Landscape view of guitar top with white-yellow sunburst at top left gradient thru red to purple and blue at bottom, saturated and colorful

Front view Tele now with space nebula sunburst centered at bottom right, overall gradient yellow-orange through red and purple left-to-right across top, cloudy and messy with dark tendrils

Finally the guitar is ready for color! I’ll be going live on my Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/jeffzugale) in about 20 minutes, 9:30 am PT/17:30 UTC to get started. 😊 #gearsquad #mastoart #guitar #painting #telecaster @Curator

Now up to 4 coats of primer after the bondo and ding filling. Gotta let it dry for an hour or so before light sand, a couple of tiny fixes. #gearsquad #guitar #painting #telecaster #mastoart

Back of Telecaster now beautifully smooth in gray primer

Filler sanded off, soon to mask the cutouts and prime with gray primer which will show all the surface defects I missed that will need another pass. Sure glad I sanded it outside, that was dusty! #gearsquad #guitar #painting #telecaster #MastoArt

Back of Telecaster body filled and sanded smooth

Front of Telecaster body sanded back down after filling tiny cracks.

Guitar is sanded and edges rounded, sealed and filler applied - the wood has lots of little cracks along the grain, and I like a very smooth surface for Geometrons. #gearsquad #guitar #painting #fender #telecaster #MastoArt

Back of same Telecaster, also covered with wood filler
