I am nervous now Dave. I have ordered the same three colours that Big D used in his video...orange, red and yellow from the bloke at D Bay. They should arrive here early next week.Originally Posted by Dave Sloan
I am nervous now that my skills have to be up to the mark with this build....wow.
What really scares me is sanding to prepare....and then the colour sanding on the thin veneer....0.6 mm is seriously thin.
Wow wow wow. Maybe a very light sand before the dyes at 400 grit...and an extremely light sand at 400 grit again to suck the colour out.
I just hope there is no hidden glue spots and that the veneer is a fat one.
The back and sides of the body pose an interesting choice for me. Go red on the back and sides????? A light brown colour on the sides and a darker back??? Back of the neck in a natural or light brown colour??? The headstock will get a mini nuclear burst....maybe...another Veneer.....wow.
Maybe a yellow side....red back and red neck...burst veneer on headstock?????
You know it would have been so easy for me to just do my norm....natural oils and waxes. But I think the shape of the guitar and the veneers are asking for a bigger effort from me.
The body and the dyes should arrive next week.....nice nice nice.
P.S. The three bottles shipped today...should be here Monday.
