Hi folks
i always lusted after a faded 59 LP but as funds wont stretch (!!!) my latest build is the alternative. Its based on the Bartlett plans with a few twists ( my own headstock etc) Body is white limba, neck is mahogany and the cap is flamed hard maple flitch matched rather than bookmarked. Kluson tuners and gotoh nickel hardware. 50s wiring. Tonerider Birminghams or Oil City Beano and Oil City Dynamite depending on how the guitar sounds when finished The fade was done with dyes and french polish - I’m after a rather worn, played in look but I will be clear coating the whole guitar with nitro as well. I might do a build thread on this one if anyone is interested. Anyway heres a quick mockup while I test fix some hardware.
ps - if anyone can tell me how to get the pics on the thread instead of links to imgur I’m all ears. (Sorted…..thanks

Imgur is easy on a phone
Open the picture in the imgur app, click on it again to get the picture to open on its own, click the share button and copy the Jpeg link. Back in the fretboard post, click the back document icon, paste the link and then add a space. It should appear in the post.
Not sure as I have had 4 concurrent builds going on while doing this one. I started it early this year but have only been doing it on and off
