well after many many paint problems its getting there again. still waiting for the body to cure a bit more but the headstocks done. no point having a full pic yet as the boards still taped up waiting for frets to be done.

as the paint was kinda doing it itself anyway, i thought id give it a checked old nitro look.

and this is the back - the other half of my £5 find. not a bad neck for £2.50

Seriously love your logo

**james90** · 17-07-2010, 02:16 PM

Nice, are you going to do the whole body with a checked look too?

So you mean the neck blank was only £2.50?

hooglebug · 17-07-2010, 02:31 PM

yeah cos the finish is kinda fucked anyway.

i got a plank of maple for £5 and have had two necks out of it. so £2.50 per neck. yup

Neil. · 23-07-2010, 06:11 PM

hooglebug · 23-07-2010, 06:19 PM

...or.......a reflection of the ceiling in the chrome control plate

**james90** · 23-07-2010, 06:27 PM

ceiling??

seriously, it looks great - how do you find the intonation with that bridge? still need to switch out the one on my tele.

what's up with the lapsteel btw?

hooglebug · 23-07-2010, 06:42 PM

Looks good hooglebug!

Can I ask you a question on the binding though.
When you scrape the paint of the binding, 1: How do you keep it even around the whole body and 2: When the paint is scraped off, there is a small 'ledge' left there from the paint on the body, how do you get it smooth?
