Coppercaster

[Mike Seta]

This is Warmoth alder Tele body carved and painted to look like riveted sheets of copper. I don't have a neck as I built the body to sell.

I have always loved the look of distressed metal guitars but I'm more of a purist, so I wanted to see if I could achieve the look with just wood and paint.

The plastic pickguard is also painted to look like worn steel.

This took about 30 hours and was a lot of fun.
