Try a 250k vol pot for some cheap easy high end removal. Are your pickup heights identical?

Same. Hot humbuckers early on, then got the Telecaster bug, now into low output PAFs and Filtertrons.

Pot values, wiring setup?

Who flipped the neck pickup around on the Candy red Strat? It was clearly the other way round in the photos.

I find it funny Mr Walsh is auctioning off exactly 420 guitars.

Is that knot filled with clear and smoothed by Warmoth or can ya feel it I really like how this build is sort of OEM+. Like okay it’s a natural finish Tele with a black guard… but it’s fire roasted pine and the guard is leather. Same DNA, individual expression.

Interesting choice to spec a vintage Tele replacement body for that first Esquire but exclude the neck rout. Defeats the point of the wiring channel rout and also is very much non vintage

Previously I’ve tried fast cut compound to limited success, usually I get very shiny orange peel. I am going to try a slightly more abrasive disc on the polisher with some fast cut compound on the back to see if that can save me some sanding.

I will look into the Eagle Abrasives. It probably will need another coat if I want to “bury” the vinyl. I am going to wait to touch it again until the bridge tuners and neck screws get in, they are on the slow boat from Jakarta.

It’s pretty orange peel-y but hopefully after a long cure I will be able to sand that out

Don’t get your hopes up. It fell out of my drying rig during color and I’ve been too shy to share the dmg. This thing is coming a bit pre-relic’d.

Aye aye sir I am using all of my PPE. First can is on. Wow does it make the metallic pop!

@Hagwood @Spud you fellas online? What do you think my chances of getting a decent spray of this 2K Spraymax is in ambient temps of 60 degrees… no wind and no humidity concerns.

F hole moved with no drama :)
