Seeing as #20 is a bit of a bitza I am undecided whether to stain or paint. I’m thinking of a bit of a rustic look, so I thought that I would stain her first, see how she looks and if I don’t like it I will then just paint over it.
So I thought that either way I would stain inside the chamber so the pine behind the “f” hole would not look so stark.
For those of you who are still confused at this madness this is how it works……
This is inside the back of the guitar (Layer 1). Notice how the stain really shows off my horrendous chisel work on the chamber. Hopefully the ugly part won’t be visible to the casual observer.
On top of that is the ply section (Layer 2) which has the chamber cut out and also the wiring routing.
Then finally the front of the guitar (Layer 3). The part that hides all my crappy workmanship.
Then you glue the whole lot together. I’m not sure but I think some ancient Greek philosopher once said “You can never have too many clamps”. But if he didn’t, he should have.
I can now start the final shaping and actually do a mock-up build to see if all the bits and pieces are in their rightful places.
Cheers guys
