@Woks the marks are from the grain, it surprised me when I saw them! Yeah I'll do another deep colour then I'll do 3-5 base coats, then 5 good top coats! By then the neck will be finished

Hey Pest, it's looking good buddy. One thing, your pics are huge (as in file size). If you have some image editing software, try and get them down to 1000px (longest side) and 72dpi. If everyone can do this, it will speed up viewing of the forum.
@Ads cheers mate, I'll cut the pics down next time, never thought of th being do big haha!
Hey guys, we have some pics of the neck! These pics are a few days outdated, these are the second base coat for Colourless, the third base coat for Colourless is cured and ready for another coat tonight!

Looks awesome, Callum. A real Knopfler machine!
Nice work Pest! Great colour choice.
@BG cheers mate, and how dare you call me Callum! To the Naughty Room mk2 for you!
@Ads, cheers (again) mate, I've always loved red guitars....
Wow Pest! You certainly made a huge improvement on the LP! Well done mate. You're getting better at this! Looking forward to the third...
Hey Gav, thanks for the comment! Yeah, I feel this finish is much better than the LP, but it isn't done yet!
If I keep at the rate of finishing that I have, I'll apply the last coat before March 15, so GOTM April, here I come!
well done Pest, that carmine is looking much more even after the 3rd deep coat. Keep up the good work and you will have a real contender for April GOTM. Knopfler may want to borrow it for his next gig !
No runner up status for this one Pest. Nothing less than 'Winner" required from you, No pressure but!! 8OQuote:

Looking hot, Pest. Definitely a contender for GOTM.
Nice and richly red it really looks the business now.
Hot contender for GOTM I would think Mr Pest.
Looking great Pest! Fantastic colour choice. I'm loving it. Can't wait to see the clear coats on.
cheers,
Gav.
The Pestocaster is looking great. I also reckon it's a contender for GOTM. The Carmine looks stunning!
@Gavmeister yeah, definitely no pressure here :P
@Lozza and Max cheers guys, yeah this will be a good contender in GOTM
@GavinT yeah, clear coats are almost ready for application, only a few more base coats!
@Tim cheers, and the name is Stratopester :D
this is a top effort mate, great so far!
Stratopester- love it!
Cheers guys!
@BG I already had the SratoPester name in my head before I even had the kit!
And guys, there's a big chance I'll get a custom decal made for the headstock!
StratoPester. I love it too. Pesting from the highest heights.
look forward to seeing more pics of this beast Pest, try get some up bro !
Looking excellent so far, DB would be proud of you cuz
Yer I'll throw more pics up when the light is better
Hey guys, got the decal on!
Quick note, the neck finishing will be halted for now until I can get a custom decal done, I'll still keep at the body though!
Whoops, forgot the image!

Looks great pest! Really liking that colour. Looking forward to seeing the gloss coats :)
Like the intensity of the colour. Being it should sound as well as look hot.

Looking great Pest! Love the colour now that the clear is going on. Hang on, is it clear or still the colour coats???
The neck looks great too. Is that just a clear neck kit?
Cheers,

@GavT yes it is clear.
Got the decal in the mail today, applied it and I will let the whole guitar cure until Sunday, which will be the final reveal (or sooner if you guys throw me in the naughty room :P )
