@rikus

did check the weight but compared to the alder it is alot less in weight, but the minute you start adding the pickups and parts its picks up weight quickly

yes i place an order at Mica to order the nitro laquer.

it is Plascon WL - 6(gloss) if i remember correctly(you get a matt one as well)
was about R400 odd for 5L. and then the sanding sealler ss-16(its common to find this one in the hardware store)

but you can get from the paint suppliers as well, you can try Techipaint in cape town, they mix the stuff them self.
but i have used the plascan wl - 6 and works nicely

The last batch of WL-6 I got gave me problems - it just didn't cure properly. ☹

no need to look, there is a few offcuts at rarewoods (just like the ones i used) to make a 3 piece body

nitro is the noahs ark of paint, you can look at better stuff like 2K or even danish oil the body which i think is the best

From which I conclude that the best amp is the one with a good guitarist behind it ...

i have alot of favourite guitars, but the tele is a real workhorse, and i just love its simplicity.
