Well now really regretting telling the wife she can have this one for her three chords she can play, after the third clear coat she decides it is too dark. She wanted the center more yellow and a little less black around the edges. After a few carefully chosen words I proceeded to take the clear coats off the front and rub it back. She is now all happy again. "Wife free to good home comes with ES Guitar"

I gotta admit it looks fricken sweet with that centre brightened up, it's gonna be a show piece.
Catching a few IR rays for fast cure and will soon be ready for cut and polish to shiney shine.

Sensational colours... Wife should be well pleased.
Hah yeah Wokka, life is getting in the way a bit at the moment! I try and have a look in here when I get the chance, but the little man takes up a lot of my time. Still hoping to free up some time and cash soon to get another build going, but funds are a bit tight at the moment with the wife not back to full time work yet :?Quote from wokkaboy on May 7, 2014, 16:39
