I finally had a free day to work on the guitar. I was able to get it ready to spray the lacquer. It is all sanded with 400 grit paper. The holes for the wiring of the electronics are drilled. I also drilled the holes for the bridge and the the tailpiece.
I am so excited to get this thing done, but today was too hot to spray by the time i got everything else finished. I wish at this point it was spray and play however, it is more like spray, wet sand, buff, install pickups, bridge, tailpiece, Re-cut the fret slots, install the frets, install the tuning machines, wire the pots and switch, install the strap buttons, shape the nut, install the nut,and the strings, tune, then play......whew, I'm kinda tired just thinkin about it.
Now I need to decide who I wall ask to play it for the first time. Tough decision.
Oh man ... that is really, really, pretty. Yes you still have a lot to install. I wish I could play it. but... I dont know how anyway. I bet it will sound as good as it looks, which is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI truly hope I will have the honor of playing this gorgeous piece of work! I may even try to convince you to give it a new home out on the road slaying stages with me! haha
