That turned out really good!

This is an 16 part video. I was interested to see how he was going to get the final finish. It looks like it's a nitro finish he spraying on there. I'm sure it is because he's trying to replicate a 1959. He probably used all of the original type of materials, like the hide glue and such. Similar to what a friend of mine does.

This thing turned out fantastic!

I'm thinking he's using a reference book called beauty of the Burst. Something like that. A friend of mine recommended that to me.

I would love to go back to 2002 and get a Les Paul Jr with the single p90 .

I regained possession of this guitar. It's a 2015 HSS telecaster modern player. Made in China..

You can't tell from the picture but this has the most beautiful finish on it. It's a pine body with a charcoal or almost black stained wood and a clear finish. So you can see the wood grain through it. It's translucent.

Is taking a few little dings being at my dad's shop for a long time. When I sold it to my dad it was in really good shape. It's not bad now but damn I wish they would have kept it in the case.

I'm going to clean it up a little bit. Polish the frets and put some new strings on it. Get a new pic guard. Maybe some new knobs.

I was surprised what these are going for now. I'm not sure what they actually sell for, but I see him for sale all over the place for even more than 600 bucks. It's a good guitar.

It's a telecaster modern players Plus.

I just checked. The tone control does not have an indent in it.

Here's a picture of the headstock serial number. I looked it up earlier when I was at work. On the fender serial number lookup site if you type that number and you'll get the exact guitar that this is with all the specifications.

I'm not sure about that specific guitar, but the one I have has some really great reviews. I'm sure that one's a great guitar as well.

I'm kind of mad that this one has some little dings on the finish. When I got it it was flawless. I posted pictures a long time ago.

I've always wanted a straight up telecaster though. This isn't a straight up telecaster but this is a pretty cool guitar.

For some reason I can't get all the specs to paste. Anyway. It's a modern player Plus. It's got modern player plus pickups. A strat, a, telie and whatever in the bridge.

Polished the frets, hardware, and cleaned the tele up quite a bit. Putting the new strings on now
