Another Tele Strat hybrid..

Perfect, thank you! I'm thinking of staining the neck except for the front of the Tele headstock shape to make it stand out a little more. A subtle change would be best.

Ok I have let the side down... this is what I did this arvo. Four colour sunburst, teak, jarrah, mahogany, black Japan using my trusty Aldi airbrush kit, a bargain at 100 bucks!
So no hot pink with this kit... I'll just have to wear it while I play instead.

That looks great, especially the pickups. What are they?

Thanks Andy.

Never heard of them, but they look good!

Is the sunburst on the Les Paul sprayed or cloth applied?

Looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok first coat of poly, I tend to do the first coats in satin as I'm less likely to bugger it up and it goes off quicker and sags less. Final couple of coats will be gloss.
The horrid smudge under the bridge was the result of me trying to fix something badly. Luckily completely hidden when complete!

I used my trusty Aldi airbrush. You can see it in one of the pics. Feast Watson prooftint stains. Thanks!

Here's a shot of the back. A bit darker than the front as I did the front first and had some dark overspray near the centre of the burst when I turned it over.

Oops sorry didn't read your post correctly! The LP burst is 2 tone only, teak to mahogany, applied with the same airbrush. A super cheapy kit the family bought me to keep me quiet over Xmas... but it actually plays ok! There's a better pic of the front of it somewhere else in this thread.

After a couple of coats of clear. I did use sanding sealer on it, but clearly not very well! There's still huge pits in it from the pores, although I'm sure I can solve that with many thin coats of clear.
There's a few stuff ups in it as you can see from the filler marks, I broke 2 scratchplate screws off in it even though I'd drilled pilot holes... not sure if I was too gung ho, the screws were chocolate or the timber was really hard. I'm thinking all three. Luckily all of the stuff ups are completely covered when assembled, got away with is so far!
