That is cool! I'm guessing that is an overspray technique?

Welcome to TDP, looks like you are going to fit in just fine Scatter.

That looks like a fellow I work with...but I'm in Iowa and you are in Florida.

What gives?

Nice job and thanks for sharing.

That's a cool looking paint job. I too am curious to see how it was done.

Scatter Lee · January 31st, 2009, 11:15 PM

this was done really as a paint test,
with a ten year old stencil and rattle can

painting my first test build, an all oak tele

today i'm on third build, only been building guitars for one month, doing all wood myself, not as tough as i thought it would be

Hey Scatter...do you think you could make me some tele templates?

How hard was it to build your first neck?

mrothacker · March 17th, 2009, 11:35 AM

An all oak tele , holy crap , how much does that thing weigh ? I'll bet it is over 10 lbs ? BTW what kind of oak is it ? Is it native Live Oak ?

Most of Jerry's guitars were real heavy so that's okay.

templates, hmm, maybe, what kind do you have in mind

my first neck was made from an old oak antique table that was in my way, really wasnt that hard but i've been doing woodwork for many years

it's only a little over 8 lbs, made from really old table, really straight wood, oak body and neck with maple fretboard, and it dont sound bad, it was my first try at making a tele, testing the tools on hardwood before i got the good stuff
