Right proper PIA once neck has been set trying to flip the guitar applying the finish. Understand why as it should create a better finish around the neck joint but biggest downside is how clumsy it gets as I found out on my EX-1.Originally Posted by Dedman
Nice guitar Dedman look forward to seeing what you do and hearing the guitar with P90s
Agree, I tried this method with an LPJ and it was nothing short of a PIA when applying the finish.
Current Projects
#Planning 5 String Bass
I think a good compromise is the staining , main paint or whatever , with separate neck and body, then final finish/clears after gluing...

Still clumsy trying to cover all sides in the one application and invariably prone to runs, or at least that is what I experienced and never doing that again as it created more work than what I hoped to save. Maybe if spraying it might work better?
yea I have a double carport with lots of hanging area to spray in. Can but try it once if its a pain , I won't do it on the next 237 LOL

This guitar is so on my to do list. Looking forward to see how it goes.
If plan A fails, remember that you still have 25 letters left.
Kluson tuners and tail piece arrived at my shipper in the US todayThat just leaves the inks/stains to get.
Going to have a bit of break from builds for a few weeks, I have a Fuzz pedal to build that Doc made the board for and I'm thinking of building a 2x 12 speaker cab, set up so it can run as 2 separate 12's (so can run 2 amps into it) or as a dual speaker single input.
Yea, I like to keep busy in winter when I can actually breathe.
