well done Pest, that carmine is looking much more even after the 3rd deep coat. Keep up the good work and you will have a real contender for April GOTM. Knopfler may want to borrow it for his next gig !

Hey Gav, thanks for the comment! Yeah, I feel this finish is much better than the LP, but it isn't done yet!
If I keep at the rate of finishing that I have, I'll apply the last coat before March 15, so GOTM April, here I come!

Looking hot, Pest. Definitely a contender for GOTM.
Nice and richly red it really looks the business now.
Hot contender for GOTM I would think Mr Pest.
Looking great Pest! Fantastic colour choice. I'm loving it. Can't wait to see the clear coats on.
cheers,
Gav.

Cheers guys!
@BG I already had the SratoPester name in my head before I even had the kit!
And guys, there's a big chance I'll get a custom decal made for the headstock!
