This was my first all-nitro tone-over-tone relic project.
I had made a great Sunburst but I touched the body before it was dry, and I told myself: "-Well, this is my chance to try it, I have nothing to loose."

About 4 or 5 hours to do it, but I managed to make a cool relic. It made quite an impression at my Reverb store. Two more persons wanted a similar body, one of them even made an order.
The client, John, from the UK, asked me something I had never done, to work on an Allparts roasted maple neck. Let me tell you that it scared me a bit, after all we're talking of twice the price of a regular Hosco!
I finished by doing also the hardware and at the end it all gave birth to a beautiful Telecaster, surely one of my top 5 projects of this year.
