Magnolia themed Telecaster jacket
Teleweezel replied to Teleweezel's topic in Clothing, Jackets, Vests and Chaps
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!

Working on a B-bender leather Esquire. Not sure what to do about the colour...when I get there

I had a lot of fun making this one. I found some thin foam at a craft store and black synthetic leather for the back of the strap. The lacing took a while but I think really adds to the strap. It's really comfortable as well. Scott

Thanks for the compliment. I really am a beginner. I started out making a guitar strap...figured I would wreck a smaller piece of leather. Then I did a pickguard and then this guitar.

My first attempt. I have lots to learn, but that's half the fun. Scott

Hi Electrathon. Yup I'm a total nubie...I am going to use this leather to practice stamping and tooling. It was free so I literally have nothing to lose...LOL. I have no idea what this leather is...it's really dry and cracks quite easily when I bend it. Oh well...I'm learning.

Thanks !!!!

I was given a piece of leather to practice on. It has been sitting around for quite a while. Is there anything I should do to it before practicing on it? Thanks Scott "Teleweezel" Manery
