So to make a long story short, I finally completed the Rosewood Telecaster. I'll explain how I did it while posting pictures of my work.
First off, here's the body after routing and shaping. I got it nice and sanded down.
Next I used Z-poxy to fill the grain. This really helped one place on the back that had a hallow place in it.
Then I sanded down the Z-poxy. Sidenote: It really sands down nicely.
Then I put on the Tru Oil.
After sanding and buffing I had this:
Next, it was time to assemble the guitar.
I had to use a different bridge pickup than I would have liked, but I will change this one out later.
Here's the shot of the back.
Overall not too bad. There's a couple of places that I could have done better. I am going to change the one pickup out when I have the chance/money. Oh, I also need a strap as I have locking tuners. So it's playable, but not completely done yet. But I guess it's close enough for jazz.
I look at life a bit differently, and like to post my weird thoughts. I like musicial instrument repair and woodworking. For trying to live a somewhat normal life, a lot of weird things happen to me. Instead of putting up with it, I post about it in this blog.
