shiscabob Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 What'd really be neat is if you made a ZR cover to go along with the stripes of the neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyt Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 What'd really be neat is if you made a ZR cover to go along with the stripes of the neck Don't know, I'm thinking trying to match up the neck & the covers..& the back plate might look off Sat around trying to decide what colour & finally just got on with it. Needed to be something to go with the Paduk Brown sandback Coat of orange, then straight on top with yellow More brown for a burst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Good call and it's gorgeous. I'm assuming you airbrushed on the brown dye burst? SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyt Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Cheers all Good call and it's gorgeous. I'm assuming you airbrushed on the brown dye burst? SR No just rubbed in on, might have to get an airbrush - never tried one Gave the top a quick spray to seal in the maple before I do anything to the back on Fri, then the rain came pouring down so had to stop Thought I'd string it up to check out Forgot how easy ZR's are with the thumbwheel tension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanFuseBen Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Good freaking lord, Andy.... between your swirls and now this, its like you're reading my mind and building all my dream guitars. This guitar is STUNNING. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 No just rubbed in on, might have to get an airbrush - never tried one That makes the evenness of the fade that much more impressive. Well done. SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyt Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Sun came out for a couple of hours today so sprayed. Had to think how to hold the guitar when the only thing taped up was the fretboard. Used an offcut or a body blank as a handle screwed into trem cavity.

Prostheta Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 First thing I saw were the post inserts for the trem. A few long bolts would have both masked them off and provided a great pair of mounting points! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyt Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 First thing I saw were the post inserts for the trem. A few long bolts would have both masked them off and provided a great pair of mounting points! Had some bolts but they weren't quite long enough to attach anything to without being too close to the top of the guitar. The bandsaw cutoff gave good access to the top + had to spray while it wasn't raining. I like to give the posts some clear overspray it fills the threads up a little and stops the post rattling like using plumbers tape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyt Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Despite sealing the top a bit the 1st clear coats bleed the dye into the maple so scraped the whole thing off and started again, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpm99 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Ok. I watched the YouTube video. I think it's time for you to take up inlay, as you've clearly mastered everything else. Now that you have a little extra time on your hands, maybe you should build a bed. Or just make your bed. Seriously, you've probably already got my vote for guitar of the month, if I can get over that pink cord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotYou Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I just saw this in the GOTM thread. That is some nice work! The back of that guitar is stunning! I don't know if it was intentional or not (I'll give the benefit of the doubt), but the colors come together perfectly. Very, very nice.
