tkcrabby Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 (edited) Hi guys, Long story short, I bought this tele type body last year thinking I'd finish it BUT I've had second thoughts, I really know down deep that I have no business trying this at this time,,, I have NO experience spraying finishes and this is in my opinion much too nice a body to "learn" on, so here's what I want to do,,,,,,,,,,,, I want to end up with the top being stained as close as possible to the shade of blue in the picture , the back and sides with no stain and all shot in clear gloss, and one other thing, I want a nice deep "belly cut". SO, who wants to do this for me? Here's the blue I want. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e249/tkc58/dimasitele.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e249/tkc58/dimasitele1.jpg Here's more pictures of the body: it's quilted maple top, and walnut body,,,,,,,,,,, http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e249/tkc58/100_2357.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e249/tkc58/100_2347.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e249/tkc58/100_2346.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e249/tkc58/100_2345.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e249/tkc58/100_2344.jpg Edited September 25, 2007 by tkcrabby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikbojerik Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 SO, who wants to do this for me? These guys will. Wilkins Guitar Finishes Boston Guitar Works USA Custom Guitars Marty Bell Finishing You really can't do it for much under $300. Expect an additional cost for the belly cut.

Sand Paper Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I'm in Columbus Ohio. I could do it at work but from previous experiences and seeing as how we don't do guitars every day, you'd be paying about $500, maybe more depending on what you want. It might take a month or more as well, we're backed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
