Cherry Tele......yeeeeeehaaw

[DangerousR6]

That will be one ass kicking tele! Can't wait to see the final result.
will the Cherry darken a little bit once it is finished?

Now why is everyone here working multiple projects at the same time.. I am getting confused

Thanks Marko, I don't know if the finish will darken it, it shouldn't. But the cherry will naturally darken with age. I've been leaving it in the sunlight to help speed up the aging..

I'm jones 'n to hurry up and get it done...I wanna jam...

Here's a pic of the neck so far, not much of a difference for the pics of the day I got it. But it is starting to take on a nice golden sheen, with just a hint of a shine. Got to shoot one maybe two more coats of Deft satin and finish sand with 400 and lightly buff....

I'm using Deft brand, you can get it at Wal-mart or home depot. It's cheaper at wal-mart...Even though I must say I hate everything about wal-mart..I bought mine at Home depot just for that reason....

Lookin' killer already!   :headbang1: :headbang1: :headbang1:

Well not really, looks kinda funky right now. It's gonna need a few coats then some level sanding and a light buffing....

[DangerousR6]

Got one more coat to do on the neck and then it'll be ready for final sanding when dry and a light buff.....
