I haven't bought a kit yet, but I want sure where else to put my ideas for my build.
As I'll probably be time poor for at least the next few years, I'm considering a build with natural or brownish tones for sealer, filler and finish. I love flexibility of true oil and I'm willing to put more time in for that... It's messing around with colours and dyes that I know will take me forever. I'm fickle with that sort of thing so I think it's best to avoid thing down the colour maze too much.
I found a natural tele pic and I'm thinking of going something like this.
Im thinking a a medium brown or walnut coloured filler with a tru oil French Polish. An amber tint from the oil didn't worry me. What about sealer though? Will shellac do the job?
I'll be using GTL-1 kit, upgrading the tuners as Ill need to get them straight away for the great price. I'll upgrade everything else over time as the mood strikes me.
It'll be a first build so not having to worry about dye will hopefully make it a bit easier.
