Outstanding thread. I have been wanting to build a Waylon inspired guitar for a while now.

Quick question - about how much lace do you need for a tele?

About 30 meters

I have been wanting to try this fro a very long time, but wasn't quit sure how to go about it. I am going to try this for sure.

Thanks for the advise.

So it looks like you did your tooling AFTER gluing the leather to the body. I'm assuming this was done so the pieces wouldn't warp?

Would you suggest doing it this way if one were planning to cover the entire piece in floral tooling? Tool after attaching the leather to the body or before?

Thanks!

Thank you so much for sharing.  I was just asked today to make a leather guitar cover for a friend.  I am looking for help.  Would you happen to know if there are any tooling patterns available for this?  I would love to find one.
