I applied the decal (from guitardecals.co.uk) and thought I'd share some learnings. The first time, i flattened the area to 1000 grit, but the decal was 'silvered', it didnt dry clear. Luckily they had sent 2 decals so, following their advice I got some MicroSet liquid, brushed it on before putting the decal down and the second time it was perfect. Will definitely be using this stuff in the future. It's had about 10 very light coats of nitro to protect it, and next I'll start burying it with thicker coats.
Like most things with guitar building there seem to be lots of different ways you can achieve the same end, people just stick to what worked for them in the past.
Now, the question is, should it have a switch ring and/or pickguard too as per the inspo below.
Serves me right for being too eager but just took a chunk out of the front. Must have knocked it with the P90 screw.
Well, decision made whether to relic it, but do you guys think I might be able to drop fill it? Any tips on doing that?
Yes drop fill.
Spray some red into the can lid and let it stand to thicken up a bit and let any bubbles disperse.
I like to use a wound string to pick up the lacquer and apply it, the windings hold the lacquer nicely.
Thanks for the guitar string trick, worked a treat!
