Hey Damo, lesson learned I spose, thanks for sharing what happened.
Chrome with Gretsch pups should look awesome.
For the record I think the colour red was super cool.

Thanks Wokka.. Hindsight is a wonderful thing!
Glad I've rescued her.. She will now be known as Black beau..
I've just done a mock build on my ES1G which I received last week.. This time I'm keeping the door locked so no-one can pass comment on my colour choice.
haha yeah Damo, colour is very much personal preference, so if you like the colour roll with it !

Damo, nice save the black looks awesome. I have recently wrestled with the same FW stain. It's very strong unless diluted substantially...

Thanks Andrew,Originally Posted by andrewdosborne
Yeah FW is full on. Played havoc with the binding too. Got a few hairline cracks that are irreparable now.
cracks in binding makes it look a bit vintage Damo !

Aahh thanks Wokka you're a legend!
It looks about 450years old now but I'm cool with that haha..
yeah Damo, unfortunately cracked binding the only fix is to replace it which is a massive job.

Yeah I looked into it and it looked like a massive job.. I figured I'd rather play the guitar with slightly "reliced" binding than wait another month doing binding, losing massive clumps of hair and filling my swear jar trying to teach myself how. Life she too short!
plus if you had to replace the binding in it's current state most likely you would have to refinish the top and sides.
How many times you already sanded back this build ?
