So, hello, gang. I made a little progress on our guitar here of late, so I thought I'd post a couple of pictures. In our little guitar building world, we feel we technically have an instrument when the clamps come off of the glue-up joining the neck to the body. I suppose this is your first real view of the guitar.
Please bear in mind that there is only one coat of clear lacquer on it to 'lock' things together. There is some 'orange peel' or minute dimpling in the finish which will be sanded out once the final 10 or 12 coats of clear are sprayed and dried. Here she is with that one coat of clear on it with the trim loosley placed for mock up efforts to get an idea of how things should look when she's done.
The green will be added in a week or so. It will go on the neck and back. First, I have a little art work to do on the top, then it all gets another 'lock down' coat. Then the back gets green, a little art work, and then kablooie!!!---10 or 12 coats of clear. This has a dull lustre to it now because it has been scuff sanded. The next pic will show the color coat and lock down coat before sanding. It will give an idea of how deep and glossy it should be when finished.
Well, that's it for now. I got to get back in the shop and do a little work on it. I hope you enjoy
