    .....and in a troubling turn of events, once back in the FrankenLab for over night cogitation......this ....

    If nothing else it confirms my suspicion that the board has to come off to rectify the issue.

    I just really don't want to have to try it and funk up the work I've done on the board or the inlay.

    I don't think you'll ruin anything. You just need to get the board off and stick it back on again accurately. You can do it.

    And tell Igor to take the grin off the back off his head.

    So I couldn’t resist a mock build.



    There’s still a final polish to do, as well as probably another couple of thin clears on the back of the head stock.

    This was my first effort with rattle cans, and it took a great deal of patience and a lot of trial and error. I’m not 100% happy with the state of it. A lot of that is to do with the quality of the work, some of it with the durability of the clears. We shall see how it weathers some abuse,

    That looks really good. The fretboard and new scratchplate are great

    Cheers mate, I’m 50/50on the paint, but I’m pretty happy with how the graphics and inlays turned out. It was a first for me with both.

    That’s slick FrankenWashie! I like the idea of a themed guitar. You’ve put so much good work into this.

    Thanks DarkMark, I know a lot more about paint finishes than when I started. Like most of the stuff in the FrankenLab, it’s mostly trial and error....lots and lots of error....

    Looks awesome Franky, great work!

    Is it a satin clear you used on that? I’ve got an upcoming project that I’m hoping to keep the gloss to a minimum on and it looks like you e achieved the finish I’m after.
