  1. so far holding strings fine. sounds amazing.
  2. getting ready to apply strings and would like to clean up the fretboard. Since its painted aluminum, is there a special paint for it? Its got some scratches sowing the metal underneath.
  3. all done, hopeffully... waiting until march to string it though.
  4. It wasn't the ONLY thing we played. lots of country and some early eagles stuff.
  5. ha, yeah, i had some leftover metallic blue left so i sanded down until it started to peek through and will re-coat the clear starting today, covered up the cracks but I expect theyll come back.
  6. the # of underlying cracks are multiplying. now about 12. I think i'll have no choice but to leave them and just finish it up. Already sanded a lot of the top clear down and they still show at a certain angle so must be at the metallic or white layers. I guess it'll just add character.
  7. surface crack in last layer on bottom appeared, runs from bottom to bridge. will wet sand to 400 and try again..
  8. final coat tonight. there were lots of runs and uneven coats it kind of lends itself to the "liquid metallic" look i was going for. I'll wait a month and then test it with strings, then decide whether or not to sand/buff, leave it, or make it a decoration.
  9. do people ever not sand/buff lacquer finishes? Most of the top seems like glass now.
  10. nevermind, someone took it before i could nab it. thanks though.
  11. Local CL has a celebrity with a cracked bridge for $40. I imagine it would cost more than its worth to repair but I kinda like repairing ovations now. Any ideas?
  12. as i've learned recently, sometimes its what you learn from the process that outweighs the cost of the repair.
  13. deciding to leave the trim white (or off white as it is). latest..
