The Grandpa Project - Round I

Last year I ordered 2 sugar pine Tele bodies - one lefty and one righty - with an arts and crafts project in mind. When our oldest granddaughter was here (she was 5 - almost 6 at the time) I sat us both at our paper-covered dining room table with the bodies and a bunch of acrylic paints. She painted the lefty body for me, and I painted the righty for her. After completion of that step I applied stain to the sides and back, sprayed plenty-o-sparkly clear pearl and finished with clear gloss. Over the course of the next year I finished the guitars - in time for her 7th birthday in Aug. It was cute because she had completely forgotten that we'd done this.

The next grand is three - so we have a couple years before her turn.
