Thread: Becs First Build; LP-1M

  1. #1
    Having a go at building my first LP. It could turn out awesome, or terrible... only one way to find out!
    ^____^

    Shaped the headstock, gave everything a good sanding and applied a deep coat of Wudtone 'black magic woman'

    ...then sanded the top down a little and turned it green. Going for a burst look. But I might suddenly change my mind and take it back to black if that doesn't work out :P

    Love that green. With the clear over it that thing will be super deep. Nice work.

    Agreed, that green is rather special. Loving the look of this one so far.

    Aw, thanks guys
    I'm working on the burst now; it is harder than I'd expected to get it all nice and even. I think It'll look cool when I'm done though.

    looks great Bec and welcome good to have a female buider, I can only think of 2 others in the forum.
    Keep that green will look amazing with a few clear coats.
    Love the body hanging method, is that a bass string that goes to the control cavity ?
