help needed guys,

i am at the final stage of building my mahogany tele and i can't make up my mind on the finish.

heritage cherry

naturalplease choose your preference. if you have other ideas, do feel free to share them.

thanks as always,
dani

Heritage cherry looks the nicer out of those two imo

To me the heritage cherry one looks like a Tele infected with SG-itis, lol. I think the natural one's much nicer.

Natural, all the way.

i will be doing the finish myself. no spray equipment and no access to nitro spray cans. i just have to stick to stains and wipe-on finishes.

thanks for the suggestion anyway rushofblood!

thanks for the replies guys! keep them coming!

butterscotch ..

but of the ones listed, natural

I'd go with natural. Looks way better to me.

is the fretboard ebony? black or dark grey will look good on it too.

close. i was actually thinking of using a moses graphite neck.

I like the natural.

out of the 2, natural, but i think you could do better.

If your body is mahogany, wouldn't the quot;naturalquot; be considerably darker than that?

perhaps you could do a light blonde stain on the wood, then coat it with a a light mix of oil and shellac. So you can get a pretty durable finish that you can rub on.

A little off topic I know but, it seems everyone is using the kind of template for guitar make over display. Did you find tehm on the web, or is it something that goes around the forum?

By the way, I voted natural. Personally I would go with the traditional pickguard shape. But that only my opinion...

they have white stains! :-p

nah, dd brought up a good point, the natural would be a little darker, and i think that'd be more aesthetically pleasing to my eye.

dani, I will have to scan a pic and post it for you...it is from a 1963 Fender catalog and there is a mahogany telecaster...plain as day...it looks cool!!!
