Well, the others would know that I'm in Advanced mathematics at school, which means i do Year 10 maths instead of Year 9 maths, so I'm a little bogged atm, i have done a bit of work though, picture will be up later!

Hey guys, time to make a decision!
I haven't done much with the kit in the last month, and I want to get it done fairly soon, as the time fo me to build my next kit (StratoPester, I have some pretty neat ideas that I have up my sleeve, DB and Wokka know!!!!), and I don't want to have the LP falling behind, so i've decided to do a test. I will apply just a little bit of Goldenrod to the glue area and see what happens compared to the side of the neck joint. If it doesn't look good enough, then I'll try 'dabbing' the GR to see what happens then
Fingers crossed for you - good luck!

The cutaway is where the glue is, it isn't the most interesting area of the guitar, so if there's a bit of darkness underneath the GR it might make it look a bit worn and faded maybe???
I think the term you are looking for is custom, unique or natural. No one will even know its there (apart from you).
Sounds like a real pain...

Yeah, it's a bit of a pain. About the uniqueness, wait until you see the finish!!! It will blow you guys away, it's my take on a Vintage Sunburst finish!!!!Quote from Brendan on May 13, 2013, 10:31

Guys, WE ARE IN BUSINESS!!!
Went out into the garage today, got a coat done, it looks like a 'bleed' effect going on in some places, but it looks pretty damn cool to me!!! Here's some epic pics (sorry for the light, my garage light ain't that good!)
