Default Two recent Builds

Finished these up in the last month. Model t90 both in alder, a thinline and the Surf Green is chambered. Always fun.

Thanks! Those are my last two guitars of around seventy. Going to enjoy not spraying lacquer and no deadlines.

Hey Stephen, I've always admired your builds. I can't see your pics though for some reason.

Thanks Dru, there's something about linking to Facebook images that's inconsistent. I've renewed the links.

That worked.

Wow! Just amazing builds, just like all your other guitars.

These are so beautiful, your work looks flawless, and the photos are great! I've been wanting to put a P90 in a Tele, where can I buy pickguards with a P90 cutout? Or do you make your own?

Also, what products are you using for your body finishes, especially the painted one? Let me know if you've given this information in other threads and I'll search for them.

Thanks!

Thanks SCVJ! The pickguards on those two instruments are anodized aluminum and custom made for me but when I use acetate or plastic pickguards I order from Warmoth. They are still custom cut but I can choose the configuration and material.

My finishes are always nitrocellulose lacquer, as thin as possible.

Thanks! On the alder thinline, there's no stain on the body or neck. The neck is a highly flamed, torrified maple. The flamed maple darkens more than unfigured torrified maple for some reason and absorbs lacquer in an odd way.

The p90 & tele bridge are a matched set built for my guitars by (the best kept secret in the pickup world) David Budz who's built pickups for all my guitars.
