    Lots of very uninteresting sanding going on. That battered laminated board has so many little chips and dings to fill. Maybe I should have elected to do a relic?

    Still have no good ideas on finish. Part of me wants to go bright yellow, another wants a retro metallic like sherwood green. I've even been tossing up painting some artwork on it, but haven't had any good ideas.....

    I did decide to attempt a fix on one of the fret markers on the 12th. Bit of a mess unfortunately but I think it's tidier now.







    Build 1 - Shoegazer MK1 JMA-1
    Build 2 - The Relliecaster TL-1
    Build 3 - The Black Cherry SG AG-1
    Build 4 - The Sonicaster TL-1ish
    Build 5 - The Steampunker Bass YB-4
    Build 6 - The Howling Gowing ST-1

    The retro metallic sound great.

    Or maybe a nice sea foam green (did I just hear FW scream?)

    Scream? No. Barf? Quite likely.
