That all sounds like good stuff. I think it might be time for glueage....

Glueing complete! Well, its stuck. Left it clamped because i believe strongly in overkill, and because i had an issue previously with glueing the nut :P but still not stringing it or anything for a while, cause the glue carton says not to stress the joint for 24 hours.

Anyway, pics



The neck is sitting on its own!







Just general other shots. Dang this is a long post...

And here is my project for today, cut the headstock veneer!



pro as heck orange pencil

Cool. Whats the veneer material..?

Uhhhh good question! It just says Fibre Sheet, so im guessing fibreglass of some sort. Also says its "as on Gibson guitars".... So its that :P It looks like itll take on the same texture as my Flying Vs headstock once its properly treated and i toss the clear layer of laquer over it

And now the waiting.... I just did all the electronics today, gotta wait for the 2nd shot of primer to dry... Ill do something with the headstock veneer as i go but i just want it to be finished and get the finish buffed, and the electronics in and arghhhh so much waiting

Okay, last post that isnt about a major leap forward, i realise im kinda spamming :P

Nearly finished the paintjob, and i start to notice oodd, tiny globules of moisture on the guitar... It was raining so i had to stop half way through D: its dine though, the finish feels amaaaazing in the places where the colour layer is complete, eve without the final clear coat... i love it already

Spam away man. but MOAR PICS!

Sounds good. Glide your hand over every inch of the guitar feeling for dimples left by the moisture drops.

Yeah, i id that, and actually the few that there are just swept off to the side. The finish must have been just dry enough :P But daaaaang i never knew how good it would feel to have the finish on... *strokes the still unfinished guitar all day*

[EDIT] Scratch that, i cant do this. Im giving up try to do the finish outside, its just too fucking annoying. Flies, dust, everything just gets on it. Cant get a smooth finish, and im all out of paint. It was fine yesterday for doing the front, but as soon as i try to do the back flies come out the fucking works and land all over it.

Sorry for ranting, im just annoyed that every time i think im about to get something major done, something goes wrong :P first the fret, then this finish being an arse...ugh

Something you can do on the cheap is to lay down a coat of finish and then put an open upside down cardboard box over the guitar to keep debris off of it.

I.... thats.... a erally really good idea. What the fuck :P and here is why i am well known for lacking common sense :P

Wow been a long time since last update, but the finish is complete! Im fixing down the pickups and guard so that they are held in place while i solder all the electronics together, so some nice pictures came out of it!





Im enjoying how damn pretty it is

White on white is niiiice.

I can't wait for the finished beauty shot.

Guess who just wired all the electronics in their guitar perfectly in one sitting!

Thats right, me!





Ugh, aint she pretty? Not quite done, the neck feels weird, so i gotta make that more playable, and the headstock veneer still isnt fitted... But she is playable and thats all i care about!
