Zebrawood Tele - Build # ??? (Lost count)

[m0j0]

Was a bit nervous at how rough it looked after the initial cut...

[m0j0]

But, I hit it with a file, then some 120 followed by some 220. Still got some fine sanding to do but I'm not totally unhappy with it. Had to sand a little bit further than I'd liked near the neck due to my blade cutting a bit too deep in the wrong direction, but it shouldn't be too bad.

Mine looked much rougher after the first cut, so you have done pretty well there.

[Joe Garfield]

You cleaned it up nice! And regardless of species, your axe looks cool

[m0j0]

Progressing through the oil coats. I did manage to drop it out of the vice and have it bounce off concrete (more than once) a few days ago. There was plenty of swearing followed by a couple of hours of sanding to try and hide all the nicks, dings and scrapes.

[m0j0]

Deleted because I broke a rule.

[McCreed]

Looking good.
Sorry to hear about your vise misadventure. Looks like you recovered well from it.

Just curious, can you tell me how much the body weighs?

I did reply to this question previously but it got lost on the previous page in the middle of my other ramblings. Body by itself with no hardware etc = 2.24kg, although it's possibly slightly lighter now with the amount of sanding I had to do post bouncing

Thanks m0j0.

I understand your position on the logo, but don't be surprised if a moderator pulls it down. I think there's a rule about it some where, but I may be wrong.

[Simon Barden]

There is. Can you remove it M0j0, before a mod does?

Been there, done that, with the dropping a nearly finished body business. I feel your pain.

With the logo in that position, you'll really need a button-type string tree for just the top E and B strings, just forward (nut side) of the G string post, in the early 50s style.
