Dude, that looks pretty awesome! What kind of torch did you use?

Re: S KITS?

Poly is easy to get off. Just torch it.

This is a pine tele body that I torched along the grain then stained fwiw.

Re: S KITS?

Jermo, I have to admit that I didn´t use a real torch. I had... ahem... piece of paper wrapped into a metal stick, I lit it and then sprayed some deodorant to the fire (makes a nice "torch"). I can tell you, not the wisest and certainly not the safest way to do but it worked under the circumstances. Wouldn´t recommend it to anyone, thinking about it later I should have done it other way.

That´s one damn good looking piece of pine, phred.

Yeah, that's a nice one. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

Re: S KITS?

Yeah, I dig it. It was a showcase body. Idk if I want to stain it first, or just cover it in tru oil and let it ride.

Re: S KITS?

I love how smooth the grain looks like. It´s not popping out too much. Very nice looking body.

Re: S KITS?

That subtle grain would look good with a lighter transparent dye on it.

Re: S KITS?

A thin, glossy finish over orange dye would look bit-chin on that guitar.

Sanded it to 400 and applied Minwax Special Walnut, very very lightly
