  1. Well now...it seems that I have created a monster. I appreciate all the interest and input guys, but I didn't mean to kick up alot of dust. It's really cool how a Joe-Schmo like myself can ask a hypothetical question and in a very short time have a wealth of minds help tackle it. This is a great website and I'm looking forward to be part of it. I hope that we can all keep our egos and negativity in check, and encourage each other....(insert group hug smilie). I decided for S&G's that I'll take an old POS S101 Charvel copy body and try it. It's a plywood piece of junk with a HH and 2 singles. After assembly and it has any hint of pleasing qualities(note: I didn't use the word-tone), then it might be plausable. It'll sorta be our little myth-buster experiment! I really didn't want to waste an alder body and have it sound like dookie. I'll probably use a dark burgandy stain on it with possibly a nitro finish schedule. And I also decided that if the S101 sounds OK, then I would try one with poplar. Thanks again dudes and dudettes-Tone Seeker
  2. Thanks all for the interest and input. The reason that I was even considering using truck bed liner spray as a finish is that I built a pair of custom designed MTM transmission line tower speakers for my living room and the speaker face and trim are a teak veneer and with the matte-black bed liner, they look incredible together. The spray cans are available at any auto store(cheap) and if you spray on light coats until the desired texture is achieved, it can turn out looking great. I also liked the durability aspect and if you spray a matte/satin poly coat or 2 this would eliminate any uncomfortable peaks in the finish. On a tele body with a veneer of it on the headstock with a say a raised brass or chrome inlay of a motif or logo...it might look pretty sweet. Or maybe even some kind of chrome auto insignia. I just thought I'd throw it out there for anyone interested or would have any input on the subject. Thanks for all that this site does for the building comunity...Carry-on!
  3. Hey all...new to the site. Love it here. Anyone use or have you heard of anyone who used black spray-on truck bed liner as a guitar finish? I'm building a tele with and alder 2pc body and thought it might be an interesting mod. The main concern is (of course) how it would effect the tone/flavor of the guitar. Though it may sound obscure, I think that it could look pretty sweet if done right. Any input would be appreciated-Thanx-Dano
