Trying something new with this #telecaster before stripping the paint, by creating a “fire break” between the polyurethane finish on top and the shielding paint in the cavities by filing the top edges out. Of course you don’t aim the heat gun into the cavity but the way poly lifts and peels means you can accidentally lift the shielding as you go, hopefully this method will reduce that potential. #guitar #customguitar #telecaster #refinish #guitarmods #fender #brisbane #guitartech #luthier
