So I decided to sand back the dye using 500 grit to smooth it off. Aaaaaaand now it’s relic’d:
I should rename this build diary “Lemony Snicket’s a series of happy accidents”. I LOVE how the neck looks with the wood exposed on the edges. The body I did second and I held back a bit on the sanding based on how the neck went because I know it’ll go through it’s own natural relicing (read: getting the shit beat out of) process as I play it. The aforementioned dark spots faded a little as they dried up and needed minimal sanding to even out.
I like how the body and neck look as is so...one layer and done, word. On to finishing!
So...I love Tung Oil. I know it’s controversial in guitar finishing but A. I like it and B. I had some already lying around. It’s my build and I’ll Tung if I want to!
Cat tax. Josie doesn’t care.
