Members chancey77 Posted March 11, 2012 Members Report Posted March 11, 2012 So here is my next major project to start while I am working on the 1951 Ford Door Panels. A Vintage Fender Tele...full on wrap and tool job! My idea is pretty wild, it may even get the cowboys to get on board with this one! Wild West scene coming on the front and back and sides of the Leather Wrap! Going to pick up the guitar from the customer tomorrow!!!!!! I have been wanting to do a wrap on mine...but you know how it goes...a mechanic's car never runs...hahahaha I make leather all day every day and never seem to hardly have time for my own plans!...Isn't just the way:) Quote

Members WScott Posted March 11, 2012 Members Report Posted March 11, 2012 Another cool project to follow along with You are on fire!! Quote
Members Cyberthrasher Posted March 11, 2012 Members Report Posted March 11, 2012 WooHoo!!! I think it might actually help the sound. Might help to mellow out that sometimes too much treble sound I hear in some Tele's. Quote hellhoundkustoms.wordpress.com www.facebook.com/hellhoundkustoms www.etsy.com/shop/HellhoundKustoms
Members Iron Pounder Posted March 11, 2012 Members Report Posted March 11, 2012 Ya it seems to me it should mellow it a bit. Quote

Members chancey77 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Members Report Posted March 11, 2012 WooHoo!!! I think it might actually help the sound. Might help to mellow out that sometimes too much treble sound I hear in some Tele's. A electric guitar is all about the pick ups anyway...and Scott has some super sick mods and ways to make that tele sound like it should...My luthier is in charge of Steven Seagal's massive blues legends guitar vault...he is my frakin' hero! He owns Albert Kings guitars and anyone you can name when it comes to blues legends he actually owns THAT guys guitar! Anyway, Scott is a miracle worker and he said he would have that Tele stripped and ready for me in 10 minuets...and I am more than welcome to come over and time him....I think I will LOLOLOL!!!!!!! It may mellow out the wood, but it really isn't going to affect anything accept natural sustain...but the is easily fixed with a volume and pick up mod. Quote

I always judge a guitar by how it sounds unplugged. I'm an amateur luthier as well, so I know that anything outside the wood I can "adjust" to my liking with ease Quote hellhoundkustoms.wordpress.com www.facebook.com/hellhoundkustoms www.etsy.com/shop/HellhoundKustoms
Members chancey77 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Members Report Posted March 12, 2012 Well, here she is in all her plainness...like Sarah Plain and Tall... but not for long!!!! I just got it and already have the top outlines done:) Quote
