So,
Here it is at last... Got it polished with wet sanding 2000 grit and soap water. Then polishing with AutoGlym Paint renovator and Wax. Should have gone to higher grits but I´m running out of time and I need to get the neck in place this week. Maybe will polish more later.
Pics with hardware. Still thinking if the Black pearl is the right choice for scratchplates. Pics are darker than the real color - more gray-ish is the truth on the top.
Still - with this being my second build and first time TO practice - I´m pretty pleased with the results.![]()
looking nice and shiny Arzi, no wonder you are happy with the results - looks great !

Phwoar! That is stunning! Off the wall, but amazing none the less. I really like what's going on here.

Amazing! Love the red patches Arzi, I'd be plenty chuffed about this body so far!
amazing job Arzi, looks great. The black pearloid scratch plates look just right

Thanks guys! Amazing stuff that TO. Will use it again for the next build. Maybe not gonna aim for mirror finish again because of the amount of work but you never know.
It' great to be able to take the next step with this one and start putting the pieces together.
nice one Arzi,
luckily you live far enough away from the Naughty room otherwise DB would throw you in for a while with those comments
