I saw this beautiful body on Web specials section of the USA Custom Guitars Web site last night so I snatched it up at 7:58am this morning.
I have no idea why no one grabbed it yet, but it is exactly what I was looking for (unique grain pattern, less than 4 lbs, and 1 piece swamp ash). Tommy told me that it was lucky I called early, because he would be getting phone calls all day about this one. It's still listed on his site as body number 3.
After much research and helpful input from you all, I am going to go with:
- 1 lb cut shellac sanding sealer
- Bartley's light grain filler (thinned down a bit so it's easier to apply)
- 2 1/2 lb cut dark amber shellac (sprayed through a Pre Val unit?)
- Deft nitro gloss rattle cans
--------
Body: T style, top rout, 1 piece swamp ash, 3lb 11oz, 7/8" jack, standard T bridge, Pickups (N-M-B): T Neck--T Bridge
Neck: Heel adjust, 21 frets, 1-piece maple, heel adjust, 21 frets, 1.650" nut width, .830" c contour, 7.25-9.5" compound radius, 6105 frets, kluson, standard black dots, rolled edges, drill neck mounting holes.
Grand total for the neck and body = $509. Should arrive in 2 weeks.
