hey Singulum,
The headstock looks great and it looks like you are making good progress on the sanding! you might want to consider filling the grain before spraying to give a nice mirror finish.
cheers,
Gav.

Hey Gavin, headstock design is just a drawing I made by looking at the well-known-shape and using a round object and a USB cableOriginally Posted by gavinturner
(to get a slightly S curved shape) . I don't know if I need to use a filler but I think it's needed to be decided by the method I'm going to apply the color and the finish. But I think I'm not going to use spray method (yet).

Thanks Fretworn, I did spend quite a time reading the forum and searching-getting the materials. (was not so hard but was not so easy).
The thing is I didn't want to order online (abroad I mean). I'll try to complete these with the supplies here in Turkiye.

nice progress Singulum, and I like the food you are eating looks scrumptuous. Are you painting a solid colour or staining the body ? If you are staining then don't sand over 400 grit or the pores will be too small to take the stain.
@ Andrew, thats funny being called Walt from Breaking Bad hahha
Current Builds and status
scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks

Thanks Wokkaboy, I don't think to use a solid color I'll prefer staining. But there's no Wudtone here (and since it is all 100% natural I would prefer Dingotone to use) ,don't want to order it abroad and deal with our customs.
But I'll keep in mind not going over 400 grit since I plan to use a wipe-on paint if I can find any. There are many paints (water based acrylics) used on woodworking-hobby-objects. But this is a guitar project so I think I should find another way.

Coming along very nicely.
Lucky you live on the other side of the planet, otherwise you would be getting a visit from a few very hungry lads...
But we would bring beers
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
