Aged Bronze Powder Tele

I was going to bury this in my own thread but it’s been a huge amount of fun to do I thought I’d throw it out there. I’m working on a line of these but this is the first one ready.

Im ridiculously happy with where things are in both my life and business right now, this particular body is the cherry on top.

You’ll be glad to know that this is totally authentic greening, no dyes or tricks have been used.

Love that. I dig ambiguous aged colours on Teles.

Very nice. There’s something really special about a gold Tele.

Thanks

I think this body means so much to me because it signals the fact that I have a lot more freedom now to do more interesting pieces like this alongside what I’m already doing.

That’s beautiful work Scott, would love a Tele like that. Well done.

Amazing, your work just keeps getting better!

I’m sure it is about time the Murphy lab gave you a call, they really could learn a thing or two.

These will be available as part of my new plane so you should be able to get one in the future

Thank you, they couldn’t afford me though

Try some candy finishes over the bronze powder too...  gives a nice, totally unauthentic, aged colour tone,  and wears through interestingly.

Yip I’ve been dabbling with that too Although I still have some commissions to finish up I’ve been able to flex my creative side so much recently.

That is absolutely fabulous! Love it!

I took a few more shots but these were done in the workshop as opposed to outside

That's killer. Just don't try anything like a nicely reliced olive green 60s strat body, ok?
