Paul Marossy Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Anyone ever try this? Any tips on how to do it? I'm not sure if it's possible to pull that off, but I thought I would ask because the thought has crossed my mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclej Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 yep..i did it on the parrot guitar and it kicks butt. the only thing i did different than the body is i left a 1/4" overhang and didn't trim it until i had put a coat or two of sanding sealer on it to stiffen it up. i trimmed it exactly flush with the outside edge of the headstock and wanted a real clean cut. check it out. http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1062390 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marossy Posted November 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Oh yeah, I remember that now. I guess the part I was wondering about the most was how the sides turned out. Did you have apply sanding sealer to the sides of the headstock as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclej Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 i didn't use the sanding sealer on the sides. what i actually did was to tape off the back of the neck just below the headstock and shot the sides and back with black lacquer then removed the tape and shot a fade on down the neck a bit and then clear coated it. but if you have a good finish on the neck to start with i'd just mask off the sides and work strictly on the front.

Paul Marossy Posted November 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Yeah, my neck has a good finish on it. That still seems kinda tricky to me, but maybe I can do a pratice run or two on something I don't care about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
