String Ferrules pressed, and holes punched.

Top in the making...again:)

I am glad I had the opportunity to re-do it, it gives me a chance to fix some things I wish I would have done better the first go around:)

Chancey lives for lace man!!

The original black one has its place, but the color change definitely suits this one a lot better.

Yep who needs pockets anyhow?????

I had a chance to make the guns better and also cut out a rider that is coming from the front as well, so all the cowboys match on the back...one dead and 2 in the gun fight.

I am glad I had an opportunity to fix a couple things that where bugging me!

Yeah, it sucks being OCD with your work sometimes. But hey, our names are worth a lot more than a little leather and time ;)

GUITAR ALL SET UP!!!!!

What is really awesome is the leather and the way I designed the bridge hole now has NO EFFECT ON THE SUSTAIN!!!! I was so relieved when we had 2 Telecastors and 2 amps and the sustain was only fraction of a second off, but that is the plastic nut that Fender put on the neck...now after I am done lacing it, the nut will be replaced with a Bone one, and we will modify the tone selector and add an orange cap.

But it is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

IT SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY BOSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no difference in My Guitar players Nocaster and this one! Sustain dies out only about 1 second before his! And it is because of the Plastic Nut that is on the stock Fender Neck...but a bone one will quickly fix that problem and we may get 3-5 seconds more sustain. The leather had NO EFFECT on the tone.

Dude, not buying the " no tone loss" The wood is a major contributor to the tone equation. Now some really hot pickups, fat strings, like .011-054, high action and we may be talkin some serious bark. However you did a kick job. Gonna have to put that on the list. Way cool.
