Cheers mate, it's taking it's time but I reckon it'll be worth it in the end, as the saying goes "Good things come to those who wait", I've had to postpone spraying a new coat of paint on the body due to the wet weather we're getting, apparently there was a cyclone warning for Darwin because a category 1 cyclone had formed near the Tiwi Islands, but the warning has since been downgraded, we're still getting rain from it though, been raining since early this morning, it's good since it has cooled things down a bit.

Postponement means some extra drying time too.


I'm just going to see if I can get a quick "mock-build" pic sorted so you can get a bit of an idea what the guitar is going to look like when it's finished, will post the pic once it's sorted....stay tuned.


Here you go, hope this gives you a bit of an idea what it's going to look like once it's all finished:

Very, very nice Doc.

Dayam Doc, this is going to be worth the wait!

I'll say.....the rainy weather seems to have eased off a bit so depending on how the weather is tomorrow, I might go ahead and spray a new coat of paint on the body.

The weather seems to have dried up a bit today, so I might just give the body another 24 hours of drying time and see if the weather is still dry tomorrow, if so, then I'll go ahead with the application of a new coat of Gold paint on the body.
