Telecaster Lake Placid Blue

[experience]

Hi there from France,
There it is my new project, a telecaster in Lake Placid blue finish :
Warmoth Flame Maple Neck with Ebony touch Stainless frets 6105 and Alder body.
I'll do a nitro lacquer finish with LPB tint
it's a partcaster for my little daughter (she likes blue )

an it's sounds like that :

Welcome to the board, that finish came out great!  :hello2:

You did a great job!  It looks wonderful.  Is it worth the effort to do your own finish?  :laughing7:

That's slick.  Good job.

Thanks to all  :headbang:

It was a fudge*** job to do this Lake Placid Blue tint, but the result is wonderful under the sunlights

Warmoth pieces are great and the flamed neck is wonderful and very easy to play !

Wow, nice post! Looks like a fantastic paint job. Painting it yourself definitely makes you love it more, doesn't it?

Awesome! But this one had to be a Esquire!

That finish is great.  Good Daddy, lucky daughter.

That is an excellent job!  I do have one ever so small bit of constructive criticism.  For a Warmoth and DIY finish, it doesn't seem custom enough.  The gorgeous flame in the neck and most likely a non-Fender fretboard radius help it stand out.

I do not have an esquire but I have a nocaster like the first partcaster I've done last year (but it's not warmoth parts, it's a body and a neck from B Hefner) :

The pattern in that Swamp Ash was amazing.  I would've shelved that for a non-solid fihish and ordered another body.
