Ah, that reminds me of a question I wanted to ask!

I have a solid rosewood Warmoth neck which is a bit too sharp around the edges of the headstock etc, I want to round it off a little.  What grades of paper should I use?  I was thinking start off with maybe 240 or 320, then work up?

They look great Wez-the "Tele" especially.

i would probably be scr@ping it after doing the fretboard edges, i likes me razor blade :) but sanding with 240 upwards will be fine

Cheers Wez.  I will try the razor blade thing eventually!   :)

those all look fantastic Wez, every guitar you do just seems to get better and better!  i may have to order one off you :)

are those two tele's gonna beat each other up?

oh, for my tuppence worth, i prefer the Floyded tele without the scrathplate.  sorry ;)

[Philly Q]

 :lol:  I didn't know there was a Rangers one on the way too!  Don't keep them too close together!

[FernandoDuarte]

Who will belong the Rangers esquire???

Lovely guitar Wez, just lovely!

[Twinfan]

The Rangers Esquire is for Wez's body painter I believe  :)

That blue would look great with a bit of sparkle  ;)

yeah, mike is a rangers fan so when i asked about spraying a celtic esquire he suggested making it a pair.

they will both be identical with a single blackdog bridge pickup - i routed for a neck pickup just to allow future mods.  Only difference is that the rangers one is sapelle and celtic one is proper honduran mahogany.  The sapelle did have a noticeably brighter tap tone and i am going to be interested to see how much of that i can hear trhough the amp ... since i havnt built identical guitars before

I havnt spoken much about specs have i:

The wez paul:
1 piece mahogany body
Laminated deep set neck mahogany/maple/mahogany
Semi gloss finish
Ebony 24 3/4" scale fretboard
2-way truss rod and dual CF bars
Sperzel tuners & gotoh bridge/tailpiece
Raw nickel Naibombs
Standard controls

Esquires:
Mahogany/sapelle bodies - top bound
subtle contouring to soften the tele slab
Maple allparts necks
blackdog humbucker
3-way switch wired split/parallel/series
Master vol & Tone with push/pull tone preset on the tone (either 'c--ked wah' or the more traditional 'fixed bassy'
Gotoh hardware

Burl tele:
Mahogany/maple burl body
Raw macasser ebony neck
Wilkinson VS100 trem
Sperzel locking tuners
Manhattan/mule pickups

Wow! Now you caught my attention, really!
I'd like to see a clip of this Wez LP, always interested in a good clip of Nailbombs on a "LP"
