    C'mon Aussie Post!!!

    For sure, I'd definitely consider beta testing Coolangatta Gold MkII, I watched one of the guide videos where you and Adam were discussing how to apply the intensifier coat to a guitar which had been finished in Coolangatta Gold MkI and I thought it looked nice,assuming that I got a Strat body with a nice grain pattern I could also try adding the Gold highlights to the Coolangatta Gold MkII finish, I wonder what that would look like with the Gold Hardware, and white pearloid scratchplate?


    As a side note, it would be cool to have some way of previewing guitar finishes, maybe a small app you could run on a PC,Mac, Phone etc, then you could see what the guitar would look like beforehand, you could then easily change the finish if you didn't like the result without having to any sanding back.


    And yeah, I feel your pain with Aussie Post mate.

    I can do Gold highlight too!
    These will be available as add ons with the MKII

    My brain just froze up at the mention of creating an app
    I wouldnt have a clue about how any of that 'puter stuff works, let alone create an app

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    You could try hiring some IT person to create the app for Pitbull guitars.



    One thing though, once the dingo tone has dried, is it okay to spray a lacquer clearcoat over it or is there something better that you could recommend?
