Snort, giggle "Why would they make clear that wasn't glossy?"
He had a job...someone thought "I'll employ this guy" I'm not sure which one deserved the biggest flogging. :mad:
Sounds like a typical trip to the BGSFOS.....
a quick update. I've relic-ed the trem , basically sanded most of the black off then dropped in some hot salty water for a bit. The alloy bits I hit with a bit of brown paint. Weird thing is the body of the trem was just steel with paint over it (possibly powder coat but I don't think so, interesting spelling of Rose too :P ), but the trem arm had chrome under it, REAL chrome with copper under it!)
I've made the control knobs from vintage Winchester shotgun shells I think a 9mm will fit the switch knob
Did some more ageing on the body, gouged a few cracks into it and some more layers of wash.
Waiting for humbucker rings to arrive, age them, and construction can almost start :)

the dark shiny patch is still wet from more grime layering
