Live with it for a while and see if it gets to you mate.

Yeah i think I will. If you were playing it you won't notice it.

Final coats started on the top this arvo and intensifier on the back. It's looking good so far. I'll make a start on the neck finish tomorrow if i get a chance. I also need to do a little more shaping on the headstock im not completely satisfied with the shape at the moment.

Nice colour on the back/sides.

Yeah it is looking pretty nice its left over from my JMA build. Hopefully theres enough to stain the neck as well.

It's always the case you plan to get so much done but never get there. All the plans i had for the weekend went out the window after spending a day moving my sister in law into her new house. And another day at Werribee zoo with the family.
So I got limited time to put into the lp.
I managed to rework my headstock design and I'm a lot happier with it now.
And I also prepped the neck and got a coat of stain on. Unfortunately I only had enough stain for 1 coat on the neck which is a pain because i used 2 coats on the body. My only saving grace is that i have half a bottle of intensifier left so i still may be able to match the body color with some extra intensifier coats. If not I'll just have to get another DT kit.

Looking good. A few more intensifier coats on the neck should add more colour.

Another coat of intensifier on this arvo after the first coat it looked quite orange but it has started to darken up ill see how it looks tomorrow.

Many bad words were uttered this afternoon when i got home and went to inspect the L.P body.
I decided to spray a light coat of clear over it yesterday after some wet sanding and the clear i have used has had a reaction. Now I know there's a few reasons why this could have happened but im leaning toward improper cleaning after the wet sanding. In any case ill have to sand away the clear and start again. A frustrating experience but also a good lesson in paying attention to what you are doing and the results of being impateint.
