tsl602000 Posted September 18, 2003 Report Posted September 18, 2003 I started working on my third guitar this week. After two solid color strats I decided it was time to do something more fancy. Hope you like the pics. I'll post more of 'm as work progresses. Quote
westhemann Posted September 18, 2003 Report Posted September 18, 2003 that certainly fits the fancy part.and what a nice fretboard. love the flame maple too Quote
Setch Posted September 18, 2003 Report Posted September 18, 2003 Nice flame, and really clean work - not a hint of burning, even in the corners of your routes. What's your secret? Quote
tsl602000 Posted September 18, 2003 Author Report Posted September 18, 2003 What's your secret? to have the body made by a skilled person...:-) This is my first maple topped guitar and decided not to take any risks, so I had some one else rout the body for me...... Quote
Setch Posted September 18, 2003 Report Posted September 18, 2003 Sneaky. Seeing the work you did on the first two I don't think you've got much to sweat, they were really sharp guitars. Where do you get that lovely maple from? Quote
tsl602000 Posted September 18, 2003 Author Report Posted September 18, 2003 Setch, I bought it from a luthier here in Holland.... both the neck and top are 4A Quote
budman68 Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 Very nice project so far, I've been wanting to do a tele for some time now. Hmmmm how about a neckthru? Dave-> Quote
Brian Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 Any idea's on what color(s) this beauty will end up being? Quote
Roli Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 It's gonna be kinda burst I bet! ...with a roller?! Quote
tsl602000 Posted September 19, 2003 Author Report Posted September 19, 2003 It's gonna be kinda burst I bet! ...with a roller?! Any idea's on what color(s) this beauty will end up being? HAHAHA, I was waiting for the roller comment...:-) No, this guitar will have a natural binding and I never liked bursts anyway. I got a color sample chart in front of me and I'm still in doubt about the color. It's gonna be something like this:link I know that guitar has a burst... I'll either go with the yellowish or brown stain..... Quote
Roli Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 Honey color with that flame top is awesome. Quote
