Agree with the Orange or 'Western Orange' vibe. The guitar looks like a semi-hollow Round-up.
If you refer to the one I am building... I traced my 6120 and made it a double cut. It is fully hollow but solidly built, ie, thickness of top varies from 6 to 8mm.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Not in my experience. Completely neutral.

depends on the wood and how many coats you put on really

Oh well, flag the Tru oil then. May still use it on the neck though since BG is raving about that :)

Quite like this red 335 with black binding...

Seconded. You will have a smug, self satisfied feeling for ever if you do. And a brilliant feeling neck.

I am so in need of "smug, self satisfied feeling"... which I am definetely not getting by leaving for work at 06:45 am today and getting back home at 19:15 pm. Going at this rate that guitar will be finished in 2020 or so.

My food colour stained & water base clear coated tele is in it's 8th year and looking great, the yellow a little more mellow.
I used acrylic water base clear after seeing how indestructible it was on the kitchen bench top. Must re-do the peeling polyurethane on the window sills with it.

Good to hear that. What brand acrylic clear? Any pics you posted in the past or can post now of the Tele?

Wattyl brand from memory, will have a look at the can as I've still got it in the cupboard. It's a brush on type, I'm sorely tempted to load up the spray gun & try it. Does brush on very smooth.
I played the tele last night and took a pic in the dimly lit area as the 5E3 was warming up... on standby :) , left the camera at home today though.
