So I've never really finished a body before (except black and white spray paint a few summers ago :doh![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I'd love to do a very classic telecaster. Some sort of an oil finish on swamp ash, perhaps just slightly tinted. Something with a little color. An amalgamation of the following pictures... Anybody know what might be a good oil to use, or if I'd need a mild tinting agent? I'm open to pretty much anything.
I LOVE the color of roy's tele, but I'm looking for a clearer finish.
Not as tinted orange or glossy as this showcaser
Always been fond of this tele deluxe, but i'd like a bit more tint
Perhaps like keef's (though the color is a little weird in this picture)
And p.s. ------- :laughing11:
Okay I admit it, I just wanted an excuse to use that one. He looks DEAD
*EDIT-- The more I look at it, the more I like that showcase bod. I'd still prefer something less glossy though.
