GuitarMill Body?

[johnstratiwant]

Hi everyone,

I am thinking of doing a DIY telecaster build. I read that GuitarMill bodies are pretty good.

Anyone have any experience with their bodies? I am thinking of getting either ash/alder body and finishing it myself

Doing a budget build so want to keep the price as low as I can

Thanks!

Are you doing the finish yourself to save money or to create something unique? just asking as there may be cheaper options out there like stratosphere parts where you can get genuine finished bodies etc...

If you want a nitro finish and don't have a spray kit at home, I'd just buy a pre-finished body...

I have some specific specification that I like: lightweight body and two piece, so couldn't find it unless spending bit more $$

I was thinking getting spray paint from Wairau Paint Centre, apparently they have nitro spray paint based on previous forums?

Never did a parts caster but I have seen couple of videos hahaha. I did a body refinish on a strat before with acrylic automotive spray paint and it honestly turned out pretty descent. There was alot time involved but really enjoyed it--> sanding, primer, main coat, clear coating and then dry & wet sanding & polishing by hand

One week left mate, then that Tele is ready.

Good on ya. Leave that nitro stuff alone. Nothing good comes of it.

I have a GuitarMill neck - it is totally awesome, but it was pricey. No experience with their bodies. Excellent service and workmanship though.
