3 coats into TOing and all is looking good.
Question. How many coats do you seasoned TO'ers do? And do you cut an polish afterward? Ive got access to a buffing wheel

so nice!
looking so nice! love the look of this one, so fresh
looking very slick Shoey, don't rush the TO coats, one per 24 hours, needs to cure.
Depends how thick you are applying it, thin coats always the best. I'd see how it looks after 5 coats, maybe glossy enough. Let it cure for a week before you do any polishing by all means give it a polish on the buffer wheel.
Try and make the last coat thin and hold it up to the light looking for any streaks
Make sure the TO is thick enough to C&P too. It's a lot thinner than you think and easy to rub through to the stain.
Looks fresh as someone above said ^
What would make it REALLY pop (I think) would be some electric blue fret markers. That'd be rad.
Thanks guys. Been sure to leave 24 hrs between coats.
Hmm blue fret markers you say. I like that idea. I'm looking at the black gotoh tuners, black bridge, black nut, pick guard etc etc but white pickups/knobs.
So here it is. I need to get a kink out of the first 3 frets as there's some fret buzz (the truss rod isn't playing ball). Have a $3 black pick guard coming from china but might not be here for some time. Plays ok for a $150 guitar, I'm happy.
