Please. No commercial stuff on the forum (-;
Gil how does it feel to build those Leo creations again...? Not feeling the urge to apply cherry pore filler on this one?![]()
I don't post this because it's boring to see the same type of build again and again... no point there.
There are always a few of Leo's creations around in various build stages and they will probably still be here long after I'm done with the others...
Currently doing a 1951 Nocaster and 1952 Tele builds. I don't post this because it's boring to see the same type of build again and again... no point there.

Gil, What wood did you use for the neck on the left?
So are you saying you spray the yellow blond color, then spray the sealer on blackguards?
It looks like the white is closer to the wood on the 51 than on the 52.
Sure. That's the historically (and only) correct way to do this.
As if it's not enough that original early 50's Fender blond is a very tricky finish... they had to change the materials and application methods every year between 1950 and 1955 (-;
There's a certain hue and depth to the old blonds that can only be duplicated with the right materials and application schedule.
Here's the 1951 Nocaster

Can you tell any difference?
You use that little compressor to spray guitars? I tried to use a similar one once and it just didn't cut it. What's the secret Gil?
Can you tell any difference?
Besides the wiring channel and the crooked ferrule hole?
