Yeah, I think with the Red tort it'll look great. Part of me still wants to paint it block white but I'm suppressing it.

I reckon that once you've got the pg on there and it's all together you won't be wanting to change it at all, reckon it'll look well smart.

Yea, I love white (block or stain) and red tort. Don't ask me why, but I've seen it like 3 times on a Fender, and the shit looks AMAZING.

I'll ask my Dad.
The red tort has arrived and it looks great. I've been adding clearcoat for weeks now, I have some more and some wet/dry sandpaper. Another can and I'm ready to sand I think.

Looking good mike.....I spend a lot of time browsing warmoth, and I'm always thinking about building something....so the neck is good?
did you get all those other parts from there too?
how's that clear coating going?

Alright, the guitar is at my folk's place 40 miles from me, I only get to spray it when I call past there on the way to rehearsals and stuff (my band are based in the same area) so I just throw like 4 coats on per visit (every 15 mins), it's been slow going, since all work on the guitar had to be done at similarly stunted intervals.
The Neck and most of the hardware came from Warmoth yes, it's a lovely neck but they took fucking ages to get it done. I ordered in September and finally received it in Feb/March I think.

I'll probably see what I can pick up on ebay, then get what I can't find from them....I need to get posting so I can look in the classifieds on here!!

You can get hardware from a few dif. places... I would only go through warmoth for bodies and necks, unless they're cheaper that is...Mustang Melx wrote:ah, I see......but good things are worth waiting for.Mike wrote:Alright, the guitar is at my folk's place 40 miles from me, I only get to spray it when I call past there on the way to rehearsals and stuff (my band are based in the same area) so I just throw like 4 coats on per visit (every 15 mins), it's been slow going, since all work on the guitar had to be done at similarly stunted intervals.
