Everything fits now I have done this routing job in the control cavity



The body has been sanded back to get rid of any divots and pencil marks. Did it to 400 grit to get the foundation smooth and now for the grain filler.



I have no idea why all of my picture are upside down. Have tried to edit them in my photo library but no matter what I do they appear upside down.

Anyways, that is going to be the jig I use to spray paint in a couple of days. Will put an open step ladder sideways on with a drop cloth attached to the back and going to the floor to the ground. Any overspray will collect on the drop cloth

I will try and take a non upside down photo of that.....

Clear paint maybe??????

I feel like I am letting everyone down a little. The grain is truly beautiful and I do like it but my plan was to try and get a paint job like the silver sky nebula...which shifts colour from blue, through red to purple. Since I have bought the paint, I don’t want to waste it.

I do have a contact that can get me a quilted maple drop top and I’m tempted to try and get a custom shop hollowbody body and neck only and glue the drop top on, then try to do a dragon breath stain (I am just a big PRS nerd) and see if I can get that quilted 3D look...that is a project for later, though.

For now, spray paint ahoy!

Dude, I’m just being silly. The silver sky plane sounds epic, it’s just a shame it wasn’t a plain basswood body is all
