Hi Shooter, here's some ideas for you maybe inspiration lol
http://www.skinyourskunk.com If you don't like idea of skin get Jarrod to airbrush a design for you.
The great thing about the skins my buddy used one for his son . When his tastes changed he just took it off .
(No he didn't have the unicorn and rainbows lol.)

Yes. Thanks heaps Wokka. I will aim for February GOTM
My friend and I are heading to the paddo for 5:30 to watch The Fit Swimmers. If anyone is in the area stop in and meet me. My number is 0408 362 673
no worries Shoota, don't rush the build just for the sake of entering GOTM February, solid paint and your graphics may take longer than you think.
Enjoy the show at the Paddo tonight

Ok, have shaped the headstock. It's a 50's Strat template but it's not perfect. And was never going to be, possibly as its a 3/4 size. But I think it looks good. One more deep tool mark to get out.

Not sure about that Fretworn ... I remember having the hots for Mrs Partridge (Shirley Jones)!... (must have been a "Mrs Robinson" thing) ... and Keith's (pre-CBS I think) 'burst Strat
... but yeah, the rest of it pretty much sucked!
Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!
SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)
I can't even watch it now. It's such a joke.
I might paint up another Partridge family guitar again. On the the Washburn I even had the Partridge painted on complete with cracked egg.
I tell you one thing I've learned in the day or two I've been here. Take pics of everything. I just never bothered before.
And Scott, I had a thing for Shirley Jones too. It must be the Mrs. Robinson thing.
2 coats of primer down. 5 to go. Well 3 then a sand. Then another 2. Then a sand. Then some colour.
Agreed, Shirley Jones was hot!Not sure about that Fretworn ... I remember having the hots for Mrs Partridge (Shirley Jones)!
... but yeah, the rest of it pretty much sucked!
Axe is looking good Shoota
