hi chaps Been busy I finished painting the SG she will take a few days before I can polish as I've put 15 coats of clear 10 coats thined down to 1-1 sanded that down with 1000grit then another 5 at 2-1 its come up nice picture doesn't do it justice, it a tint over binder you can see the grain through the paint, I'm going to leave it 3-4 day to harden thats the down side of lacquer I've done the SG with spray gun
The other is the squire I've striped it down and sanded the body with 800 grit then 1000grit and lastly 2000grit it had done bad scratches in it which its a keeper so put a bit of work into it, all the scratches are gone a cut it back with a 2k cutting compound don't know what clear they use but it pretty tough to cut back, I changed out SSH pick ups for a SSS changed all the electrics to better pots and cap used a black pick guard as I feel it suits it better, I've also put on a roller Bridge, upgraded machine heads (tunners) set it all up did any high frets and im going to change out the nut for a graph tech the thing plays great and sounds great was exactly what I was looking for heres some pics
Thats them all done till I find some more and I'm going to buy couple of tele kits and a es335 but you can buy a new artist hollow body cheaper than a kit I had 1 before I got sick so think ill grab 1 of those
