My first guitar builds where I built the body from scratch.\u00a0 Building a old school Butterscotch Blonde Blackguard style Telecaster with pine and one from Cedar that will have a clear natural finish…<\/p>\n

For the Blackguard I’m using Fender Blonde color, then amber\/yellow tint on top of that..<\/p>\n

Still have some sanding\/cleanup on the cedar before I start clearing coating it.<\/p>\n

It’s like this now, waiting for clear\/tinted clear
\n<\/p>\n

But it started like this…<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Here with Reranch\u00a0 Fender Blonde applied…\u00a0 This is NOT Butterscotch Blonde, it’s Blonde and actually is whiter than this pic looks.
\n<\/p>\n

Next comes various concoctions of color to get the neck tint and ‘aged’ Butterscotch to simulate 50 years of smokey bars, sun and yellowed lacquer…
\n<\/p>\n

It’s getting there,\u00a0 but I have to decide when enough is enough.\u00a0 This is pretty close to exactly what I want, I think I’m going to shoot some clear, then some LIGHTLY tinted clear.\u00a0\u00a0 Same for the neck, I’m going to do clear, then decal, then tinted lacquer and clear till it’s right.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I have some sanding and prep before I shoot clear on the cedar, but when I wipe it down it really looks pretty.\u00a0 With a nice polished clear over it, it should come out nice.<\/p>\n
