The stuff is super toxic. Everything I read on this stuff included a health caution. You are not even supposed to let it touch your skin!

Ray, you are a true artist! That is gonna be one awesome Tele!

That is really beautiful looking! Gorgeous woodwork and finishing, but particularly love the tummy cut and bevel, as it reminds me a lot of an SG's.

Great work RVA but no Fender style neck plate ??? Truthfully ive never liked the Import style neck screws with washers set up.Wood gets tore up but thats just me.

Thanks Johnny! This is more than just recessed screws with washers. The neck has metal inserts that take bolts, so you can really bolt it down tight every time

Truly stunning!

Looking good, RVA! What's the weight of O'Shiny?

 

[SIx String Chef]

Even more beautiful than envisioned, Ray... Outstanding work! Going for the P90s, Minibuckers or a combo?

How long was it that it took the clearcoat to dry/cure completely?

 

[RVA]

Looking good, RVA! What's the weight of O'Shiny?

Good question. I never weight it unassembled. Will let you know tonight.

Thanks everyone for all the kind words!

The weight might be an interesting factor in how the guitar responds... aka: "Tone-Weight"
