Well, here she is.
I used only the base coat BMW with ageing extra gloss.
The neck is Vintage Amber.
I have turned the control plate the right way up.... Don't know what I was thinking! :P

Gorgeous....
Actually looks a bit like my Columbian Gold Tele but after several colour coats.....proves that sometimes one colour coat is all it takes!!
I did'nt like how thin the cap was so I copied the 'f' hole and cut another piece which i glued inside it. It looks a bit sturdier now....used a light balsa wood.
Right, so exactly how soon will this be in my hands DB?
Mate, seriously, that is one of the sexiest Tele's I have ever seen.
Just a few more tweaks to do, Adam.Quote:

Bone nut and I am going to replace the volume pot with a blend pot and put in an Oil in Paper Cap and of course, one of my Gizmos. The gold Wilkinson tuners need to be replaced with chrome, ordering tonight.
Also I want to get some water transfer thingy and do the Pit Bull logo, was thinking along the lines of Pit Bull by Dingobass, or maybe the Pit bull experience featuring Dingobass.... nah, just messin with ya... It will be Pit Bull by DB... ;)
One of those howling dingo's in MOP will finish it off quite nicely I would have thought!!Quote:

The first thing I thought when I saw this guitar on Facebook was that it was Colombian gold. I was really surprised when I saw it was black magic woman!Quote:

But as usual the 'workaround King' has figured out how to get one coat of BMW to look like several coats of Columbian gold and then finish a guitar in 1/2 the time!
I have just completed the BMW deep colour on my SG1 and waiting a couple of days to put on my base colour coat - can you please advise which comes next the Gold highlights or the extra gloss please?
PS - my Columbian Gold with hightlights is really quite deep and rich whereas the one coat of BMW looks lovely but much lighter...

its deep coat, base coat, highlights (DB recommends one coat of highlights), then extra gloss is the last coat. Give it at least 48 hours between coats of extra gloss
Apply the next deep coat a bit thicker if you want the BMW to be darker
Highlights come next, remember to apply them across the grain! Don't finish up ragging with the grain as you might with the paint.
Many thanks Wokka - unfortunately only had enough for one coat of deep colour....so I will just have to make up with base colour coat....cheers.
Pete
Thanks Gav - I used the gold highlights on the back of my LP with Columbia Gold and it came up beautifully. Cheers.
Pete
Pete, you only got one coat of deep colour, either your axe body was very thirsty or some wudtone leaked out of the bottle, I've normally got at least 2 deep colour coats on.Quote:

I've done a body in columbian gold with gold highlights looks sensational
good luck with the base coats to get the colour darker
maybe I was a bit generous with the application and I should speak to my old mate DB and see if there is more BMW deep colour available....?
yer good idea Pete,Quote:

the deep colour will give you a darker black colour than the base coat. Hold off the base coats I'd say till you speak to DB
