Looking great. All of your choices look spot on. I can see you are good at planning and meticulous in the details. Can’t wait to see the finished product.

The smell is so awesome.

Back and sides are…… Angelus black leather dye. Sanded back till black is only in the grain. Angelus green. Rubio monocoat 2C Emerald (two coats) Rubio monocoat Sheen plus (one coat) Blacktail Studio N3 Nano ceramic (3 coats each of hard coat and top coat) So far the top is… Rubio monocoat 2C...

The bridge is finally on after much tweaking for saddle height and intonation adjustments. First few layers of finish on the top as well. Just really loving how the sides look with that green next to the top. It freaking glows.

Really good video

Killing two birds with one stone. Finishing the body at the same time as I finish an Aggie Charcuterie board I’m making as a present. Gig ‘em Aggies!

All good advice. And advice that I ignored. My first build I got an unfinished Warmoth body, sourced my own lam top and got a Warmoth neck with no frets so I could do my own inlays. I'll say that it was 9 months of humbling frustrations but ultimately I built a guitar like no other. It looks...

Top is finally on. Neck is finished. The acoustic bridge is not going to be adjustable after the fact, so I have to make sure everything is perfect before it goes on.

You make a good point

I love both the look and the feel. Most Telecaster bridges are just cheap.

I'm impressed. I was worried about the intonation, but it is spot on. As is the radius for the compound fretboard. Very high quality (and heavy) parts.

Not being happy with the acoustic bridges I was finding for a Graphtech Ghost system, I designed and made my own. Used a Shaper Origin handheld CNC. Macassar ebony blank. Still have a lot of finish sanding to do, particularly on the step downs on the wings, but I managed to nail the dimensions...
