Non pitbull les paul part 2-hammer of the gods

Well whilst waiting on things curing started a logo mock up. Decided to paint this in Hammered Gold!!! Hence Hammer of the Gods , also a nod to Led Zep autobiography / Jimmy page 1959 gold top with split coil switching, which will be part of this build hence using CUSTOM. And will leave the body Kiwi Polish Dark Tan, hence the fender inspired Original Boot Polish Body.

I just printed them on regular paper using Word. Early days yet. Regards the body that's only 2 coats in the Picture so heaps more work...

coming along well HB, looks like you got a bit more wet sanding to do on the gold paint

Early days regards paint havent sanded it yet, the paint dries slowly!!!!, Tried the Finger Nail test got days to go...

yeah no worries HB, don't rush the next coat/sanding, curing times in sunny Melbourne will be pretty long

Looking cool so far, never seen a guitar with a hammered finish before so this is pretty unique.

Doc think it was August GOTM there was a hammered paint effect on an Explorer, check it out

here you go Doc scroll down this page, to Mulldoe's entry
