Popular Post ADFinlayson Posted March 13, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 Doing another tele, this time "See-through black" although I think there will be a very fine line between not black and not see-through black, so I'll be doing a tester! A 4a roasted maple neck blank from Hades Roasted Maple, nice dark Indian rosewood board from Feelgoodwood and a one piece swamp ash blank from Stewmac. I'm hoping it's going to come out around 7 - 7lb 3. I've got all new nickel (mostly Gotoh) hardware that I am hoping to slightly age with some white vinegar fumes - The pre aged hardware I got for the last one looks way too aged for what I want for this one and is significantly more expensive. I'm not a huge fan of where the crotch figure is but there was some of that annoying grey discolouration you can sometimes see in Ash that I cut out having the cutaway where it is, this also hides that little knot in the control cavity. So you win some, you lose some. I've skipped forward a couple of steps because I plowed ahead and forgot to get the camera out, but there is where it's at now. I'm going to lacquer the headstock to show off the figure and protect my scribbles on the back but I think I will just oil or maybe even leave the shaft of the neck bare - It's has some really tight grain, nice and uniform and perfectly quarter sawn. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
