Tele Project revisited

[Drake S.]

So i've had this guitar sitting around Forever,I decided last week I was gonna kick my self in the ASS! & get some things finished.
Here is what I did with my Day:



I first Dyed the headstock, Body with Black Dye. The above pics are before shots.


After sanding back to the Grain I started to Dye both a Trans Purple.




I did a couple of Mock up photos, it still needs a light sanding & lots of Clear coat.




Enjoy I would like to thank Sully for inspiring me,Help & just being a Cool ass hell friend!

& for my next Trick My Black Star Oblivion.............Stay Tuned

looks good! Did you tape off the neck binding? Looks like you got a bit of purple on there, just behind the nut on the low E side.

[Drake S.]

I did tape everything off the vaneer on the headstock goes up to the fret board, I had a little bit get on the bindind but it all wiped off.

Wow! Well done! Love the purple and the abalone p/u surround and racing stripe. Was the floyd manufactured with that satin/brushed finish or did you do that? I like it.

[Drake S.]

Hey MIB, the bridge is a JT580LP from jackson it came with that finish,Jackson went nuts with the Chrome satin some years ago & I grabbed up a bunch of those parts I have a complete 7 string Jackson set in the same finish I'm gonna use on a Project in the near future.

Wow, looks real nice. Time well spent indeed. I'm not feeling that truss rod cover though...

[Drake S.]

I'm still undecided about it also it looked better when the guitar was a natural finish ,but now not to sure?

wet it down and get a pic or 2. That should give you the pop to simulate a cleared product. Then you can make a better assessment of the purple vs natural.
