Telemaster build - suck on that, Warmoth

Post by colossus »

Image

Will get some better pics, as well as some in progress pics up. So, Warmoth sent me a poorly routed body and I didn't feel like sending it back. This is what became of it. Dimarzio PAF in the bridge and GFS mean 90 in the neck. I still need to wire it up and set it up, but I love the way it looks. Some better pics will show the really worn finish that was inspired by Skullservant's Telemaster build (single coat of ebony, a few coats of tru oil) and the hand brushing I did on all of the chrome bits. I"m pretty happy with how it came out. I can't wait to plug it in.

Nice pickguard! Super sexy.

What's the control setup like? Master volume with a three-way toggle for pickups?

Finish was just one thin coat of stain and 4 thin coats of tru oil. Did 2/day. I still needs to fully cure and once that happens I'll polish it up, but I want it to look pretty dull.

Control is just master volume with three way toggle for PUPs, like on the Thurston Moore/Ranaldo sigs
