Mixed my own concoction of Stewmac RED with some Shellite and acrylic laquer.
Gavmeister
Sanded back the RED and now my pants are covered in Concho Girl Pink...how did that happen?
Gave this a light rub down with the dregs of what was left in my Dark tease bottle......
Gavmeister
Man... That grain really calls.
I have ordered in some really nice Rio Grande pickups to go in this strat. This will be my second set after the first lot I purchased impressed me so much!
Gavmeister
Nice Gav, very nice. That grain is something else! Great work with the stain and rub-back.
cheers,
Gavin.
