    As much as I detest the green that shall not be named, sometimes it fits. This could be one of those builds.

    The belt sander has come out and this is the result. Wow this wood is hard! I'm happy that I got it nice and flat rather than curved as I think this is more in keeping with the body shape. No back of the body rout. That shape doesn't bother me, and I don't think it would suit as well.

    Nice work Andy, the belt sander would have made it easier than a plane or a spokeshave!

    Thank you FW!
    Here's shot of a cheaply kit the family bought me to keep me busy over Christmas, I put the sunburst on the front of this. I still have some stain left. The other pic is the rustoleum paint which I think is a pretty close Seafoam. So now to decide, although I won't be able to paint until I get access to a drill press which has the reach to put the string holes through the body. We should have one at work in a month or so, so I'll have to wait to use that!
    Now, who likes the seafoam colour???

    Another Tele Strat hybrid..

    That’s the exact product I used.



    Just be aware that it will eat the rubber on guitar stands which then sticks to it.

    That rustoleum takes months to really go hard, could that be why it stuck? I hang my guitars by their neck so that's not a risk. I like the colour!!!

    Could be. I’ll clean it up and see if it does it again. I’ve added the pic above. I like the colour on this guitar too

    How long has it been painted when it did that? I really do mean that they seem to take months to really go hard. I try to get the bits in the sun on very hot days to help. The upside is it is loads more durable than auto acrylic when it does set.

    This is my experience as well. It takes a long time to properly harden, but when it does its great as a guitar finish.
