Body close up of my homemade sorta-Telecaster. The shape doesn't sit on the knee well but she sounds like a Telecaster! Slight buzz on the 3rd fret that the single-action truss rod can't quite fix but that's minor. I'll just re-level that fret or find a better Tele neck.

Sooo nice

Richey, the finish is 3 or 4 coats of medium walnut Danish oil to give it a better color than the pale greenish yellow of the poplar I used.  Once that had a few days to dry I topcoated with General Finishes' Arm-R-Seal clear.  Brushed it on with foam brushes and steel wooled between coats.  Up close there are some visible imperfections in the topcoat but it still works.  Thanks!

That's awesome. Love it! What is the finish on the body?
