Welcome back, good to see you're still on the sunny side of the grass.

Funny thing, only yesterday I was trying to remember who the guy in the chair was who did the nice spray jobs.

Question answered.

hi Dave good to see some of the long term guys are still plugging along

[Trevor Davies]

Yes, welcome back phrozin. Nice to have you back working on guitars.

Good to see you back and still with us. I knew you were in a chair but didn’t know the reason, motorcycle strikes again. Looking forward to seeing your work again.

ok got a bit done I put new binding on the body did a pearl I've filled the grain used a 2k primer with a bit of plastisizer mixed in the keep it flexible gone over it with a plastic filler (black stuff) I use that as have had some problems using 2k which is a epoxy as wood grows and shrink with the weather, I found that was the best results for it not cracking over time. Removing the neck was the way to go but I will glue in back in before I shoot anything at it, I'm a bit undecided if ill do it candy dark cherry or candy Sky Blue leaning towards the blue, I've put new binding on the les Paul but didn't have enough left to do the neck so have ordered more so not a lot to add their except I'm going to do a candy tangerine but thats a way off, their not to much in the way of kits available at PB i want to do, had a bit of an iche to do a black beauty, years ago I had an Gibson Custom Ace Frehley Budokan with 3 PAF-style DiMarzio Super Distortion pups my mate pester me for ages to sell him it they will set you back $25k the thing sounded great

Got my 1st guitar painted I picked it up from cashiers on Saturday body was poorly painted and I dropped it and took a hunk out of it so figured bugger ill repaint it, I've done a bit on the ES I'm going to do that in candy dark cherry, I had more candys than I thought which was great as I buy my candys and pearls from the UK got every colour except candy apple Red the tele I've use a silver base and 4 coats of candy Sky Blue I've put 6 coats of clear its 44 deg here in Adelaide today, the paint was dry before it hit the body ill sand it with some 1000grit and put another 5 coats, the ES I darkened the cherry to an almost deep crimson its also coming along ill get some work done on it this week, I lashed out a purchased a white with gold HW Les Paul custom, but looking for a decent Strat or an Ibanez S to do, I've not done much on the les Paul as the custom ill have the 3rd pup put in as it will be my best 1 I own until PB gets some les Pauls and SG kits in stock the custom is new


Hers a couple of pic of the Tele I spent some time getting it nice and flat

That is going to be a one of those stelthy stunners. It looks a bit like the old lake placid blues...and then you get close and it's something even better ;-)

it does I put a couple extra coats which made it a bit bluer i used a softer silver with less flake it looks like this with a more metallic silver, you can put it over a gold base which is more reflective
