I have put on the fourth base coat, any suggestions on how many base coats I should do? Should I just keep going until it's all used up?
Thanks,
Jacob

Just go until you're happy with it. No real need to put the whole lot on.
'As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.'
I've put a fifth base coat on. I think I will do one more after it dries which will pretty much use it all up anyways. I'm really happy with how it's looking so far. After this I need to put on the coat of silver highlights and the top coats.
Thanks for all the advice and support,
Jacob
Looks great Jacob. Big fan of the green.
Needs to be more green guitars and basses in the world.
Looking forward to the final product
keen to see some photos Jacob. Sounds like you have enough colour coats, should look great

We have finished applying all of the top coats and we are waiting a week to buff it up with printer paper. Meanwhile I decided on a headstock and we cut it out yesterday, we still need to sand it but the overall shape is there. Next up: wiring!
Sorry for the lack of update,
Jacob
Love the headstock shape, very nice work.
I am also a little envious of that drill press. Wish I had that in my workshop.
great headstock shape

Looking great Jacob. Love the colour, and the headstock shape is very cool! Any plans for neck colour?
