Refinishing an old Squier 51 body for a new Warmoth tele neck. 6100's boatneck. WARNING The finish in progress may be too disturbing for some viewers!

Sanded down, primed, repainted and clear coated using super duper, high end, esoteric, spray paint called Rustoleum!

Using lace as a stencil!

Front done gotta let it dry and then do some clears over the top. Then do the back as well. Then going to use drill press to make it string thru depending on what bridge I decide on. I drilled my other one for string thru and turned out great. Ordering Warmoth Tele neck for it.
