Beautiful part you got yourself.

But why is it... pulsating?

 

[Rick]

Shoot I just noticed that…

Because... ITS ALIVE!!! Have you never witnessed a newborn jazzcaster breathing it's first breath!?! We must welcome this newborn guitar body into the world of the living!

All joking aside it's a beautiful part, congrats teleme! I love my jazzcaster and I hope you do to!

It is an animated gif.

@teleme01 can you post a static image instead so we don't get seasick trying to look at it

 

[teleme01]

I have to edit my pictures in order to post them, and I can only export to gif minimum 3 burst shots. If I could hold the camera steady, it would not pulsate so much or if I could figure out how to work the pictures setting.

Oh is it the file size issue? I've been having trouble with that too...

On my Mac (might be different if you're on pc, etc) I have to open the image, then click "tools" at the top of the screen, which opens a drop down menu where I can select "adjust size", and then scale the image down to a size below 1MB.

I enjoy the animated gif! In fact I have been staring at it for about an hour so far.

On Windows, you can install the free Microsoft PowerToys and that gives you the ability to right click and re-size pictures (among other things)

Windows' built in Photos app can also resize. 800x600 is often sufficient for screen viewing despite the default setting on my phone trying to take everything in 4K.

On this one I have chosen a 50/50 mix of boiled linseed oil and turpentine. The above photo is after 1 coat. I let it cure for 5 days and today I applied the 2nd coat. At some point the plan is to top with shellac. This photo is after the 2nd application of the blo. Not so special, just plain walnut

 

[ragamuffin]

Hot damn that’s purdy!

 

[teleme01]

added some red to the several coats of tru oil, going to let cure for at least a couple of days before next coats next

Wire hangers are very controversial!

 

[teleme01]

Front and back, 5th coat of tru oil laced with red pigment.

Making progress,

 

[ragamuffin]

Looks fantastic!

Thanks rag, I have an ebony on ebony, 25.5 scale 43mm nut neck on it for now. I have the pickups and harness but I don't have a control plate or neck mount. I guess I could use a pickguard... debatable

 

[Spud]

Came out great!
