That is looking great! Where did you get your paint?

I used a company called Oxford out of Canada. I've used Stewmac in the past with good results. Used Oxford on my last build because of the color options and it turned out so well I decided to go with this brand for all my new builds.

Do chefs kiss quite a lot? I have been to many restaurants over the years and never experienced that.

You've been going to the wrong places.

Allright all the clear is on. Been doing some light sanding in-between days of spray with a sanding block and 320. Roughing it in very lightly with a sanding block and then real light by the borders to get it all flat and no shiny spots or low spots. Then I'll go through it with the 3M polishing papers. 400 grit on up. Take my time and do it by hand.

Neck is done. Body is getting there.

That's pretty good. I can still hit it with the 8000 for good measure.

Excellent job with the mary Kay

Good grief, I could never hope to get a finish like that with rattle cans. EXCEPTIONAL work and even better patience!

Ahhh thanks. I wish I had a spray booth. Couple pieces of lint in there and one of my dog's hair. Oh well. It ain't perfect but I'm happy. You can get some good results taking your time.

That was a fun build. My 59 slab board and 63 veneer are done. Couple nice teles.

These look great!

 

[sethmeister]

Yeah that came out great!

Super classy! I like these sand/desert color schemes a lot.

Thanks guys! I had so much fun building these. Really love playing them. Been listening to a lot of country and Redd Volkeart lately. I think Teles are my current favorite style guitar.
