I forgot about blogging. The guitar is finished, and I have some professional studio pictures to show off. I never took any pictures of the spray finishing, so nothing to share there. Once the guitar was sprayed, I did the fret dressing. I use an assortment of tools to level out the tops of the frets , so that all of them are perfectly in line with each other. Once that is done, I crow each fret back into a rounded shape, then sand and buff each one of them out. When I was done with that, I buffed the guitar out to a high shine, and did the final assembly. The electronics took a lot of planning. I built the guitar to hold a 3 was Telecaster style switch. However, I went one better. I used the 4 way mod switch. I have the extra position that puts both pickups in series with each other. I can't think of anyone else who has done this combination. Each pickup has a coil tap, and the tone pot does a phase reversal.
So now the guitar is done. Following is some of the pictures I had done. I am selling the guitar for $3850. It has been described by others, as being a rival of a PRS Private stock, as far as the quality and playability. The first two pictures are a before and after of what the frets look like, wen being dressed.
