Teleweezel

The jacket has been dyed and the top is laced.

I was in New Orleans and got inspired to make a Magnolia themed jacket for a Telecaster. I have an alligator print for the back and sides. Fun project so far!

Three coats of the Eco-Flo Cova white paint. This is just the first coat of black on the strap. I will put a couple coats of Super Sheen on once everything is dry.

This is my Dad's Nashville Tele. He liked black bears so I thought it was fitting to put the bear claws on the strap. Now I just have to lace the strap.

What background colour do you suggest?

The neck is maple. I am sorta toying with using all kinds of bright colours but I don't want it to end up looking cartoon-ish.

I am working a guitar jacket for a Telecaster. I still have a lot of tooling to do, but I would really appreciate your suggestions on what colour combination to use to finish the project off. Thanks Scott

YinTx, Yes it's a guitar strap. I haven't punched the holes in it yet. I going to wait until Christmas. That way the strap will be the exact length my Mom wants it. Scott

My Dad passed away last year. I made this to put on his Telecaster. I am going to make a matching strap with his name on it next.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. As for the tone. No the leather didn't change it all.

Thanks Colt!

Lots of fun to make...and now play !!!

Done !
