I would recomend them to people on a budget, although its probably good to try a few out like any other guitar.

Yup, tis a westfield, i tried a few in the shop that were in my price range, and the westfield beat them all easily. I got lucky on it. Its not sandthrough mate, i think its a few dabs of epoxy or glue to fill some dents in the abelone(sp?) Looks bad right close up like that, but its hardly noticable really. I think it is a sand through, or wearing away of the inlay - the grain matches the wood perfectly. Not a chance that's glue/epoxy. Its not a sand through dude, it was raised up a little when i got it so i had to scrape it back a bit, a sand through would'nt be raised up. And if you look really closely at the picture, you can see the lines of the abelone going though it. Anyway, like i said, its not really that noticable from further than a few feet away.

Cheers mate, i'll try that out
-
the specs on the site i got it from say rosewood, they could be making specs up though. I do know that sometimes good wood sneaks through and onto budget guitars, so i mayu have just been lucky, ive seen a few of the same model as i have, and mine is the only one with a figued fretboard. But like you said, it may be dyed wood, but how could i check?
-
will cleaning and rubing in mineral oil darken it as well?
-
I have a flamed rosewood board on my les paul copy, which looks pretty sweet. But i would like to darken the fretboard, without losing the flame. And if possible, bring the flame out more. Any help would be much appreciated
-
oh, i'll look that up al, thanks.
-
Cheers rggr, im completely unexperienced in the field of finishing, so thanks for the tips.
-
ok, where would you suggest i can buy some non crap finish? Im in the uk remember so im not going to be able to get nitro from the u.s. Where could i get real hardening polyurethane from?
-
There are spots and patches on the finish that are large and through to the wood. Its pretty battered to be honest. If i sand a key and spray over it, will the dents and patches still be visible? And its polyurethane i think. Is there something i can use to fill the dents and then spray a solid colour over it?
-
I have looked through the forum and i am still unsertain how i can most easily remove the finish from my guitar. Its a poly finish as far as i know. Would the best way be to sand it, or is there a faster way? Also, will i have to treat the wood or anything before i refinish it? It'll be another poly finish. Also, also ive seen a spray poly finish at the hardware shop designed for interior furniture like banisters and things, would this be a suitible finish? or would car spray laquor(sp?) be the best thing? Sorry for all the questions......
-
Thanks for the advice there guys. I may try it, but im lazy, so i may not. But thanks anyway
-
Yeah, i'll probably do that mate. Just curious to see if its been done before.

Hello all, This here is my first post. I have this squier tele neck that i want to use on a body i've built. But the tele headstock does'nt really go with the design. Is it possible to cut the tele headstock off above the truss rod hole and glue a replacement headstock on?
