Santa Claus in the brown suite just dropped this off.  Going with a pearl white translucent finish on the body.  Heading to the work area to start.


.....and so it begins

Very nice, see through pearl-white should look great on that. Good luck on it, can't wait to see the results.    :icon_thumright:
 
That has a beautiful grain pattern. I agree a translucent pearl white finish will be super on that. :icon_thumright:
 
Digging with the search engine, can't find any updates on this. Did it get pearl paint? I am attacking a similar project and curious about all things sprayed pearl.

Love the finish, great looking tele, but the heel ended up a little wonky looking.... :icon_scratch:
 
Cool, not what I am thinking of doing but I do like that finish, Thanks for posting it up.

I have this brain malfunction that wants me to take the Mary Kaye rear route Strat that I started and do a ghost pearl in the white. Hopefully do some test boards on that tomorrow if the weather remembers that we are in SoCal and not Chicago. I was also hallucinating about adding a very, very slight pink tint to the white ( Mary Kaye meets May Kay ) LOL.  It is a nice piece of swamp ash I got from Canada and has a good pattern which i grain filled with rosewood StewM filler, so it is already leaning to a slight pink hue in places. Warmoth roasted maple neck sitting here waiting for me to do my part of this collaboration. Took as long to get a hunk of wood from the lumberyard as it did a full custom neck from W. I think it got stuck in customs, probably couldn't figure out what it was. Doug has already provided the neck plate (awsum as usual) and all the other gold bling is piled here waiting. Just not getting in a hurry on the finish, it could go evil real easy especially when I get bright ideas. Thanks again Rauchman !
