Walnut Hollowbody Build

Thanks. Paint fixes everything. :grin:

The antique white is nice. Its a color that can go anywhere and not look too out of place.

I think I got this last coat all even in color and such. Lets see how it looks after some 400. If I can make white look good, I think I'll go with it. Mixing it yourself, it can be a little tricky to get everything right.
 
The pickup route is cut!

You're quite adept with the butter knife!

Well, mom never has let me play with sharp things, so you learn to get creative.
You should see me trim the lawn with a pair of spoons.

you should have left it the way it was. :facepalm:

The best laid plans and all that. Just too many fuckups that needed covering up.
Many a painted guitar got that way because A) The wood was ugly or, B) The sunburst got fucked up. :grin:
I have a misaligned seam and paint will make it go away, so...

Hey! Do you think if I paint my 1040...?
 
WTF happened here?

Last I saw it had been dipped in bleach or some such shit.

Seriously, wtf happened?

Did you get high and take a can of spray paint to it or something?
 
The neck definitely looks better. No lacquer on it yet, but it's a nice improvement already.
I kinda dig that ivory color. May need to use that one on a whole guitar one day. :grin:

Damn, forgot about this thread. Apparently there is no end in site.

Let's go FLYERS!!!
 
It is! Almost ready for the clear.
I need I do one more spray white coat. I picked up some duplicolor Ford Oxford White.
The shellac paint by itself was too inconsistent in color and I kept sanding through so I decided to use it for a primer/sealer coat and do lacquer color.
The Watco clear I have doesn't use any UV inhibitors and yellows over time.
