I’ve been working on the finish for the Custom Tele Deluxe. I’ve used Tru-oil for the neck and a red mahogany stain on the body. I’m very pleased with the way the body came out - the African walnut actually looks like mahogany. It gives the guitar a very 70s look.
This weekend I’ll be on the prowl for a good place to buy nitrocellulose. If I can get that and a spray unit from PreVal, I’ll be on my way to mixing my own lacquer. I don’t have a proper paint room at present, and I’m hoping to use this rig to spray the neck and body.
Hi:
Came across your blog when researching Telecaster Deluxes. I used to own a 73 and a 77, but sold them to my regret. Looking to either build or buy another one. Looking forward to checking out the guitar when it’s all done. What kind of neck are you using? Will it have the bullet truss?
Best,
Norm.
