Oooooh yeah, you can see the badassidness (sorry that's not a word)taking shape already, the time you've spent on the paint job really shows, it looks flawless.
What plans have you got for the hardware on top (colour wise) or are you keeping hush hush?

[stan]

thanks guys.
It certainly isn't flawless, but not a bad first try.
Pups are all black Seymour Duncan SH4 SH2 combo, and the other hardware is all chrome.
Genuine Gibson pots
Orange Drop caps
Braided wiring
Have a choice of cream or black pickguard etc, will have to see later.
Top colour, yet to be revealed, is also dark, and hopefully very glossy.

Awww come on Stan, the wait is killing me! Reveal, reveal!!!

cheers,
Gav.

OK Gav, just for you, my keyboard is a bit iffy so don't mind any errors, the colour is going to be vgggnsjunuundmm

[stan]

time for some more pics.
On close inspection i didnt quite get the masking right on the neck. I left a small slither of timber showing.
There was no way I was going to remask and paint again, so here is the solution:

Slight edge issue, hard to see but a triangle of bare timber between the binding and the painted surface running from the nut for about 3cm as it tapers off.:



One sharpie pen, black out the error, once it's neatened up and clear goes over it should hide well (I hope...)

Lookin' real nice Stan, I tell you what I was doing in those exact situations was masking off the binding to the correct postion, spraying at bit of color into a little pot, then dabbing the black into the aforementioned area with a cotton bud. That way you're getting the exact colour back in there and you can go over a few times to get the thickness back, then just a light wet sand with 1200 once dry to level it out before moving on... IDK, it seemed to work.

Yes , that would be the correct way but I am lazy BL

C'mon Stan, that's not the O.C.D spirit, naa I'm just shittin' your way should be cool.

Stan, I love it! Always an easy workaround
