Hmm. I am still going backwards and forwards with the whole gloss vs satin thing. I have actually purchased a few cans of satin clear and I do still have another guitar body that I can trial use it on and if I don't like it, I can always just go back to the Super Cheap Auto stuff on this one.

The Fender noiseless pickups arrived earlier in the week and I am keen to pop them into the offset and shear what they sound like.

I ran out of the thin gluboost on the body before finishing i, so I have to wait another week or so before the new bottle comes. I still have a bit to go on with this weekend like fitting the pickups in the offset, Tru-oiling the neck and sanding the gluboost down on the body. The top and back are pretty close to done but I need to fill and smooth out the sides and edges. It probably only requires half a bottle at most but I will keep going until it is perfectly smooth so the final coats go on nicely.

Thanks everyone - gloss might win this one, but satin purple still looks good as I have a bit of an idea after I sand the glue with 600grit.

Cheers.

Chris
