finnaly got the time... sooo buisy... to send my baby out to my mechanic to clear the body... i think he could do a way better job than i could even attempt to do.... here is an updated pic pre clear
-
too many..lol all in all i guess about 5+ with a coat ontop of that to touch it up/ even it out it want from a light almost watermellon color.. to purple... to deep purple (lots of blue in mixture) to black to darken up the edges.. so i guess it was a 4 stage burst.. i plan to put another coat of vintage amber( realy light coat) over it all to bring out the wood color.. and age it abit.. then off to clear it agaon thanks for all responces
-
wow took forever to get some time to work on here but here she is she still needs some touch ups.. and lots and lots of clear but so far so good

i agree photo shop did the burs around the hard wear.. i defiantly will NOT be doing that also i will start of with a light honey color to enhance the wood color and grain then doing the purple and black burst.. im really shooting for the color i have shown on the musicman... hopefully i will be ordering the lacquer and lacquer die from stew mac some time this week and start coloring it next school vacation.. hopefully before if i can find the time. thank you all for your support.. im truly a newbie at this wood finishing thing.. so i really appreciate all of the advice

finnaly got some time and got the binding done with a cote of primer its easy to see imperfections now but im gettin good at filling them and sanding them down lol next step is to get rid of the wrinkles in the top then hopefully paint in a couple of weeks.. just need to order the lacqure another photoshop mock up.. i was board waiting for primer to dry,,lol i also picked up a tremol-no.. all i need now is an edge pro and im ready to go!!

im realy excited i just got in the pearloid inlay and just waiting on my buddy to give me a hand to rout it out. my buddy also got a deal with Musicians friend to get 20% off of what ever he orderd so i took advantage of that and sent away for the pick ups.. another Mic for the mesa and the capo iv had my eyes on!! i saved $54.. it made a cheep man happy lol cant wait to get color on her!! also when should i tend to the wrinkles in the veneer?? and whats the safest way to do it without damaging or coloring it?? is the spot baking method the best?? for bear wood?
-
this is the colors iv decided on but witha two stage burst from black to purple to natural.. can anyone tell if this is just a nitro finish or if its an oil finish?? cause i deffinately want my top to pop like this one
-
still questioning on the color wether to make it look like the Magma build or something else like a multi colored fade... either way its starting to come along i just ordered the pealoid binding and the pickups.. AirNorton and Steve Special.. never used them but excited to try them out
