    Default Next project

    I got the p90 thingy ready for assembly and will post pics of it finished but meanwhile the next one is up for finishing is this thinline:

    I cut the pocket, F holes and bridge holes since this pic. Still a bit of woodwork with a body issue, the pickup routs and binding. I'd like to get the finish procedure staright in my head well ahead of time.
    I am toying with the idea of going for a natural kinda burnished oil finish.
    But where to start, any ideas?

    How about a Danish oil rubbed back?

    I will follow this thread with interest, as making or rebuilding a Tele is close to the top of my things to do.

    Are you building it from a kit, or just some templates and a book?

    I like the look of tele's with the sunburst finish, and with that figure, it'd look great! I also like a brilliant shine... so for me, I'd go with a sunburst nitro
