Or maybe a clear one?

clear guard would be so sick!

I agree, I don't think I've seen a clear one before, but that would be beast.

Hot.

clear guard would be awesome...also...when your putting on the oil...would you put more on the edges to give it a bit of burst look??

I put on the first layer of tung oil last night. I'm not sure you can tell that much of a difference in the pics but I will post them below just for the sake of step by step progression pics. The clear pick guard sounds like a cool idea and I looked up some and they are not that expensive. I think I am going to stick with the cream colored one for now since I like the contrast but I may pick up a clear on in the future if I want to get some variation going. I'll keep taking pictures for each of the layers but the next week or so probably won't be exciting picture wise so I may not post them. It is also probably going to be another month of so waiting for the neck, so there may be a lull in updates once I get the oil on.

Patiently awaiting coat #20 pics.

I am all about excitement. Thirty pics of the same body array like the color swatches in a paint Store. Because that's what everyone wants to see right?

Man this shit looks so fucking nice.

Nothing too exciting but here is tung oil layer 4 and this will be the final layer. It doesn't carry over well in the pictures but it has a slight glean to it, just barely shiny. I might get around to installing some of the hardware later tonight like the string ferrules and bridge. I might hold off on the bridge though since I am waiting for the neck from warmoth which may be a few more weeks.

Sweet! 4 layers is a good amount. I did about 6 on my Telemaster

I like high shine. like it's wet constantly.

I never really liked the shine. I always tend to gravitate towards matte finishes or a low level of shine. Gloss is not my friend.

I can be no friend to you then sir! GOOD DAY

NO SIR. To you a GOOD DAY!
