Sorry to hear about the shoulder. Been there, done that! Hope your recovery goes smoothly.
Be sure and DO your physio exercises! You don't want frozen shoulder on top your original problem. (don't ask me how I know :o)

All the best,
Mick

Hope the shoulder mends ASAP, Trevor.

Thanks McCreed and Simon. Yes, I will do the physio. I have had frozen shoulder before and therefore know I do not want it again.

I was not sure about how to relic the paint job of this guitar, either:
1. spray the 4 layers of paint and then sand back to reveal the different layers, or
2. mask where I do not want the paint and then paint, re-mask for the next layer etc.

I decided with the second method, for the main parts, as I thought that would produce a rougher edge between the paint layers rather than a smoother edge. And a bit of method 1 for the smaller parts.

I have sprayed 4 layers of MTN-94 paint from rattle cans - black, white, coffee brown, and pearl grey.

FWIW, a nice thing about a reliced guitar is that there was no stress about getting a perfect finish, and no stress about handling the guitar to prevent any dings and scratches.:o

Final relic job.

Noice. Looking good

Thanks vh2580.:)

Best wishes for recovery!

Your weather must be a lot better than ours. (Vancouver Island Canada). Got a rare snowstorm here - still spraying in the garage at -6 c.

Perth is 35 degrees C today!

I added a Cricut cut logo to the headstock and a sticker to the body. (It must have been a bad omen as I have since contracted Covid:(

I have also added a few layers of clear over the top. Sanded smooth only upto 1200 g. I'm not going to do any polishing.
