Ok it's been seven days since the first colour coat went on.
Which gave me alot of time to think and I've decided I want the neck join to be seamless.
Which means I will need to glue the neck on before I do any further painting.
*Will have to be less "zealous" when masking the fretboard next time, the tape revealing a sharp white line between paint and fretboard
Headstock turned out really nice. Am glad I put the effort into making it.
One of the tuning machine overhangs a little but it's barely noticeable and can't be seen from the front.
So, mocked up the guitar getting ready to glue the neck then stumbled across my first real challenges.
The dreaded nut to 12 th fret measurement not matching bridge to 12th fret
