My customer had this body built to 50's Telecaster specs by a Fender-licensed manufacturer. My job was to get it under a nice coat of nitro lacquer!

Filler and sanding sealer coats are finished. The surface is sanded level and prepped for top coats.

It was quickly apparent that the walnut inlay was a little squirrely around the edges. I've got a fix for that.

I've taped off a smooth curve around the walnut inlay, and will sunburst the inside edge. This will even out any inconsistencies in the compound curve.
