new refin day! Aka third time lucky

The last incarnation is absolutely sick. Looks very professional to me. Nice work and some great figuring on the neck to boot!

Love the look.
Those tuners look brilliant.

Yep, definitely the blue is the one to keep. Very handsome guitar & that neck looks great.

Looks cool!

I agree. It finally morphed into the better looker. 
Great job

That’s a beaut! Where did you get that neck?

I've had it kicking around for ages; I *think* it's a Hosco. It came covered in really thick tinted poly, but that gone now and it sports a light nitro with a darker tint on the headstock face.

I also refinished this, I'll post pics when its put back together. I went for 'dark cola' which is sort of a metallic oxblood. Looks much better too (and is also it's third incarnation)

The blue is by far the best - always my favourite type of colour for a Tele other than white blonde. The subtle flame in the neck is beautiful too.

I remember you posting pictures of that before. I absolutely love it, I think it's one of the coolest-looking guitars I've ever seen

Thats very kind, thanks! It needs a real Bigsby when funds allow. The new darker colour makes the binding stand out more and contrasts nicely against the natural back and sides, I'll try and get it re-assembled and post some pics this week
