Nice save. Looking good.

Looks awesome Jason! How did you apply the burst? Don't know much about the process, so trying to get a good idea of how successful ones have been done haha.
Thanks guys.. I am really pleased. I will be putting it together is a few days. Will post more photos..
Mike, what I did was sand really good, spray a vinyl sealer let dry then wet sand lightly.
Then I sprayed the front and back with starcast amber. Then just sprayed the burst with encore brown by hand, no template to cover the front or back. Just sprayed most of the spray off the guitar letting a little hit the body. The youtube link I have listed is exactly how I did it. Have a look at it.
This was the first guitar I have ever done and really the only time I have ever worked with spraying wood. Give this video a look and watch from the beginning of the series. I followed this plan.
Thanks again and have fun..
Jason
