Sorry, not a fan of Fiesta Red but really like what you have done on the sides & back.

Yeah, I prefer candy apple red which I should have bought instead.
After I painted her I could see the grain was not quite filled enough. So I applied some ebony timbermate over the top of the red to try and do a kind of dog hair effect. We shall see how it looks! 👍
You can always go and buy some candy apple rattle cans at Super Cheap and rely on the fiesta as an undercoat?

Not sure if I'm digging the two tone colour on the junior. Traditionally of course all the one colour. Looks a bit weird without binding to separate the two colours. Might paint the top black.
Hey Mike maybe wait and see if the colours grow on you. Sometimes I think something doesn't look right and I give it a bit of time to think over. I like the red and black contrast.

Ended up trying a burst around the edges. A little large but I'm liking it better.
Well she's finally done. Upgraded the nut, bridge and electronics, as well as a handwound pickup from Leddin Vintage Guitars. Had to widen the pickup route to fit the beast of a pickup, sounds amazing! Set up needs a bit of tweaking but all in good time. She really rocks!
