nicely stripped - how was it done?

Lots of sanding - the best way to strip anything!!

The finish we are using at the moment is Rustins Plastic Coating. Its the stuff Brain May used on his red special. Once dry i dont think anything would strip it.

It should look 100 times better once it is all levelled off and buffed out

all done now,, i have tried to show it in different light to show how the burst changes:

Unfortunately i couldnt convince the guy to have BKP's in this one but i did try - he already had some seymour duncans he wanted to use - even though the wires were cut far too short and i had to replace those first!!!

I did sell him a guitar last year with a single BKP-92 - i'm trying my best.

Mmm- nice grain on that tele Wez
Hmm- purple seems to be in at present (whether it was intentional or not - as per your first posting)

Here is one that we have just gotten back from the paintshop.
Not muy usual style of photography - just snapped it for a first impression rather than my usual setting up the studio shot

That looks incredible! Is that a burst, or just blacker round the edges due to the carve and the quilt?

always liked purple LPs - there were a couple of flametop standards knocking around the North East 5-10 years back, they were gorgeous but I was a poor student at the time.

:twisted:

Both phenomenally gorgeous.

But I can't say that Maple fretboards go too well with dark purple bursts :p

A bit of both to be fair - a very minor burst at the very edge and the light being reflected differently due to the carve

Fingerboard is Ebony with a split Mother of pearl/Black tahiti pearl inlay pattern

Pickups shown are Painkillers although will be assembled with similar looking Rebel Yells

The pruple Lp is great, its convinced me that i need to make something similar this summer - although i will tweak the shape a bit i reckon

i have been playing the tele this week because the guy who is having it is on his hols. the SD jazz in the neck sounds really nice but the hotrails really isnt doing the guitar justice so i am trying to convince him to go for something else!! I really dislike rail pickups, i had to wire a strat with Bill lawrences on thursday. I could cope with that if he had got them off bill lawrence but he used the other company that uses bills name!!! Why dont these people listen to me when i tell them to avoid something!!!!!

anyway since the rails will not be staying in the tele he wants a SD little 59 but i am trying to push him in the BKP direction - probably a BG bridge pickup

Seems a shame to go with the Little '59, it's giving up most of the guitar's "Tele-ness". But would the BG have enough volume to match well with the Jazz?

there was an epiphone les paul 3 pickup limited edition beast that had the same finish as that. It was so cool, as is that telecaster 8)
