Ok, so I didnt get time to post any pics of my guitar until now. So here it is so far:
Its kind of a jazz master/reverend body design with a different pic gaurd. The actual shape of the pic gaurd needs to be tweaked a bit. The one on there right now was my first attempt and Im not super happy with it yet. My plan is to make maybe 2 or 3 pic gaurds and get different abstract graphical images printed on to decals that I will put on each one, so they're basically face plates for the guitar. That is also why I want to do the guitar black, because its sort of a neutral canvas for the imagery that will be on the front. The neck is from Warmoth and the pick ups are dimarzio virtual Ts. The sound the guitar gets on its bridge PU is something similar to Matt Bellamy's sound (from Muse) in the song Hypermusic, which is pretty sweet, as they are my favorite band.
I went to Benjamin Moore Paints today and picked up these two items
The guy at the store said he didnt think they were compatible with lacquer, but he didnt sound to sure. Copperhead, if these are the same products you are using in combination with the Watco lacquer, I'll take your word for it that they should work.
The sanding sealer says it must not be used under urethane products. Also, does contain vinyl toluene:
And as I mentioned I will be testing them on scrap wood first. I just want to make sure they are the right thing before I open them and am not able to return them any more.
Im also thinking Im going to pick up the black dye from woodessence.com, so thanks for the link.
