After spending a minute trying to use the battery drill and buffer pad I got the real buffer out. Tired of playing around. Talk about something that will make a projectile out of anything... -

I bought Rage for Order at a grocery store a few weeks after it came out. It is still one of my favorite albums. I saw them for the first time on Operation on the And justice for all... tour. What a show. No one booed at that show. \m/ Now hopefully I can wrap these projects up soon so I can move on to some new stuff. -

For some reason Arch always gets that comparison. For me he is somewhere closer to Halford and Tate. Again I struggle with his insistence on blowing through his full range on every line but on this album he seems to be better about staying in the scope of the music. For me the two albums that started American Prog Metal were Queensryche "Rage for Order" and Fates Warning "Awaken the Guardian", I believe Dream Theater was heavily influenced by both. -

Prolly more Bull Frog than dragon at this point. It has the same 5' charm to it. if you get closer than 5' you can see its warts. -

I sanded and buffed the bodies today but the lacquer is still kinda soft and I can't get the fine scratches out. I am going to give them another two weeks and see. This is the decal paper. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076VFHV1F Just use Inkscape https://inkscape.org to make up your logos. Print. Apply. I put a coat of shellac first to protect the toner from the lacquer. -

I have to take the keys off to clear overtop the decals. The hipshot lockers are a pain in the arse because of the large locker getting in the way of the screwdriver. So over to the belt sander and we fix up the #1 philips bit. -

Decal time. These are new Laser Printer Decals. Much thinner than the old ink jet ones I used to use. This looks stupid but it is a stupid guitar so it is fine. -

Back to this stupid Dragon Burst. Sanded a the old green back a bit. Mixed up some new green shot that. Then grabbed some black I had left over from a LP I did. Shot the green. Then carefully blacked the edges. It helped cover up all the funky joins of the random woods. -

Now I am going to try a Dragon Burst. I have never really pulled this off before (mostly because I rarely do color). It starts with Lemon yellow. -

Had to pull a run out of this one. Used the Dan Erlewine razor blade and tape trick. I learned a lot watching his videos and reading his articles. -
