You got the first coat on already?

Hi. I have a cupboard full of Feast & Watson Golden Teak and it's on everything!Originally Posted by I値l give it a go
Only kidding. I'll probably leave it at the one coat.
The neck will get the usual treatment.
Golden Teak and SCA clear gloss acrylic.
The body I'm gonna leave as is to pick up whatever battle scars occur.
I've de-glossed the scratch-plate to fit the image.
Tried for a 'fresh from the showroom' finish on my JM-1 and despite having the patience of a saint, it just didn't pay off.
Once you start playing them, the pristine finish quickly starts to pick up knocks and scratches.
Therefore this time it's a rough and ready player's guitar off the line.
cheers, Mark.
O.K. Here's another gormless foray into the unknown
Let's have a go at counter-sinking the string-through adapter.
Doh!! Fail!!
cheers, Mark.

One thing I have noticed is that you do not have any screw holes for your neck pick up. I think you said you had changed your scratch plate. On some other builds I致e noticed screws on their pick guards. On the pit bull videos they have screw holes but the pick up is screwed under the pick guard and attached to the guitar. I think it looks a little untidy having holes where the pick up is, would I be able to attach my pick up to the pick up guard if I wanted? All my electrics will be from the stock build.
On that shot I hadn't yet drilled the pickup holes, however I since have.
The Tele Squier that I started out with had no pickup holes and the pickup was mounted to the body with springs and foam under it.
Having it set this way means you have to adjust it with the pickguard off the guitar.
So ugly though it may be, it's more convenient to have the screws on the outside.
cheers, Mark.
Easter holiday is over...but alas not for the postie.
Closing in on the finish...
cheers, Mark.
Looks king tight mate! Great work on the flamey flame HS veneer
Cheers Bakersdozen. I'm just happy the holes are 'reasonably' straight first time (this time).
Just when you get the hang of something, it's time to stop.
[edit]...and with that build 3 has caught up to build 2.
cheers, Mark.
