Hi guys, quick update as I've been busy ordering some stuff and getting on with neck & body finishes...
Neck: see the photo below. I've been applying TruOil, up to about 5 coats now which I think will do. It's come up a treat and really shows up the wood. Happy with it. You'll also notice a bit of a PRS'eque headstock going on... All good.
Body: per photos you're looking at Wudtone Carmine Gypsy. One round of deep colour coat and one round of base Coat. Leaving to dry this week then will do another Base coat perhaps Thursday or Friday. I'm thinking 4-5 rounds of Base coat will do the trick but will see how it looks. No rush...
Also the advice on the latex masking fluid was spot on so thanks for that. I've coated the bindings before painting/staining and it comes off with a bit of elbow grease with a pencil eraser/ cloth. Will give the binding all a proper clean up once all the rounds of colour are done. But a top tip. Thanks...
