Still jonesing for a freaking Floyded Tele!!! (Part 2)

Re: Still jonesing for a freaking Floyded Tele!!! (Part 2)

Nice! That neck figure looks great. Love me some birdseye.

Applied about a half dozen costs of lemon oil. It appears that this one is going to stay lighter in color than the prior ones I've done...probably not too far off from starting to rattle can the Clear Gloss Nitro.

"Direct Sunlight"


"Indoor Flash"





"indoor No Flash"





*** I think the first "Direct Sunlight" pic and this pic are the most representative of the actual color at which it has arrived.

That looks great, it will probably darken up over time anyway. I bet you can't wait to just get it finished.... But it'll be worth it.
 
Re: Still jonesing for a freaking Floyded Tele!!! (Part 2)

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words. I am hoping to get it ready for assembly in next week or two. All depends on how the Nitro goes on. It's plenty warm here so finishes should dry pretty quickly and I usually don't put a heavy finish on anyway. But yes Sir; I'm excited to get it done as soon as possible.

That looks fabulous! *fight the GAS, fight the GAS, fight the GAS...[emoji38]


Sent from my TARDIS using timey-wimey talk.

Ha! Thank you. It's coming along. Most definitely glad I ordered the one piece body from Tone Bomb.

Most definitely going to be a "Natural" Finish. First coats of Gloss Clear Nitrocellulose...

Been a bit side-tracked with helping my friend's wife liquidate his gear the last few weeks so this project kind of halted after a couple coats of Nitrocellulose. I've sold all of his guitars/amps/studio recording gear and am down to basically his recording rack items with a total of $8,500.00 in proceeds to his widow.

I am planning to put some time in sanding and applying addl coats of Nitrocellulose onto the Time Bomb Body over this long Labor Day Weekend. Also picked up a SD MJ Wound "JNJ" Jazz Neck HB and am going to use it with a CS MJ Wound RTM DeMartini TB instead of the EMG Het Set. Onward and upward! :)

That's looking great, love the grain and all black hardware.

You are definitely not helping here, I've wanted a super-tele for years, ever since I saw Criss Oliva playing a white -either Jackson or Charvel- one.

Cannot ever justify a 9th guitar when I have 3 in storage already but I've always really wanted one.

13 ounces nitrocellulose clear gloss sprayed on. Let it dry for a few days then sand n buff.
