Title: I re-started work on my Pine body telecasters
Post by: Blazer on June 05, 2009, 03:32:36 PM
Well I guess you guys all remember that I started the building of two matching Pinecasters.

My intention was to use up spare parts I had lying around and to have them both in aged natural. But because of me making a HUGE mistake by routing the pickup cavities for 24 fret necks, the project was shelved in favor of the Mahogany Body tele I started to make. Today I took one of the bodies because I once again was a man with a plan.

I filled the pickup cavity and covered it with a piece of maple, I then got out the routing template for strat pickups and went to work.

The fill is clearly visible.

Maybe you can see it but the neck I'm planning to use sat on the imfamous "Pink Nightmare" before.

I'm planning to either finish it baby blue of make it into the "Rasta Frank" Signature model.

I like the blue!  I'm also a big fan of oly white or vintage cream.
