Those knobs turned out awesome, the control cavity cover looks exactly like the one I made on my first guitar build and it was a Tele too. That's a nice guitar too keep up the good work.
I'm glad you did this! It does look good. It's driving me crazy though, knowing the guitar is essentially *finished* yet not quite ready. Please tell me at least you don't actually leave it in the garage all the time. Inside the house must be safer.
It may be the camera perspective, but the cactus doesn't seem to be centered perfectly in the resin. If so, the center should be re-established. You might see if you can cut a young green cholla stem and flatten the skeleton to make some lattice shaped accents. Another method might be an alcohol/glycerin soak + heat treatment and then drying it with acetone. I'd do it but we don't have much growing around here.
Freedom_Guitar OMG indeed. I was holding my breath in every freaking step. My godness sir - if my metalwork teacher would have seen your working methods - he most certainly would have kicked your buttocks out of the workshop. 😲 gees wees baby please!!! 😬
