagined you had used an airbrush.
Eminently good looking Tele is the result of your innovative method.
Cheers for your walk thru of your burst method. Im toying with the idea of a burst with similar colours and your post we be priceless. I love your colour/ hardware scheme and your axe looks awesome!!!
Good stuff Weirdy!
Nice to see you find the workaround for two colours that are reluctant to work together.
Steel wool is one of the best tools for blending. Like you have done, I also do my final blending with steel wool. This has worked on the lighter sun burst combos that I have done so it is great to see someone having success on darker combos.
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Broadband down four days,
The world is a cold dark place,
Dial up, last resort.
<sigh>
Applied top coat 7 during the week (3 days between each of the first 4 coats and a week or so between each of the last 3). I think that will be the last top coat, will post some pics once I rejoin the modern world. Still working on inlay experiments for the headstock (and tormenting DB with questions), and have settled on what I'll do but not how I'll do it as yet. The experiments continue...
Scott.
Hi Weirdbits (and fellow Scott!)
All kudos and congratulations to you for one of the best documented builds I've yet seen (although I'm just a PBG newcomer myself) ... and a great job done too! - you certainly get a vote from me for entry into the "/</p>[/<\\/p>[]<\\/p>/]</p>/PBG Inspirational Build Documenters Hall of Fame" (along with several dozen others in the PBG community! ... come to think of it, I don't think that there's ANY of the documented builds that don't inspire!
Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!
SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)
WOW truly awesome.
To echo Scott J's sentiments, when this Build Diary is finished, it definitely needs it's own Hall of Fame. This is really inspirational stuff. I've had customers contact me to return a kit because the nut wasn't glued on properly. Weirdbits got a very challenging kit, one that should have never left the factory, and has turned it into a masterpiece.
Cheers,
Adam
