Sorry for the lack of updates, but recently I started to paint it, picked red ( I don't know why I just liked it LOL)

Here are some pictures:

The colour doesn't look right in the pictures it looks more similar to a dakota red in person

still got more painting to do.

you started paint before you routed and fitted all the parts? in my own experience this is a horrid idea. tho i only did it once with the first guitar i built in indiana, so it was a trial and error peice anyway.

Yeah, always have a habit of doing that because I can never choose what pickups etc I want in it lol, doesn't bother me as I usually cover the area up with shielding paint or foil etc.... but yeah I know it's a bad habit

but the painting is not finished yet.

Looks great. Reminds me a department store prize from the 60s!
