Thread: Howdy from Adelaide

    Howdy from Adelaide

    Hi All, new member here from the forgotten cousin of a state. Haven't played for a while, but decided to refinish my cheap old Ashton guitar from years past as a bit of a practice before deciding on a kit to build from scratch.

    Thanks for the welcome Trevor.

    At the moment it's a test bed for learning to spray paint. The plan is a holo-flake finish over black, then clear on top. If I'm happy with the result I may look at reassembling it completely, also learning how to put together the electronics as I butchered most of the wires when I took it apart.

    (P.S., don't tell anyone I'm originally from Tassie then )

    Mums the word.

    Start a diary of the progress with the Ashton. I would love to see the holo-flake progress.
