Ya Walnut is a glorious piece of wood for a tele! But I am only using it for its tone. The guitar will be entirely wrapped in leather. I have gotten so many comments about people thinking that leather guitars only ever have a western theme even though my last one is NITHING LIKE ANY ITHER TELE EVER MADE but ya it was still Wild West themed; so for these we are going far outside the box on that so I can continue to smash the traditional boundaries. I think everyone will be surprised:) I have about 50 ideas so I am narrowing it down to so what is next:)

Yes I used a high grade contact cement...and let me tell ya it was very tricky!!!! I had to take it off 1 time and I used very worried that it would stretch the leather!Next time I will glue it down in sections after I have lined it up perfect....it was very stressful! -
Ok well... Basically get a rubber glove on, put on a sock over your hand, tip the jar to get light amounts of dye that you can control, and start giving the leather a LIGHT rub with your hand flat and ridged. It will start to skip over the areas that you have tooled / used the knife and beveler on. It will get in there a little, but it is like a natural fade. So it pops! I call it Negative Antique. It colors everything EXCEPT the cut lines. Hence my term NEGATIVE ANTIQUE.

I know raight! hahahaha Hey i used the M885 around the border for the light and texture...it is all about my sock treatment while dying so it skips over the areas that are depressed, backgrounded and cut/beveled.
-
I just used my rectangle backgrounder M885 I cleared it but eventually it will get darker. So the bleed over of my dye process in he coat tails isn't a huge deal. The weather and sun will darken it over time naturally. -
OK so here is the latest seat...a simple ND Fighting Irish Seat, he wanted it to look like a football, so here it is:) And some money shots of the bike for ya:)
