Thanks guys. Christian, any chance you can point out specific products? I have a look at the Meguiars (I presume that's the one you meant) on Amazon but they do a lot of different products.
In real life, the burst is a bit uneven in places but it looks better than I expected. In my mind before I started, the blue was a bit lighter and the purple was more purple rather than the deep blue that it's turned out, but the choice of available colours isn't great and I'm not complaining about how it's turned out. I would say that the colours shown on the websites bear little resemblance to they end result, but I guess that's because of the layers and the different number of coats, the wood beneath them etc.
And yes, I'm taking my time and going to leave the neck and body to dry for a good couple of weeks now, without anything else being done to them.
After I've put the guitar together and assuming that I will be able to get it working, I might use it as a project guitar for some other experiments, such as changing the pickups or replacing the pick guard. Again, the goal will not be so much to create a killer guitar as just to gain experience in doing these things. |
