I have recently finished an Esquire build that I had every intention of keeping, It has been 3 years in the making, it's been a multitude of colours and the neck was an experimental piece for me to use new methods to check the lacquer. It's an Allparts soft V 7.25" radius with a Tusq Nut, the body is a guitar build job If I remember rightly, but it maybe a Mexican Tele(I had 4 that I was working on at the same time and I've no idea which one was which)...It's got a Dimarzio Tru-Velvet pup in there, all the hardware has also been part of my experimental Hydrochloric Acid aging...The Loom was built by Marc at Mojo pickups and has a pair of Jookys signature PIO caps in it, I do still have to attach the jack socket in it, just haven't got around to doing it. Finish was done by staining the wood initially with iron oxide before a white primer was laid down and a Crescent Bronze Copper coat with 3 tinted clear coats and a few pure clears. Checked and aged not too over the top based on a few custom shop jobbies I found online.
Base theme by DesignModo & ported to Powered by Vanilla by Chris Ireland, modified by the "theFB" team.

Or maybe the Burgundy Mist ...
Another awesome guitar Rich
Using thus as inspiration for my thinline. Might have to message you at some point for tips, particularly gently ageing nickel hardware.
How did you age your hardware? I want very mild ageing, so whatever you've done but less of it.
Currently, I've very gently scratched it up a little, polished it back up and then left a load of sweaty paw prints on it out in the garage. Wondering if I can speed things along, it doesn't take long to age nickel naturally but still...

Brilliant.

I totally get what you're saying and I think that 'Copper Pipe' sounds amazing. Only slight delay is that I'm currently working to earn the money to pay to get the body made but I won't get paid until the end of July so it will be a while..
