Mike managed to sculpt the Tele look in quick time -- he's a case! he can make anything out of metal or wood in a heartbeat. i saw this chrome barrel-type selector switch on one of his axes, and asked, "where do you get these?" he said, "you get 'em here!" he gave me one, pic to follow in hardware phase.

so here's how the headstock turned out -- we left kind of a fat shoulder like the Merle Haggard tele. hand-sanded and cleaned 'er up with mineral spirits ... really popped the grain!

tomorrow: Wipe-On Poly! i won't use many coats, wanna keep the wood feel on the back as much as possible ... maybe an extra coat or two on the headstock.
