RestorationAD Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 i am a sucker for single humbucker guitars. Specially super strats. Can't wait to see this finished Don't hold your breath. It needs graphics and about 12 coats of some thick clear to hide all the witness lines.I might never finish it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RestorationAD Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I took all the sharp edges off the colors with 400 grit before adding all the stickers. Not sure what I am going for now... maybe a Vernon Reid ESP meets a Lynch Kamikaze. The main theme moved from a Zero to a Corsair. And yes that is a picture of Pappy Boyington.

RestorationAD Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 So far it has been really fun. I am afraid I am going to have to build a neck for it at some point as this is a very very old (92) Allparts neck with a 1 5/8" Nut. Just tiny... I would prefer at least 1 11/16" but usually I use 1 3/4". If I do do a neck it will be later though as I will see how much it gets played. I still have to clear coat the crap out of it. It is going to take forever to build up enough finish... I need to find a local to do this for me as I don't have the patience. @SR 5 minutes give or take an hour. @ Sully Yes. Yes it is ...

RestorationAD Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Nice. BTW SR there is a bug in the finish... bastard. He jumped in before I swung the gun by and got a full wet coat on top of him. That makes 3 guitars with bugs in the finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RestorationAD Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Last coats of lacquer for the corsair (aka Zero). Switched to Mohawk Pre-Cat Lacquer for the final coats before buffing. I think I like the stuff. It is sticky, flashes off well, and dries shiny. Sands nice as well. We will see how it goes a week or two from now.
