Thread: My Daughters Tele !

  1. #1
    My 9 year old Daughter Ashlyn wanted a guitar of her own ( her 13 year old brother has a Cherry Red Strat!) so i decided to build her a Tele in her favorite colour Green .......... here it is so far painted in a metallic Sea Foam Green with a Mother of Pearl binding.

    looks excellent Trevor, love the colour. The MOP binding and pearl pickguard suit really well. Did you do the binding yourself ?

    Sure did ....... Ive set up my router just perfect for the 1.5 mm X 6 mm binding then is just a case of heating with a hair dryer and super glueing it down and taping it into place. Once Ive completed the color i use a razor blade to carefully scrape the binding down to the body as i have it sitting slightly proud and this also scrapes off any over spray on it -That's the teadous part - and then shoot clear lacquer over the whole body.

    The metallic green with the MOP looks great. My daughter would be very jealous!
