    Lots of marks, dings, and the lacquer is on too thin. I’ve sanded to 2000 grit, cutting compound and polished with buffer. It’s not great but for a first time spraying a guitar, I’m happy. I did a quick mock build.

    Now my question. I have a blank scratchplate. You can get templates online for the outline. I have no idea how to get where to make the pickup cavities on? How are you guys cutting? Scrollsaw? Bandsaw?
    I reckon it looks pretty good as is without any scratch plate.

    I agree, I like the naked look but I'm always leaning to the stripped down ethic. Great job Freaky!

    Man, I gotta agree with Waz here. This looks tip top as is.
