I'm intrigued as to how the paint finish is on the neck... the nice long straight line up to the fretboard/binding edge

It’s done in the same paint finish up to the fretboard edge, then the edge itself is gloss clear coated. It all feels as smooth as silk. The headstock veneer was done in the same clear coat. All lovely sharp defined edges, the masking up must take ages. Rich’s attention to detail is phenomenal.

Brilliant. That looks difficult to achieve!

You know when you get an air fix kit and the box picture has brilliant painted lines on it, and you try it yourself and it looks like you did it in crayon? Yeah - that

Thanks for all the comments. It really is a credit to Rich’s work... I just paid the guy!

This is where the idea of a Pelham Blue SG came from btw : watched an Alabama Shakes gig on Sky Arts and thought “oh, hello !”
