sounds good Dedman, any pics of the decal ? presume it's Wonderboy logo ?

[Dedman]

It's a waterslide from Decalpaper. I also got a bunch of my Dedman logo's done and the graphics for my scratch build I hope to start soon (they are fairly complex and secret for now ) but my 27 yr old nephew said "Thats gonna be the F***kin most bad ass guitar ever" when he saw them in photoshop

cool, the logo looks great Dedman

look forward to your scratch build

Top coats of clear are on, had one small run that refused to be sanded out so I had to dig in and sand it right back about the size of 5cent piece, broke out the air brush and touched it up, saved the day! Not overly happy with the decals on seeing them in bright daylight. Not quite black and not overly sharp. Lesson learned. Will get them screen printed or laser cut in future.
Will leave this to harden over the weekend, sand cut and polish on Monday hopefully, wire up on Tuesday if the switch arrives on time.

1000 w&D followed by 1200 followed by 2000 then cut and polish then polish. Hopefully the switch turns up tomorrow I can wire it up, put the nut in and string it. Then comes the setting up and intonation :P
