Looks like the wiring is going to be fun
Wow Jarrod! I gotta be honest with you, I'm not usually a big fan of black bursts, but this one looks sensational. The feathering out towards the center just looks amazing. You made the right decision here man. With the bursting front and the black back and sides - I love it!
cheers,
Gav.
Gorgeous! Just stunning!
You may not like it, but I do! I'd be flipping between a satin and high gloss finish on it though!
Mmmm.... you got me thinking now Brendan
awesome burst Jarrod, those colour look excellent, as Brendan said, that looks ready for clear coats !\\
So is that been done with your air paint gun ?
You somehow managed a double post for this thread !
That is outrageously hot. You are getting too hard on yourself Jarrod.
Na it was ragged on Wokks. I bought this for a client but forgetting she wanted all the correct "G" woods so I sourced one from else where for her and kept this myself. I'm just not really a sunburst kind of guy , I don't mind black shadow around the outside but this is a little too much burst for my personal liking but hey It may grow on me. I have done a TLA for a client the same and wondered how it would go on a bigger canvas.
I think once it has some clear on it Jarrod it will grow on you. Nice job mate, love the thick blend on the bottom front edge. How did you clean the binding, steel wool or scrape it off ?
masked it then scraped what was left. Grrrrrr horrible job , might train the wife to do those jobs as I think she wants this one.
yer I could imagine taping off the binding would have been a hard task. Good idea, give the missus the sanding and scraping jobs !

"Gone vintage Gibbo with this one. Not sure I like it now."
That burst looks wicked, I love those dark classic tones. What's the plans for the finish?
Hey bargeloobs , It'll be Acrylic but Brendans gone and thrown a spanner in the works on a matt look rather then shine so i'm really thinking now
Personally I don't think a matt would do that burst justice but ehhh, what do I know.
you may be right there
yer I agree with Bargeloobs, think a burst should have a gloss finish
Imagine a high gloss top with matt back and sides...now that would be sick!
Hey Jarrod, I'm not a big fan of bursts either, but that looks sensational. One of your trademark gloss finishes on that will look amazing.
rob
Well lets hope so Rob. I dont really no why I did a sunburst , it kind of just happend.
great result, hope it grows on you, because it looks really good
Jarrod, that looks sensational.
Yep - satin sunbursts look terrible 8-) ...

Dam Brendan now I'm thinking that way again
The SG-1 I did had the same colour burst and I did a satin finish on it. I was really pleased with how it turned out, but I reckon your ES would look good either way.
wow Stui where have you been hiding ? haven't heard from you in months !
Sorry Jarrod - must have hit my Satin phase :) .
That burst looks awesome on an ES Jarrod great job, it screams Nashville
Thanks for the kind words guys.Quote:

Very nice jarrod! Are u going to use gold hardware?
Good point Simon, I better order all that and yes it will be gold
looking a treat Jarrod, so another coat of clear to go ?
yes gold hardware will look fully sick !
Looking fantastic Jarrod. That colour job is just sensational. Gold hardware will push this baby OTT.
cheers,
Gav.
Well now really regretting telling the wife she can have this one for her three chords she can play, after the third clear coat she decides it is too dark. She wanted the center more yellow and a little less black around the edges. After a few carefully chosen words I proceeded to take the clear coats off the front and rub it back. She is now all happy again. "Wife free to good home comes with ES Guitar"

I gotta admit it looks fricken sweet with that centre brightened up, it's gonna be a show piece.
Catching a few IR rays for fast cure and will soon be ready for cut and polish to shiney shine.

Looking great Jarrod!
looks superb mate
Sensational colours... Wife should be well pleased.
Hah yeah Wokka, life is getting in the way a bit at the moment! I try and have a look in here when I get the chance, but the little man takes up a lot of my time. Still hoping to free up some time and cash soon to get another build going, but funds are a bit tight at the moment with the wife not back to full time work yet :?Quote:
