Hi everyone, didn't do a build diary for this guitar, it is now finished but someone wanted to see the build diary so I thought I would post one for it.
After my surface prep I started by applying the colour to the back and neck.

After the colour I got started on the black burst on the top, first step was a light coat of black.

After that had dried I darkened up the edges with a less diluted solution.

Next up I started blending the fade with a solution diluted halfway between the first two.

After a bit of work with sandpaper to even it all out more I hit it with some sealer.Attachment 10599
And started building the clear coat.

Once that was all done it was time to attach the neck. This is a set neck so I glued it up got it in place and clamped 'er down.

After about 12 hours I threw some electricals at it and then left it another 12 hours before I strung it up.

And she was all done.

Anyway cheers for reading, have a good one.
Mulldoe.
Thanks Mulldoe.
If you don't mind me asking what stain/paint did you use and whats the finish?
Its quite a nice combo
Love the black burst Mulldoe - you really did a fantastic job! This is a beautiful looking LP man. The black really compliments the spalted veneer. Any chance of a sound demo?
cheers,
Gav.
Hi Andy, I used a Feast Watson black stain, Rustoleum gloss black rattle can and cabothane gloss polyurethane rattle can.Quote:
