This sounds amazing. Have you thought about your top coat? I got a similar kit, so I am really keen on seeing your progress.

I'll be using wipe on poly over whatever the colours finish up being, I used it on a 1970s Gibson SG200 that I restored

I won't be using clear acrylic because I've had a problem with the guitars with that top coat sticking to the guitar racks

Sadly no progress to report as I had to finish the production of our latest album and get it out before Christmas, there's at least one PB guitar on each track ( all three albums are in my signature )

I've also been helping my son get his car ready for the Bogan Olympics ( Summernats )

A bit of a lazy day today so I mucked around with the headstock design, not final but close I think.

We went and saw a show last night "The Beach Boys Experience" a bunch of guys & girl from Brisbane, it was a roughly 2 hour show with an intermission, 1st half the sound was very ordinary the mics were unbalanced and piercing, I thought "not bad for an average pub cover band".

The sound guy must have had his bum kicked during the break because the balance was much better and the shrill highs tamed.

We were sitting one row behind the sound & lighting desk and the EQ curve on the voices was interesting and the compressors were spiking into the red, the console looked like an Allen & Heath C3500

Looks pretty good now that I see it!

Thanks, it's just roughed out at the moment as I'm concerned about the fill in the D string hole only being half enclosed but I think the G is OK

Dave, we still await the beach pic. Or did I miss it?

You have missed nothing, I haven't taken a suitable one

Here's one from out the front the other day, Neptune was in a mood the waves were huge

Ahhh. Thank you.

A pic for the www the water around here is still a murky mess after the heavy weather and we aren't walking the dog at the right time of day for the light.

This though is the image I have in my mind, sand in the middle and bursting out to the darker colours
