Finally back working on the guitar.
Shaping the headstock, using the bait board as a work bench, might have to change the name to "Baitcaster". The table isn't used to clean a lot of fish so at least it is useful for something.
Any way the rough shape is cut out now for the angle grinder to do the fine stuff. !!!!
Nice work Dennis! It's really coming along. Headstock's gonna look great when you are done..!
cheers,
Gav.

I mixed 50/50 so as not to be too complicated. The white knocks the intensity if the surfer girl../<\\/p>[]<\\/p>/Quote from SIMpleONe89 on April 24, 2014, 17:15

Thanks for the reply! How many coats of 50/50 did you apply? I'm thinking of achieving a solid colour with the colour in your second coat.
