A really thin nitro lacquer finish (as found on all the 'old vintage guitars') naturally "sinks in" over time, and you can almost feel the woodgrain through it!

This one sank in a little too fast for our liking. The solution is simply to polish it out, but in this case, the lacquer was so thin that polishing didnt level it 100%.

But any more polishing and he might have cut through the color coat - so the decision was made to buff the whole body out - to prep it for an extra (thin) layer of lacquer.

"better safe than sorry"...

Holy #¤%@, that looks good!

Cowboy indeed! Not the lasso-swinging cow manure on his boots-kind of cowboy, mind you, but more the classy silver plated revolver-toting, flat brimmed stetson, gunslinger variety! ;-)

This is the kind of guitar I'd expect Johnny Cash to have wanted if he were to make an extra effort to impress/look good! One of my absolute favourite Shamrays indeed!

Congratulations, Paul and Maxim!

STATUS UPDATE: it was "supposed" to be done today, but maybe they meant today "evening"... as of 2 PM (when i left the shop) it was still waiting in line for its finishing touches and setup (look for pics in your email a bit later...)

The middle pickup-case will be changed for a "closed" white one (by me - when its here)so the polepieces wont be exposed anymore (thats why theyre so flat)....so from a little distance it'll look like a conventional 2 pickup Tele....I hope....

There is something not right with the string spacing on it...

Better they have time to fix it before they ship it :)

Nothing wrong with the string spacing - those brass saddles have no "notches", and i had moved one of the strings a little sideways before taking pictures (to flick away a big wood chip that was stuck to the pickup cover).

I just neglected to slide them back into position before i took the pics...

A nice surprise : when I was tweaking the Tele (I'm an awfull nitpicker...)I found out that Chernyshev made me a very special custom mid-pickup...have you ever seen this ?
Because I'll have the pup in a closed cover with flat as possible pole pieces he thought to give it a little more magnetic "ooomph" and maximize the sound (no dropouts during string bending).
Great job...b.t.w. all his pickups sound awsome ,
also the pups he made for my 55 P-Bass !

On its way to perfection (whatever that may be..)
here's its matching neckplate....still waiting for a closed pickupcover & a chrome switch-tip...
When its ready to my taste and desire I'll place some "final" pics and a review here !
For the record : its just very small things I'm working at...the guitar is an incredible piece of craftsmanship...neck plays like butter...pickups are the best...super lightweight body....

Got the missing parts....and fitted them.
Also cleaned up the inside of the F-hole...that was a bad case of not masking it up during the paint-job...put some serious time into that job -even had to make a special tool ; but this is the way I think it should be (look)visible bare wood !
Those lightweight Sperzels are really great tuners..wish they had 'm years ago....
Now where did I hide those strings.....
