Nitro will not adhere properly to modern polyurethane finishes, waxes or other varnishes so it is really important to remove all traces of existing finishes first.
We’ve sanded off the modern factory-applied polyurethane finish back to bare wood and we are going to use a vintage amber nitrocellulose treatment to provide that authentic 1970s look before relic’ing the entire neck. The neck we are using here is a standard 1-piece (21-fret) maple neck salvaged from a used guitar.

But, after completion of the first replica I thought it might be fun to build another one (No. 1) was built a few years ago, it’s owned by me and is still played every day. The first Francis Rossi Live Aid Telecaster (No. Click Home on the main menu to find out more on the background and history of this guitar and how Status Quo opened Live Aid at precisely 12:00 noon on July 13, 1985. So, here we go again with build number three of the iconic Francis Rossi Live Aid Telecaster! This will be the third build of ‘old green’ exactly as configured around the time of Live Aid back in 1985. Scroll down to follow the build (most recent posts are last)
