@boo Apologies if I’ve missed this detail somewhere… What pickups did you use for this build?

Sad to hear that Lewis is moving on - he did a lovely job on my Tele - please send him my best wishes.

Posted by: @markbailey Cheers @russ I'll pass that on... Finishing is one of the most challenging and rewarding parts of the job - good to get my hands back on the ole spray gun.. @markbailey. Great...

Posted by: @clinton Perhaps Louis might know. @clinton Is Lewis on this forum? He must be, surely. Maybe @markbailey can give him a nudge for a little input perhaps. 😉 I suspect he would say...

@boo thanks boo. Thinking the same thing. I think if I am wrong damage happens within years. That is why I wanted to confirm a definitive approach but practicing on scrap is on my radar. What do you t...

There's only one way to find out! I think y'all probly know my answer - I'm with @Boo : Test on scrap...let us know how it goes! ... sorry can't help more... 🤔

@clinton Not all sanding sealers are cellulose based. Acrylic such as Chesnut brand is compatible with most things. Not sure if it’s available where you live. Probably would not use it on an acoustic ...

Hi, question that hopefully someone knows the proper way. So, I intend to top coat with wipe on poly diluted with mineral spirits. 4-5 coats with wet sanding in between. Pretty standard right? Howe...

Posted by: @robin I found it quite rewarding to go from the "I'll never be able to do that" stage, to "well that turned out not too bad". Definitely! My wife helped me a lot with the design and dr...

@clinton great build is it a 3 piece body?

Teles are fun to build and will retire this classic iconic design for a while. I went all Natural on this with Swamp Ash, Flame Maple and Rosewood. Attachment : 6E47FBAB-0EAB-4DA5-8F60-5CBFF849C6...

@clinton That’s another superb build and such a nice finish on it. That’s a nice shine I see on that body. 🙌

Another nice one @clinton. Nice table too. Did you make that as well? 😁🤣 🎸🎶🙏🙂

@boo Thanks to you. Your adviced worked out really well!
