    I love the beer label axe! I would've loved a guitar like that back in the touring days!
    Hey woks I got a few runs on my last coat. Do you sand the runs out or spray over them? I've read differing opinions.

    Hey Damo. Let it cure then sand out runs otherwise will be too hard to get a flat finish

    Good job! Black gloss will show any imperfection, and that's looking pretty good!

    Looks amazing! What kind of pickups are they? They also look the business with that finish of yours.

    cheers,
