    Lots of help Jarrod, thanks - I will bake it in the oven... lol

    Thanks for the tips on adding the clear as well

    I have repainted mine twice and doing my second edge repair. I've scraped the binding so much (I keep scratching it and paint works its way in...), I'm surprised it's not transparent.

    Black guitars - Look awesome - painful to paint. The cooler weather is making it worse and time for a break for a few days.

    have had tech jobs in the past, wiring is fine, its finishes i seem to have issues with. Same as the LP, just smaller access.

    Actually thinking of a gloss black, like bargeloobs' LP. It will be a painted top either way, as the bridge holes have to be redone

    A canvas that size in black would look dam fine Stan. I have built a scratch Prs custom which will have a bagged finish on it (all will be shown in non PB gear section but it has turned out awsome) .

    Sounds nice Jarrod, looking forward to seeing that. LP is having some curing time

    I can only imagine how sick a blacktop ES would look, what with the added binding in the F-Hole jeez, you got me thinkin' now!
    Look if you need any advice on what not to do in regards to a black gloss finish just give me a holla, I'm an expert.
    Things must be drying out now anyway, we've been lucky in my neck of the woods it's been quite warm the last couple of days.
