Some pics sanded the whole thing 240-400-600-1200 000 steel wool (couldnt find any 0000)

Shaped the headstock.

Initial black coat on the top, sanded back and applied first coats of green to the top and neck, the top is gonna have an amazong contrast vs the neck and back of the body. I hope enough coats of green will mask my cock up woth the black stain.

I enjoy working with the watered down acrylic paint so mich more than the water based inks.

It's much more forgiving, easier to clean off and spreads a lot easier it also takes to spots where the water based black ink did not.

Looking great Joe! Love the headstock design. Personally I would just condition the fretboard with Dr Ducks or Dingotone wax at the end of the build. The wax especially will provide a nice smooth surface. he green colour is looking great over the spalt anf the neck. This is going to be a killer build dude!

cheers,
Gav.

Haha yeah, my gf will be laying down the custom artwork on the headstock and back of neck (poison ivy vines going along it) so she's in charge of finishing the neck.

Gonna let it all cure for a week before i can go at it again.

Saturday is finally upon us more buffing/staining/sanding fun ahead of me today

Question can i use aluminumbtape to shield the cavities? Copper tape is pretty spensive and i can get my hands on aluminum tape for free at work.

Yes, you can use Aluminium Tape for shielding, although you cannot solder to it like you can to copper, the way around that is to use a small woodscrew with a washer to attach the bared end of the ground wire to it.

I wasn't even aware the tape needs to be grounded
