IPA or death Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 I agree with you on two fronts: First, that there are lots of helpful people and great information on this site. And secondly, that you've got finishing figured out. Superb work olyen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurits Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Those are some killer looking finishes, good job, you sure are getting the hang of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdstone Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 They look very nice but be careful when you drill the bridge holes. If the lacquor is not completly dry you can lift it around the hole area(from experiance). More than likely you have already drilled them by now i guess.

radrobgray Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 what type of fin. is that? what colors/method did you use on the lp? very nice on both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyen Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 what type of fin. is that? what colors/method did you use on the lp? very nice on both. that is behlen lacquer for instr.the color I applied on both was honey amber with a bit of brown to darken it a bit and the sanded back and just a clearer amber,after that a little brown and red for the sunburst,i dont really know much about this, mostly tint the lacquer for the sunburst always starting with a clear shade and then darkening it up till im happy with the color ,i think its safer that way,here s some progress pics ,not much but something,comments are all welcome. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d47/olye...SGUITARS145.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d47/olye...sGuitars011.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d47/olye...sGuitars003.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d47/olye...SGUITARS002.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d47/olye...SGUITARS005.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
