Thanks for the advice ! And it's really interesting to follow your progress.
Hope to see a picture of you guitar when it's completed.

Looking good so far, Niki. Are you planning to clearcoat on top?

And are you going to weigh the finished body and tell us the final figure?

Cheers - C

Hey, what?

the paint is horrible its not so apparent on the frst layer but on the 2nd and 3rd pass it got darker and turned into a very sickly hospital ward blue. i thought polishing would sort it but after 2 coats of lacquer with a serious polish inbetween it became apparent it wouldnt. Im considering sanding it again tommorow and going down halfords for some car paint. Considered getting a new finished body but cant find a 2"1/32 neck socket anywhere in the world. Unusual size i know, its a very narrow neck.

Ok well here it is painted hanging and drying at my mums. After a colour i didnt like, a damn good kicking out of frustration, several hours of filling and smoothing to get the damage hidden, another colour i didnt like. Here it is, The mexican body from september painted in my choice of blue.









Ceri thanks for salvaging that body of yours and inspiring me.

Believe it or not I'm partially colour blind. (like the way I spelled color?) but is your paint similar to Ceri's ? Looks good though! We need plenty of pics.

Ceri is falling down on the job. I thought we agreed to at least weekly drying pics.

What? no Hello Ceri or Hello Orvilleowner sign?

How do we dare believe THIS story without a sign?

Quite similar. I'm just trying to get that daphne blue 'color/colour' It was my original choice way back in june/july. Hop as you know the way we as individuals perceive color is a topic of endless debate. I scrapped the first respray because to my eye it started to grey. Everyone around me kept saying they couldnt see it. I dont think they were wrong they just didnt know what i wanted or didnt see the colour the same way.

That's true Big O. Think he's trying to pull a wool over our eyes?

Best i can do for my mums absence of writing implements.



Grainy horrible mobilephone secondary camera with a super arched eyebrow. Check the eyebrow against my myspace photo if you dont believe its me. It took a lot of musclework over many years and a condesending attitude towards people, to develop that arch.

I'd say the arch on that brow is almost as tall as the rock Ceri stood beside at Stonehenge... Nice color on the guitar Niki. I like daphne blue. Thought about getting a 57 reissue in that color but I'm not fond of the necks on those guitars.
