Great colour Kev, what's that green called?
Hey thanks, I’m not sure. I spent very long time getting it right. There were some examples on their site and I just show them the pic. MJT are great to deal with
Yeah they are; great customer service.
I just ordered a closet-clean VTT body in Olympic White for my 60s tele build. Should arrive around Feb, can't wait.
I finally finished building this telecaster. It started life as a set of mahogany shelves that a friend gave me. I laminated them together (like a 1970s Les paul) and made a tele body out of them. Grant (lostininverness) routed the binding channels for me and I installed the binding. There's a post about that somewhere way back in 2017. I had a tele neck laying around and a bunch of other bits so it was roughly assembled as a twin humbucker tele with a wrap around bridge.
We had all our stuff arrive in the States a couple of months ago and amongst it all was this half done tele. I sprayed it 'antique gold ' with matching headstock, installed white plastics including a custom pickguard, banjo armrest (we are in the south after all!) custom made control plate with a volume for each pickup, epiphone probucker pickups (these things are awesome bang for the buck), lightning bolt Bridge with short arm maestro vibrato.

It's a fun guitar. The armrest and vibrato are more looks than function but they still hold their own!

Amazing! They look exactly the same.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Thinking I might redo it in poly…
