Black and Silver Ceruse Tele Custom Assembly

What an amazing project!!! This has to be one of my favorite all time guitars I've ever worked on or assembled. 

I love working with ash because of the two very different types of wood grain: Very hard and dense vs. soft and porous. The different types allow for these kinds of finishes and believe me when I say I'm going to be trying out a lot of different combinations!

Here's the links to the products I used:

The brushes and sponges I used in the video were bought at dollar tree, anything cheap you can get that can just be thrown away. They were really hard to clean.

I also recommend using cotton cloth like very used, old t-shirts.
