So i have been reading all the posts and have seen all the mistakes and stuffups that happen and how you guys overcome them so... i will add some more of these from my list.
BTW if anyone asks me will i ever do a painted headstock again i will do a TOWNSEND!!!!
FYI I have been given permission to use that . lol
So i put the guitar together, strung it up played around with the controls to check wiring and fitted the bridge and worked on the intonation. Silly me forgot to remove the clip on tuner and 4 days later when i had removed it it had marked the paint finish on the headstock. Fortunately it buffed out. pic attached of culprit!
NEXT. i decided to attach the string retainers, using a super fine drill bit which promptly broke denting the finish.Ouch.
Sigh. next checked over the headstock again and a piece of the paintwork has mysteriously chipped off apparently for no reason at all.
So out with the sandpaper, 350 and another resand and fill. Sigh again.
To Be Continued
