Been a while since I’ve posted due to work commitments.
This post has been a worts an all so far so here goes.
After my clear coat failures I decided to tru coat it. I tested on some timber and it worked out well.
On the guitar body not so well, due to the large surface area the application over the paint shows up. Of course the replies will be obviously cause it’s paint, it doesn’t seep into the wood. But on my test it was perfect.
Anyway I decided to carry on and see what happens. This is all a learning process for myself and others in the future who read this.

It does have a nice shine, but in certain angles you can see where the tru oil has been applied. Even though I used little pieces of lint free cloth it still did not come out lint free. I even used 0000 wire wool that smoothed a little bit on the next application it was back. So I can still feel little bits of lint.

Moving on I’m now in the process of slowly putting this guitar together. Can I also say that putting on the copper shield is not as easy as you think it is.

Here are my pics so far.
