G'day everyone I guess I will get this month started with my LP-1SS. This one I went for a black burst/fade on the top with a black back and neck, and polished it up to an ultra high gloss. I was a bit worried about how the spalted top would go with the black fade but I am overall very happy with the results. Anyway, not sure what else to say about this one so less talk more photos.




Cheers, Mulldoe

nice build Mulldoe nice gloss. I feel the stain is too dark and hiding too much of that spalty goodness but you got a nice finish. You didn't think about shaping the headstock ?
