    No pics today but I’ve had a crap weekend painting my guitar body.
    Applying the final clear coats to it and I kept getting foreign debris in the finish. I had to keep sanding it back and went too far, totally screwed it.
    So sanded it all back both sides, bought more paint and sprayed again yesterday 3 coats. I’m going to leave this now as we are off camping next weekend to white gum farm. I will then try the clear coat one more time after that. It will be what it will be, I’ll turn it into a relic if I have to. Oooossaaaa

    I think that is why I am where I am, trying to have it too perfect.

    Its looking great, you must be very pleased. That seafoam green is really popular. I think it or a similar blue will be on my future radar.

    It's a big milestone when you get the guitar together for the first time!

    Yeah really pleased now it’s together. I’m looking forward to seeing how it sounds.
