  • Refinished my tele

    This was the first guitar body I ever made. It used to a sonic blue top with pickguard and a natural finish back. I was never happy with my finish on this one as it was one of my earliest attempts and I was still using spray cans back then. The back looked pretty fuzzy.

    Came around and removed the top, filled in the pickguard holes and did the whole thing with a blue sparkle finish which is a big upgrade IMO. Plays and sounds great. Kind of like what I imagine a cross between a tele and an old woody sounding les paul might be? But don't listen to me. I'm just guessing. Looks awesome tho!

    Nothing wrong with rattle can jobs as long as you know what you're doing.
    This blue sparkle is superb - you're hired!

              Yep. Sparkly and UN-pointy. That's the ticket.
