Hey mate did you use aerosol cans to do the clear? I always get this issue with cans vs a gun.

Thanks for that. I've been pulling my hair out thinking i had this font on one of my computers but clearly i don't haha
Fantastic build mate
Question: Whats the font called that you used for the 'Gee Gee'
No you don’t want to polish the matte finish. It will become shiny if you do.
Looks amazing. Great job
Nailed it. I want to build one now
Also make sure you haven’t got the wires on the output jack around the wrong way.
Welcome mate
Sounds like a solid foundation for a great build
You definitely want to leave it a month minimum. I’ve used that exact brand once before and even after a month the paint was still quite gummy. Also don’t put it in the sun to accelerate the drying....
Could do Esquire style wiring?
Im really liking the colour. These are great kits.
Usually putting them in the freezer first helps. That’s providing the replacement ones aren’t dramatically larger than the kit ones. Do you have some calipers to compare sizes ?
Nailed it 👌🏻
Looks the goods mate ! Good work farming out the buffing, I hated buffing my ES
Coming up great 👍🏻
I have absolutely no need for a bass but that jazz bass is calling my name
The paua dots look fantastic. I’ve got some sitting here for my es-1 build but haven’t got around to it, Cheers for the inspiration 👍🏻
How are you planning on applying it? As in spray can or do you have access to spray equipment?
How I’ve done it in the past: Mix up your desired clear coat/binder and then add around 20% of white...
Take note that the holes will have remnants of the multiple layers of paint that you applied to the body so they will definitely need clearing out.

This guy has some great videos, I can't remember which video it is but he has a pretty cool home made fret slotting jig in one of them.
This is looking really nice. I would not have the patience for DT.

Looks great 👍🏻
This is going to be really cool. I’ve actually been thinking about changing my first one too. Good luck with it all mate 👍🏻
Haha my wife hasn’t seen any of my kit builds yet 😂
