    Roadworn body, allparts neck '55 Tele clone

    Be gentle. Added some more aging to the body and aged the neck. I'm happy with it aside from the back of the neck aging, but I'll eventually lighten that up a bit.

    Bone nut, Klein pickups, Fralin saddles, PIO tone cap. Black guard was in my parts bins, I think it's a Fender.

    Much happier with this neck over the roadworn one.

    From a cosmetic point of view, should I clear coat the headstock some or leave it au naturale? I'm thinking the latter.

    Leave the headstock natural I love that look, but please rub some dirt or sumthin on the raw wood.

    I have a thickly clear-coated decal I've been polishing and may put that one on.

    Pics as requested:

    Replaced the decal with one shot with a heavy lacquer coat, applied, buffed, then lightly aged. I'll do a little more aging on it soon.



    Opinions?

    I'm going to refin the back of the neck and back of the headstock. Hoping the reranch amber tinted spray will closely match the front of headstock and fretboard.

    I'd like something like that. I love the feel of the Roadworn Strat. But the neck on the Tele is just too thick for me.
