this arrived today!
mahogany Thinline tele routed for P90 @ neck and T @ bridge with only a volume control. the neck is Mahogany too with an ebony board... hardware wise i want brass bridge and saddles but chrome knobs and klusons (ala Andy Summers tele) and it has a nice parchment scratchplate...
Finish wise is the scarier bit as this is the first warmoth i have done ALL on my own so tell me where i'm going wrong
I've died the body and neck with water based wood dye, i will sand it back and do a second coat then sand it back putting more effor on the parts that would get "worn" then the body i will finish in pure tung oil i did want to do the neck in pure tung but im a bit scared the finish might not be hard ebnough so i have bought some poly to do a hard finish if needs be...
is there any benefit/negatives to tung finishing the neck and then giving a few thin coats of poly? would that be warranty safe then?
any ideas or feedback let me know
