Oh my god that's it.

Thanks so much! That, a mint guard and the binding will look amazing I reckon.

I do need a shell pink guitar in my life, but that'll have to wait...

A very, very wise choice sir, teal with mint plate is the dogs bllx mate, nice!
The biggest question now is, what colour grain highlights? black? silver?

I might add a touch of silver highlight... But only a touch, perhaps mix it in with the last coat of teal so there is a small amount of silvery glitter in the finish and just more in the grain. I don't want it special effect looking though!

Definitely mint guard - found a supplier of them in the Netherlands (!) and a possible one here for twenty quid or so. And if the neck is unfinished I'm giving it a matching headstock.

Can I just show my teal guitar refin? I coloured the natural grainfiller with black stain.



I don't have a silver grained pic to show.....yet.

It's always a pleasure to see this again, @Sarge ;

Dare I say that on this occasion, I'd go clear? That grain doesn't need anything. Its beautiful. Actually, scratch that I think an amber burst would look stunning.

Nah. I've played @alnico's tele and I don't think I want this to be my practice piece to achieve that kind of finish, beautiful and tactile though it is. I am good with wudtone - I get very consistent results.

If I get a cheaper, pretty ash body I'll have a crack at tung oil/tru oil etc.

I'd have to have that as a Trans-White finish in Nitro with the grain filled, like this but with the obviously different pickup config and see thru!!!!

That was my thought, but it would need block inlays.

Wudtone teal kit ordered, with silver highlights.

Also have some interesting ideas regarding hardware and scratchplate.

Was only pulling your leg, Sarge. As andyjr1515 said, it's always a pleasure!

So it arrived yesterday.

By golly it's pretty! Just need to tidy up one or two spots on the binding, sand the body to key it and it's ready. Beautiful.
