Dedmans build 4 ES5-V

[Dedman]

more clear coats today, it's really soaking them up on the ink stained sections

good stuff Dedman look forward to photos. What sort of clear are you spraying ?
sounds like the weather finally fined up !

[Dedman]

it's just car acrylic I've used on all my other builds. Yea , we didn't get much winter this year, I was sweating like a pig washing the car and bike today. However I have to get my painting done before 10am as the breeze comes up and I'm painting in a car port

this beast keeps deifying my efforts to finish it. I got up early to spray more clear coats but the weather is overcast with rain predicted.

Dude even in this quasi-completed state this guitar looks superb. Its a testament to your abilities and I really look forward to seeing the hardware go on this. Wonderful work!

[Dedman]

got 4 more light clear coats on before the clouds gathered. That should be enough to sand it smooth, sanding tomorrow, hopefully final tops coats next week.

nice work Dedman, on the home stretch now

[Dedman]

final clear coats went on today, final W&D and polish tomorrow maybe


Inlay finished up not looking terrible, not bad for a first try me thinks

[wokkaboy]

[Dedman]
