Ads I got a feeling this is the bathroom in Gav's granny flat so he can get away with drying an axe in the shower/bathroom !

Yeah, Wokka has the truth of it. No way could I get away with this in the house .

Cheers,

Looks to me sir like you have got this paint and clear coat malarkey all sorted brother. Looks bloody great mate I'm very impressed. You have passed the Jarrod's school of colour with distinction and can safely dwell in the clear coat corner of the naughty room drinking beer and eating pizza with me ......Yah company.

Thanks Jarrod - I'm getting there! I've been wetsanding yesterday and today I started on the cut and polish. I noticed on one bridge post hole and on one neck screw hole that the finish has bulged a little. Obviously didnt heed the warning about water in holes closely enough! I've certainly learned my lesson now . Never needed to worry with the Oil whose name I must not speak. Anyway, the issues arent too big, so nothing to cry over. Will post pics soon!

cheers,
Gav.

Should look unbelievable all put together, can't wait to see her all done Gav. Lovin' that heater idea too, perfect solution for this time of year!

hi guys,

Thanks Bargey! Not long now - she's really coming together. Today, while my code built I took the opportunity to finish my wet sanding to 2000 grit and then get on to the Meguiars compounds as taught by sensei Jarrod.

It took 3 passes with the Meguiars ultimate compound before I was satisfied that all the sanding marks were removed. Jeez my shoulders were aching by the end. No buffing machines here in Holgate folks!



It was then on to the Meguiars Scratch 2.0X. She's really shining now! Very happy with how the body has come up. There's a few little marks here and there that pay witness to my outdoor clear coating activities (damn little bugs!) but all in all she looks awesome - I'm one very happy pinhead!



I even had time to get some copper foil into the cavity. I Still have to get the ground wire in and soldered to the copper, but that's tomorrow's job.



In other awesome news, I finally ordered my DiMarzio FS-1 to go into the bridge pickup slot. Exactly the same pickup as Johnny rocked. Just hope I can do it justice. Exciting times!!

cheers,
Gav.

Nice job it's looking great. Busted out a bit of pet cemetery while jamming tonight in it's honour.

[gavinturner]

Awesome Looney! Great track that one.

cheers,
Gav.

Hi guys,
Shielding is done, wiring is in - all except the bridge pickup that I'm still waiting on. Fret level is still required.





cheers,
Gav.

It's looking an absolute pearler, Gav!
