A bit of progress today. This time on the strat.
Got my metallic silver base coat and two coats of clear on. (that's the "clear" clear)
Next is to start the trans blue coats. I'm still playing with tint ratios, but I think I'm close.
I'm giving the LP (behind the strat) another 5 days, then I'll start cutting back and polishing.
I've done something on, or related to, one of these nearly every day since I started this thread (17 days ago) but it sure doesn't look like much progress. Some of that time has been experimenting, testing and some minor shop improvements though.
Still a way to go with neck stuff, but once that's done, it will just be assembly and set-up. I already have all the hardware and electronics for both!
