Southpa Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Just got some pics taken of my latest project. Its my old EKO Model 100 archtop that I use as a slide guitar. It used to be a crappy mustard yellow to chocolate brown sunburst, the varnish was badly checked and chipped. After stripping it all off I discovered a beautifully figured 3ply spruce top. I stained the body Kingfisher blue, using Dylon fabric dye, and clearcoated with automotive laquer. Then wetsanded up to 2000 grit and polished with Meguiar's No. 2. The neck is Madonna blue, again with fabric dye and has a heavy poylurethane clearcoat. The poly went down so smooth and glossy that I didn't bother with any further sanding or polishing. Nothing like a little side job to fill in time while waiting for that UPS truck with more parts for the next project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbkim Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 That looks real nice! Yeah, I can see figuring in the wood. I'm sure it looks better than the sunburst you described . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
