    That body is nicely finished Ben and like the colour.The neck has that lovely aged look. What did you use for your finishes.

    cheers guys. body is wudtone mahogany on both sides (the colour is slightly deeper on the back, i guess it cos the front is capped and the slightly different cuts absorbed the colour differently), and the neck is vintage yellow wudtone - was gonna go with a more natural colour for the neck but it wasnt in stock at the time.

    im happy with how it turned out, the warmth of the body colour goes with it well i reckon. the mahogany didnt come out how i planned either-i expected it to be darker and browner but i like how it turned out more i reckon

    Ben, it doesn't hurt your chances by posting a pic of the headstock. Can only improve them.

    Wow 2 amazing entries already this month! Things are off to a great start. Ben the tele looks great dude! How does the Wudtone feel on the fretboard? I'm thinking of doing the same on my ash tele. Any chance of the sound demo? I bet she sounds awesome! Mikah, I can't say I've ever been a fan of this model, but you've brought it to life! I love what you've created here. The yellow finish is just flawless.

    cheers,
    Gav.
