Hitone Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 http://www.guitartree.net/HiTone http://www.guitartree.net/HiTone image 01 http://www.guitartree.net/HiTone image 01 I have been working on a Tele for friend of mine. It was his request that I do it with my headstock. Which I think is working. I also finished the entire fretboard the same color as the body and neck. I wasn't sure how well this was going to turn out. I've seen fender do this on some custom shop instruments. It looks really cool now. Hopefully it will wear nicely. The color is a kind of TV yellow. I used the StewMac Guitar Finishing Step-By-Step book recipe. Actually I was going for a honey blond, but I the yellow was a bit brighter than I expected. Lucky for me the client loves the color. Next time I will experiment more on some scrap before I commit to a color. So far I have no string buzz without doing a fret job. Hopefully this will be the an easy set up. Something I'm not use to.

Mickguard Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Well, if you used nitro, the color should mellow quite a bit. Good thing you pointed out that your friend wanted your headstock...it's not just that it looks a little odd on a tele, the idea of putting your own headstock on someone else's design, couldn't have been an easy decision to make. I'm saying this only because you pay so much attention to detail on everything else you do, so it's kind of a backward compliment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
