Well done Depicted Minds. Knew you were on a winner there.
Thanks for the mention and the feedback for mine too guys. It was great fun and a learning experience.
Main thing I learnt...."Patience, young Skywalker"
So, any tips on how to get rid of that glue line without sanding through the veneer or scratching the hell out of the top?

A brilliant effort to everyone, who knows but you the time and effort that goes on in creating all the masterpieces that are on this site.
What impresses me the most is the diversity of the visions that you guys have and the determination in fulfilling those visions no matter what.
Sure not all may like them but what is important is THAT YOU DO. Its not about skill but vision and creativity.
JOB WELL DONE TO ALL.

Well said Nitro. I'm continually impressed by the creativity and thinking that goes into these builds, and the detail and care taken in the finishing.

Great effort ILR and glue lines are hard to get rid of without causing more damage. In the prep stage 'Goof Off' may have done the trick but now it's all shiny & finished you could risk refinishing the whole top. Whatever attempt to fix it will require more top coats and that begs the question as to where do you stop? Maybe a thin black line over the white bit would not stand out as much and decal transfer paper might be the only thing you could use to get it to stay in place or you could simply leave as is as it looks pretty good all over.

Well done to Depicted & Mayhem plus all other entrants. Another tough month and the quality is only getting better each month.

@ depictedminds Just thought I would say congratulations, your guitar build turned out awesome.

I just had a listen to the demo you uploaded to soundcloud, the guitar sounds really good, and there's nothing wrong at all with your playing at all, you're way better than I am, and I'm still learning, keep at it.
