Started work on my second build.
Did a mock build first, everything looks good and in place. Shaped the headstock, using a standard telecaster template.
Now I’ve started finishing the body. I have a ‘rustic ash’ strat, a special edition fender from a few years back. My aim is to recreate that finish, this time in green, so I have a matching pair. Using rustoleum ‘rustic sage’ furniture stain. Found at Bunnings. Comes out somewhere between a paint and a stain, which is just what I was hoping. Still see plenty of grain underneath. Might go for another coat or two still, just even it all up.
Last image is the strat I have, that I’m attempting to match.
