You're shaking, you're stompin' ...

You can't see straight ...

You're in withdrawal ...

Let us know how they sound together.

A Tele into a Harvard, a most righteous old school tradition.

Paint is on. Now I just need to let it cure for a couple weeks then put her together!

[fullertone]

Gorgeous. It is fun to follow this bugger from idea to guitar. Can't wait to see it finished.

Sweet. Groovey is one lucky bastid! What is the top coat you are letting cure? A couple weeks seems like a long time with modern finishes.

I like your shop too, very cozy. I'm shooting to get my own shop down to a more manageable size like this.

It's McFaddens nitro. You can buff it out after as little as a week but I find two weeks is a good minimum for me. I would rather let it cure for 4 weeks but Groovey is dying to get this guitar in his hands!

Thanks for the compliment on my shop. It is just about as "cozy" as I can stand. It's in a perpetual state of disarray but when I clean I can't find anything.

Wow! Jason, that looks great! Keep the pics coming when you can.

Hey, you should post this in the Pinewood Derby thread.

True story


A couple of weeks is not too long on a Nitro Cellulose Finish. I had the pleasure of playing a git that was sanded down between coats every month it was smooth as glass and had 36 coats.

Three years he worked it smooth as a babies butt

[Groovey Records]

Jay if it takes four weeks let it be, I got the time to wait ... what the hell.

Time cures all ills

it looks like a tobacco sunburst covering the rosewood veneer

We sure have made a few turns along the road

I like it

It is all Butter and a little Crunch with a creamy carmel center.

A true classic

[Groovey Records]

[jaydawg]

She's just about ready to sand and buff.

Wish everyone could come over and play through my Harvard amp, because this description is exactly right!

[jaydawg]

Here is a little tease. Just need to cut the pickguard and string it up!
