Apparently, I forgot all about the camera as I was nearing the end. That's usually my problem...I get in a hurry. Anyway..I'll give the Reader's Digest version of what went on. '
The pickguards....There was some damage to the top from the bridge removal. I filled it, sanded it and shellaced it, but didn't like the way it looked. So...I decided to make mirror image pickguards to hide it. I used a smoked acrylic which came from a cracked sun visor off a CaseIH sprayer. My granddaughter says the pickguards look like puppy dog ears.
The controls.....Just basic Telecaster stuff. Hardware and electronic items were purchased from Guitarfetish.com. Neck pickup is from a MIM tele and bridge pu is a GFS. Slightly hotter than stock, but not a screamer. Basic 3-way switch plus volume and tone.
The finish......I sanded off as much of the poly as I felt safe in doing. I didn't want to get through the top laminate layer. I sprayed about 5 coats of Zinssers Bull-Eye Amber Shellac. (I love this stuff) Then misted on about the same number of coats of Deft Satin Lacquer. The top turned out just the sheen and feel that I was looking for.
