colour matched headstock?

Yes, I don't know If I should put Jag decal or Just a "Fender" or maybe just match the headstock and go decal-less??

personally i don't like blank headstocks, i'd go with the full jag decal

Been thinking about it and.....

Ahem..... well, its not a Fender guitar. The trem plate doesnt say fender and it's a hybrid Jag/Jazz so a matched headstock without a decal would be alright by me. After all Fender had fuck all to do with the guitar. (I guess except for coming up with the original body design).

I do have a set of White tipped Klusons for the headstock.

Edit: I guess the neck is a Fender, but still. Decal-less may still be cool.

I like it. Looks pretty close to the same colors I used. Duplicolor Light Blue Metallic over Sonic Blue.

Both look great.

As far as HS decals go, on custom jobs, I would jus write my own name. Ninja Mike-o-caster or some shit.

i second that motion.
thro your name on thier with a white paint pen or something cool.

I think your guitar was subconsciously in the back of my mind when I decided to go with comp. stripes.

I really like that Strat. Do u have a pic of it finished?

I used duplicolor white primer, and for the color I'm using NAPA custom colors. They're like $25 a can tho'

The paint does dry pretty fast which is good cuz u can work fast.

Between kids, classes and work I haven't got around to finishing it. I've got the neck sprayed with a matching headstock and decal. Just got to get around to wet sanding and buffing it out. I was really pleased with how well the Duplicolor primer and paint went on and how fast it dried. I used Deft clear gloss for the clear coats.

cooterfinger,
did u wetsand in between color coats?

That's a negative on sanding color coats. I try not to even touch the color coats if it's a metallic color because your taking some of the flakes off each time you do. I put a can and a half of clear on it then hang it up for a month. For wetsanding I use baby oil and 800, 1000 and 2000 grit paper. I used to wetsand with soapy water but it seems like the baby oil works much better and a couple of drops will go a long way.

Thx cooter.

And for the few keeping up with the thread...

Change of plans (Again... )

I bought this cheap Jaguar Pickguard and I think I'm gonna go for the full Jag look....

I want to keep the white tipped klusons so the guard needs to be white.

I'm gonna have to get some pickups then... , crap and the rhythm switches too!

Anybody want to swap the P-90's for 2 single coils? What chu gotz Shortscale?
