Today I sanded off the grain filler and applied a few cards of vinyl sealer. This is what the parts look like now.

I filled the grain on the Teenycaster neck and body today. I used the stewmac mahogany colored grain filler. I’m going to leave the neck natural color and dye the body blue. I’m going to finish the neck and body with Tung Oil.

The green filler is a powder that you mix with water and slather all over the wood.

It dries pretty quickly, and then you sand it down to remove most of it. All that’s left is little pockets inside of the grain.

So I haven’t finished my Less Paul build yet, so what better time to start another guitar kit build!

This one is a travel size Telecaster style guitar. I bought the kit from Stew Mac and this one is way nicer than my Les Paul kit. The electronics are mostly wired (the hard parts at least) and the pickups installed. I’m not gonna go crazy with the paint job on this one.

Here are some pics I stole from the stewmac website.

The body and neck are mahogany, and the fretboard is some kinda fake rosewood.

Today I sanded the body and neck. Next step is filling the grain with filler so it will be smoother.
