Here's the raw thing - the guys at USACG are the business!
Then with the base coat:
that's not flash - I think I should have endeavoured to put another base coat on, I didn't and this is after the first deep colour coat
it looks great, it just doesn't match the body (why would it, it's a totally different wood)
I've sanded it back and I think I'll focus on the body for now - just putting the top coat on, it looks pretty awesome
However that'd be really useful for flipping the tremolo plate so thanks for that
The reasons against spraying (to my mind) are simple - an entire kit from Wudtone is cheaper than a can of Nitro, smells far less and is more manageable ...
So I'll be contacting Andy and figuring out how to move forward (I'm hoping the headstock kit he does for Les Pauls ;^)
Pickguardian did a great job!
You get a sense of how wudtone finish interacts with the grain.
crikey that ipod camera is dire!!
The body turned out well. I really like the contrast of the scratchplate and control plates.
I got the deep base coat to have another pop at the headstock and it worked a treat.
I realise I was too soft on the headstock on my first attempt... one wipe over and nothing more.
The second attempt I left too much on and it was uneven
this time I applied it, wiped the excess off, left it a minute or so and id it again... left it and repeated.
As a result the headstock looks the bomb - the body is solid colour with an incredible grain pattern, the headstock is semi transparent atm so the less absorbant parts of the grain will still show and it looks really dramatic
very pleased.
Looking forward to seeing it though mate, sounds cracking.
(And so is the guitar)
Here's the headstock with the deep colour coat:
and since I'm really chuffed with the body so far...
the trem had been in the garage
