Pine Tele body

[AniML]

Bought brand new but have lost interest and patience after trying to finish a few times. Most recently a sandthough while sanding clearcoat.

$70 pp/shipped.

Does it have a belly cut?

Also, do you have a picture of the original unfinished body? And what about a closeup of the sandthrough spot?

Re: Pine Tele body

No belly cut. No unfinished pics. It is about a 1" sand through to the primer on the back, upper bout.

Re: Pine Tele body

So it's relic'd, then?

What kind of paint? I'm wondering how hard it would be to take it down to bare wood. Did you use filler?

Take a pic of the bad spot. It might not bother me that much.

Timbermate waterbased filler, BIN shellac primer, and tried a few different finishes, partially removed then recoated. All lacquers so it will come off with lacquer thinner and elbow grease.

I had not yet started sanding the front or sides. Frankly I was rushing and already losing interest in the whole project.

Cut my losses

Where'd you buy the body from?

It was from a small builder, ordered to my specs. But It was a while ago so I dont remember who.

Re: Pine Tele body

OK, it's hard for me to tell from the pics but the top one makes it look like a metallic finish, but the bottom one doesn't. Which is it?
