superflybass · #1 04-04-2007, 08:16 PM

so my first build was a crummy stienburger copy it was more something to do for a couple weekend's with some parts acouple of years ago

well I had some more parts laying around and saw a body I had to have so here is the first peek into my 2nd build

here is the tele body from a photo in the for sale section

and here is some in progress photos ::

so what do you think so far ??

what should I do with the pickguard color wise?
how about the back ?
the finish is going to be a rubbed matte finish ?

I like it. That top is screeming for gloss.

not thick poly, though...french polish...or a thin laquer...that way it will age nicely into that awesome pickguard.

I am not a big fan of gloss I was was going to do matte poly

should I keep the pickguard natural or dye it some color

what about the back ? I was thinking more of the green or a trans white dye ?

in that case, why not do a wipe-on poly.?

that pickguard is sweet...do not dye it, please, don't dye it..

and the back...leave it natural, too....very classy!

Very nice. The black accents work really well with the maple.

very nice and original.

not my taste, but its nice to see something different

cervusflies · #20 04-24-2007, 06:53 AM

You chose a shape that doesn't get seen alot and realy made a unique beast! I like the green finish and the neck looks really sweet, too. So how does it sound/feel?
