    Nah, I'm going to order some Chrome tuners from Real Tone Music next fortnight, going with all Chrome hardware, I need to order a short metal bar that sits behind the locking nut on the headstock anyway, the bar pulls the strings down so that they don't go sharp when you do up the locks on the Locking Nut, I'm also going to buy another set of Ernie Ball Strap Locks once the guitar is up and running.


    So, if I'm going with a solid Metallic Blue finish on the body, I'm guessing I'll need to get some Maple Timbermate, some Primer, and a couple of spray cans of Metallic Blue from the big green shed, oh and maybe a couple of cans of acrylic lacquer too.

    Hey Doc, sounds like a classic 80's Big Hair type axe you are about to put together.

    Can't believe Woks favourite colour is metallic blue as that sounds like a classic Ford shade rather than his beloved Holdens haha.

    Maybe Super Cheap may have a better selection of spray cans than the BGSFOS.
