I think the 'should I just do it white?' stage happens in every project with white primer. Stick to your guns and go red.

If you're not going to paint it shell pink, then I suppose white.

(I love white guitars, they look all Nashville, I think).

OK PROGRESS

Manchester guitar tech was pretty damn good. ordered on saturday and it got here today. that's not bad going. even if there paint is stupid expensive. although it is a very nice product. the colour coat is pretty much done I think. next comes clear! weeeoooo!

I have decided to instead of doing a matching headstock I am going to paint the headstock white. kinda like the airlines. I fink it will look kool.

I wuold probably just leave the headstock, but that's me.

Looks very nice. Whatever happened to Hurb's Motto of "you don't need clear", eh?

EH? EH?
