Micter Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Scratch built body obviously African Mahogany. Grain filled with dark walnut Timbermate, dyed with Transtint Red, Deft S&S, Deft brushing lacquer sprayed through a Preval. The neck isn't my creation. It's a Warmoth neck that I have had for about a year and a half. I needed to do something with it. The Trem is a Gotoh Floyd Rose. The pups are a Dimarzio PAF Pro in the bridge with a coil tap on the push pull volume. The neck is something I have had in my parts bin for years. I don't remember what it is but it sounds OK. Not a lot of output but very tone-full. This guitar looks 100% better in person. It is very difficult to capture the depth of the grain with my digital camera. To referesh your memory. Here is what it looked like in the begining of the finishing process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micter Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 What kind of finish did you use? That looks very nice. I used timbermate dark walnut grain filler, transtint red in lacquer thinner straight to the wood.,Deft S&S, and Deft brushing lacquer sprayed through a preval.

ihocky2 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Awesome looking. I am not a Tele purist, so in my mind that is what a Tele should look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiscabob Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I love what you did with that African mahogany, it really makes the guitar "pop" IMO. I just recently scored a 72"x8.5"x1.25" piece of the same from the bay for just under 20 bucks, hope mine finishes as well as yours! +1 on the Floyd, btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micter Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Awesome looking. I am not a Tele purist, so in my mind that is what a Tele should look like. I'm not much for traditional guitars at all. I kind of like doing different configurations, colors, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Souls inc. Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Lube! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Green Lube.... or, in the pool industry, "Palm grease".......... A Tele with a 'tude! I love it. Not every day you see a Floyd with a tele wrapped around it. Killer looking finish too. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
