Nowadays I'm trying to apply a french polishing technique but I can't spare enough time for my build. But it is going on :) and I hope it will finish soon. :)

I'm applying the 20th french polish layer now. Because I had done a lot of mistakes in the early phases. I didn't noticed them since the french polishing. :) Anyhow it is going well now.
Well my friends, I'll keep posting here when I get a result. But excuse me for not working too hard on my project. :)

By the way, the drink is Turkish Raki . I highly recommend it ;)
Take care...

The Strat is looking great so far, can't wait to see it finished.
The colour is looking amazing. Never knew you could add dye to Shellac, until now! Might be something to try on a future build.
cheers,
Gav.
Thanks Nomis, I also can't wait to see it finished and played :) But it's so slow for me.Quote:

I didn't want to order them abroad. I'm sure there are lots of ways (and most of them are preferably-easy-to-do I guess) to finish a guitar. But this way is way too challenging and enjoyable.Quote:
