Tks Gav,

I've taken the horn area right back to about 30-40 mm from the edge. It's looking like a real relick, might just call it the Relick from now on. lol
It is developing that very worn vintage look. Still got a bit more work to do on the fade.

looking better each pic you post PK, it is starting to look like a vintage top for sure. Keep up the good work and get onto that classy axe rack

Gav, I am torn over the Clear.

I could go with what I know and that's clear Schellac, or
I could go with Clear Varnish(not a real fan of this though), or
I could go with Kryllic(totally unskilled with this and could Farc it up).

I suppose I could visit the gun shop and ge something more Tru...

PK this is coming along nicely and like the recent change to the burst. For the clear I'm thinking naughty oil but maybe a more satin finish would suite the vintage look?

with that vintage look, shellac would be fine, would make it look a bit like an old violin

Just thought I should add this, this deck is being layerd with small rags. No brushing, no spraying.
the only time a brush has been used is in applying the brown tinted timber-mate.

Cutting back is being done with 0000 super fine steel wool

The back of this thing is smooth like a babies bum. the front will get there too, but there is a lot of layering going on around the edges to build that brown burst effect. I say brown as it is abit darker than a tobacco burst being Walnut stain

I'm liking the clearer sections on the horns , makes the guitar look bigger and more vintage.

Looking better and better with each photo PK!

cheers,
Gav.

She's coming up real nice PK, that burst is looking sweet. So you're going with a satin clear?
