Hey Lawry, your "Matriarch" looks great in the photos. But dark bottle green must show off that scratch plate at treat.

It'll be no good coming around to my place, the Strat will be gone on Sunday But she's going to a good home. Lol.

Cheers mate

Hi all,

I introduced myself a couple of months back then promptly got stuck into my kit and failed to produce a build diary. Too preoccupied with my adventures in the man cave I have been lurking around soaking up the wealth of knowledge and tips so it seems only fair I should share the result of my build and thank you all for so much information shared so freely.

This is my TL-1 'Blondie'.



A stock build except for the black pickguard and Schaller straplocks. Six coats of Wudtone Dairy Blonde, gold highlights and ten coats of gloss top coat. The neck was shaped from a template I found online then given two coats of vintage yellow and two gloss coats. I've masked the fretboard because I preferred the light maple tone and the face was given a Dr Ducks wax coat. All electrics are standard except for the 'hot rod' tone mod.

Now some closeups...




Good luck to all entrants - there's some outstanding work this month. Thanks again to the Pitbull Community for sharing so much knowledge here. It really is a good reason to keep coming back again and again.

Cheers,

Dennis.

P.S. Almost forgot. Real happy with the way she feels and sounds!!

well done to all the entrants this month, they are all worthy contenders and beautifully finished. It's going to be another tough month for the judges ! Best of luck to all forum members who entered, its been a while since we only had 4 or 5 entrants !
