HNB man Im digging your green Jag there. You think that would look good with a deep dark burgundy tort? Maybe not bright red, but a dark red. I love your Lack Placid Blue too. Nice paint jobs.

Hmmm never had that sort of issue with deft before. Maybe it was a bad can? Bizarre... :( The strange thing is I had it sitting on a towel for about a week before I sent it and it didn't do a thing to it.

Well, I don't think it is the paint, It's the clear coat.

Hey Punk, if you are unhappy with the finish, I can trade you back the loaded Jag-Stang body you traded for the Loaded Jaguar body if you want. We would keep necks, neck bolts, and plates. Let me know.

It has an 80's strat pickup in the neck and a super distortion in the bridge. The pickguard is a stock pearl Jag-Stang guard.

I could be wrong but I think he felt bad because he finished the guitar and he was trying to make things right more than he was looking to trade the body. I don't want to put words in his mouth . . . just sayin'

SKC is right. I like the guitar a lot, but since I did the finish on it and you seem to be having problems with it, I felt the honorable thing to do would be to offer you to trade back. I am not really looking to trade the body. I like it, but I don't want you to feel cheated or anything. That was my fifth or sixth paint job and I haven't ever had a finish that took this long and wasn't curing.

Nah don't feel bad at all man! It could just be the clear coat. It's not a big deal really. I don't want to get rid of it. It's a great body and you did a good job on it as well. I was just asking about the Jag-Stang body because I always liked it and wanted to know if you were interested in getting rid of it.
