  • what pickups do you use ?? i have a homemade telecaster too :D

  • @JoePickel14 The neck is a dimarzio twang king, the bridge is a seymour duncan 54. :)

  • what kind of wood do you use ?

  • @Flixkat67 Swamp ash

  • Hi Lewis, great vid, thanks for that. Love your guitar finish. I am working on a tele right now thinking about a danish oil finish too. What type of danish oil did you use (was it tinted)? How many coats did you apply? Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

  • @MrGuitarnuts Hey, it was the most basic danish oil i could find, not sure of the brand though. The trick was to add a little wood dye (a mix of yellow and light beige) to the ash and then add a coat of oil, leave the oil to dry over night. The next day lightly rub it back with fine steel wool and add more oil. Repeat this about 3-4 times until your happy! It has a great smell btw
