It's almost tempting to leave it natural all over.  Almost.  But I have one like that already  ;)

That Tele is looking great! Can't wait to see what it looks like once it's finished. I think the blue sparkle will look great on the korina wood.

that looks SICK, I want one.

the natural Korina would look nice, but I'm a sucker for sparkle finishes so here's a +1 for the blue sparkle.

Looking really cool, looking forward to see the finish done! And the pickguard is looking cool, so I'm with the mouth shut :lol:

Wez is just finishing off the sculpted heel and he's convinced me to go for a 'tummy cut' in the back, so that will be added before it heads off for finishing.  He's also going to round the body binding a bit to make it less hard-edged on my forearm when I play.

It's all coming together nicely  :)

just mounted the neck to test everything lines up before i do the final clean up and sand to send it off for finishing


glad i didnt cut those TV jones wires much shorter all those years ago!!

here is a shot to show the rather subtle contouring on the back

rather than having it look like it has been attacked by a shark i really wanted to keep this soft, more like the roundover has increased as it gets towards the waist

Decisions, decisions..............tummy cut or liposuction.

But it's looking great, Wez.
