Thank you sir. I watched the video in your signature and you can spray a mean finish; you had quite the prolific 2017!

For the inlay I used a 1.5mm thick piece of celluloid, and cut it to shape using a rotary tool and a variety of blades and files. I inlaid it into an overlay glued to the face of the headstock and filled the gaps using epoxy tinted with ebony dust.

The Les Paul logo isn't a decal or sticker, it's screen printed directly on the headstock using an opaque gold ink.

Very impressive.

Thanks Wayne! I really liked your IB-1S, the shine you got on that clear coat was very inspiring.
