Dedmans build 3 GD-1

I don't know if those materials are available in Oz plus I only have a lazer printer. I've decided to go with a less is more policy less it begin to look too busy.

I found the Mod Podge here - http://www.craftonline.com.au/shoppi...ts.asp?id=3940
I'm guessing some kind of sealant over the top should work as well.

you laser printer would easily do wazkelly's suggestion, method has been used by others here to transfer print onto timber that worked well.

however if the markers look a bit grubby and used/abused they should fit in fine with the theme

So late yesterday I glued the neck on. Was pleased to say the alignment was spot of from the factory. Today I put the tuners on and some flat clear. I also mixed up some blue glow powder and PVA to fill the side markers, seeing I had a bit left over I watered it down and painted inside the trem cavity with it when put a light black wash over it. Result is that it faintly glows blue around the trem and the side markers are very bright. So...Monday or Tuesday I'll get onto mounting the trem and wiring. :)

Oh Deddy, absolutely killing it (no pun intended) with this build. Your dark creative take on the GD is wicked!!

Very good FW. This guitar really is the part and well done. Looking forward to the hardware

nice work and those fret markers look fine

Thanks Stan, I think while there was some good suggestions offered, any more "glooming" might have sent it overboard into the tacky/cartoony/Halloween horror realm, something I try to avoid. I may use the idea of images in fretboard inlays on something else in the future however.

Looking great. I really love the cracks in the body and the headstock inset is perfect. Really looking forward to seeing this bad boy all strung up.

cheers,
Gav.

Looking great Dedman. The photo makes the body look asymmetrical, I assume that is just the angle it was taken at.
