Also love that matching stock on the red body with white guard, invokes old-school cheapo vibes of supro/airline etc.. while bringing the shortscale class.

Haha... you looked a bit bemused by my impatient request for a vid...

thanks for the speedy response though... sounds ace, such a nice project & executed with perfection it seems.

Wish I had the balls to start a similar project...

cheers

cheers mate, It is by far my best finish I have done, that is a combination of experience and the actual product I was using. I have learned allot from this project alone so the next should be better or at least easier to complete.

there are things I am not completely happy with still but I am terrible at looking at it for ages to try and find stuff. but yeah it is free of aids.

cheers dudes.

If a guitars paint is not cured it should not be sent out it will get fucked up. the amount of time that had passed the paint should of been long since cured though, unless they used some real shit paint.
