Top stuff. That Azure lagoon has come up a treat.

Nice job! Why does some part of the wood absorb differently? My alder tele has the same thing, so there's a piece that's standing out amongst the others.

looks fantastic Danger, well done, you must be stoked with the outcome. How does it play and sound ? look forward to a video

Thanks everyone!

SIMpleONe89- I'd say it has something to do with the amount of sanding.. I know that I cheated a bit and would focus on some parts more than others, so thats probably why it has a bit of a different level to it. Plus different shades of wood probably change the way that the wudtone looks. Im not carpenter though!

It plays really great! I have a mexican tele and its really on par with that in my opinion. The bridge pickup is a bit too trebly for my liking but I was going to change it up regardless.
I tried to upload them last night but had no success.. Will post on youtube then link it to that tonight for everyone to see
(will be posted in the thread for video and audio demos)

Nice build DangerMan!! The grain looks great with the azure lagoon.

SIMpleONe89-there are a few possibilities, some include: your body is made up of mulitple pieces of wood and as no two pieces are perfectly alike, they take in the finish slightly differently. Another possibility is compression of the wood which affects how much finish is can take in, compression can occur from over sanding, temperature differences, etc.

Thanks again guys!
Every little word of encouragement or tip has helped a massive amount, so thank you!

In other news, I picked this guy up today; thinking he will be the start of my next telecaster

You must enter the Azzy Tele in GOTM.
