"Ocean Child" ST1 - First build.

looking great Dennis, the colour is much more solid and consistent. Should look the goods after clear coats !

Great colour happening now Dennis. Really suits these guitars I reckon. Hope you're practicing your surf riffs. I'm watching this with interest.

this and every strat done in this colour always look great, nice

Finally back working on the guitar.
Shaping the headstock, using the bait board as a work bench, might have to change the name to "Baitcaster". The table isn't used to clean a lot of fish so at least it is useful for something.
Any way the rough shape is cut out now for the angle grinder to do the fine stuff. !!!!

Gav.

I mixed 50/50 so as not to be too complicated. The white knocks the intensity if the surfer girl..

Thanks for the reply! How many coats of 50/50 did you apply? I'm thinking of achieving a solid colour with the colour in your second coat.
