Chambered Walnut Telecaster

[Spud]

Got the Lollar Charlie Christian and B.S. pickups today.
For the neck pickup I am going to get a piece of Walnut or Wenge (since the neck will be Wenge) from Bell Forest and make a pickup ring to "hide" only the pickup cavity.

After the 3-4 layer I start to question not having Warmoth do the work. Then the sanding and applying more coats, around the 6th & 7th coat I start to see it all come together. Still I think if I do another one I'll splurge and have Warmoth finish it like they did on my VIP and Chambered Swamp Ash Strat.

You will continue to do the work and you will enjoy the process dammit!
