Hello, big guitar. Meet my little fingers.

I'm having a nice relaxing Sunday. No chores, just fun. I'm going to take a ride in my new neighbors hot rod for the first time. It weighs 1800lbs and has ~750hp. He's going to dyno it this week to see exactly how much horsepower and torque it has at the rear wheels. I wonder if he'll let me drive it. Yeehaa!

I'll get my Strat time in too. I've stuck to my practice/playing plan and have played every day for three weeks.

Congrats on your 47. Roll tide. The flags getting a workout, that's for sure. We really didn't go to Taco Bell.

Going to go for a walk, then the store, and put in some bass time, while trying to catch up on some movies I have recorded.

Thanks, Glenn. I was thinking your wedding photos and ours probably have the same funky faded look. In mine I had that greasy hair look.

Nothing special planned for today. My son did chores all weekend so the house is in good shape. I could do a load of laundry, but that's not very exciting.

Planning on going for a walk.

Layed down the 2nd coat of sealer this afternoon. The 1st coat last touch up spray spit over both pieces ended up scuff sanding both pieces. Decided after waiting 24hrs for the 1st coat to dry thoroughly that my kit wood is not anyway near a 5a piece, so it will be the best I can do with it. Not gonna loose any sleep over the small stuff.
I did make the decision to French over the dye on the front, shellac buttons on the way. So, I'll have nitro on the neck-satin and back-gloss. It may look interesting, but that's the new plan-subject to change.

Happy anniversaries to those of you having them.

Do you mean satin on the back of the neck? I certainly appreciate it on the neck, but you may find it less so, and plenty here have had gloss necks for some time.

We went for a walk and and got some KFC, which I don't think we've had in about a year. I have to say, it was pretty damned good, but something I couldn't have all of the time, otherwise, I'd have to increase the walk an extra 6 miles a day. Put some time in on the violin bass, too.

Yes, I'm going to satin finish the neck and gloss the back body. My strat has satin, my tele has gloss-poly and I have a heritage hollow body that has gloss-nitro. Either is fine w/ me for playing, I think the gloss may dry a little harder. Like anything w/ this project I'm kinda goin w/ the flow-adjusting on the fly abit, it may end up being all gloss.

Much like I planned on using the tinted aged amber nitro on the 1st couple coats after the sealer, but didn't like that on the sample. Even thought of using it as a sealer but then decided it may allow more dye bleeding over time and making it appear cloudy.
Here is a shot of the neck dyed, filled and sealed:

After dinner, I did a little preventive maintenance on my pistols.

Didn't get much of a walk in today, other than going to the grocery store to pick up something for dinner, because it started to rain, but I did get in some bass time with the violin bass, and watched a movie.

Looks like you’re well on your way. Thanks, for the photo. That’s the crazy thing about wood. No matter how you try, wood has a natural reaction of it’s own that allows you some control, but it certainly is temperamental at times. It’s a thing of beauty when calculated finishes work out better than expected, nice if they meet expectations, and disappointing when they don’t. I find it’s a downer when you’re forced to regroup, and then you look at what options are left after a process has left you with a less than desired start off point from which the hopeful fix is to be applied. I guess that’s why they invented paint, and why you may find other previous unexpected finishes beneath some of those painted axes hanging from the music store walls.
