DrNomis_44's Gold Standard STA-1M Build.

[dingobass]

For sure, I'd definitely consider beta testing Coolangatta Gold MkII, I watched one of the guide videos where you and Adam were discussing how to apply the intensifier coat to a guitar which had been finished in Coolangatta Gold MkI and I thought it looked nice,assuming that I got a Strat body with a nice grain pattern I could also try adding the Gold highlights to the Coolangatta Gold MkII finish, I wonder what that would look like with the Gold Hardware, and white pearloid scratchplate?

As a side note, it would be cool to have some way of previewing guitar finishes, maybe a small app you could run on a PC,Mac, Phone etc, then you could see what the guitar would look like beforehand, you could then easily change the finish if you didn't like the result without having to any sanding back.

I can do Gold highlight too!
These will be available as add ons with the MKII

My brain just froze up at the mention of creating an app
I wouldnt have a clue about how any of that 'puter stuff works, let alone create an app

You could try hiring some IT person to create the app for Pitbull guitars.



One thing though, once the dingo tone has dried, is it okay to spray a lacquer clearcoat over it or is there something better that you could recommend?

On a different note, I am intriuged to know how wide the snail tape is.
I see it is around the $8 mark for 4 meters, compared to $6ish for the 60mm wide x 1 metre length shielding tape we sell at PBG.

The obvious advantage of 60mm is less joins, and I also wonder how the adhesive on the snail tape will hold up over time..

Disadvantge of PBG tape is shipping cost if your order is under the free post range.....

I'll tell you what, when I go to the Big Green shed next Tuesday to buy some things needed for my kit build, when get back home I'll measure the dimensions of the copper snail tape and post them in this thread, will also post my experience with it too.

Doc that combo would work well I think and the maple neck would go well with the white pearloid PG.

@ DB, I'm keen to beta test some mark 2 DT colours, I can pick them up to save postage

Lol....it's currently 11:54am over here in Darwin, so that's just over 5 hours to go wokka.

Lol....cheers, the question to ask is, "Is he obsessed?", and my answer is "Obsessed, he is".

ah damn I forgot the time zone for Darwin, I was thinking its 2 hours ahead of WA but it's only 1.5 hours. What throws me out is SA has daylight saving and are 2.5 hours ahead of WA. Too many time zones in Oz !

oh well, 5 hours and counting Doc !
