P.S. Toronado
All opinions are welcome, thats why I asked

So now for a parts list

Vintage tuners (the ones on the MIM neck will work for now).
complete bridge assembly (vintage style 3 brass etc...)
Black or aged white guard
Pickups
complete 3 way control assembly
Best output jack and mounting I can find (I hate loose output jacks) !
I have a killer case, way to modern, will need another tweed !

For pickups, I have these in my AVRI 52 Tele:

I put one of these in my Squier "Esquire":

Do you suppose i could use the "stew-mac" nitro in a can amber tint over the satin finish on that MIM neck ???

I might be able to get a decent finish with something that simple, Maybe.

You mean this stuff?

http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Finishing_s ... cquer.html

I don't know. This is what the instructions say:

"Apply these tinted lacquers to smooth bare wood, sanded base coats of paste wood filler, ColorTone Sanding Sealer, or ColorTone Wood Stains. ColorTone Tinted Aerosols require clear lacquer topcoats over them to build a protective coating and to obtain a full gloss finish."

I don't know how lacquer reacts to polyester/polyurethane finishes.

Nitro on top of poly will work fine. I have done it, and it's the same on Fender Vintage RI, Nitro over Poly. :idea:
