OH, I forgot to mention I have been working on my strat, that goes with the flamed maple pickguard mentioned in posts below. I have some pictures of it in progress with the sanding sealer before the color. I went with a cool looking blue with some metallic in it. This is where it gets a bit silly. I purchased a new Fuji Spray turbine system and went to town spraying the guitar. Not being used to this system I went a little heavy on the color coats and have some sag. It is also has a fair bit of orange peel, and I accidentally touched it so the color smudged a bit on the upper horn. Geez, after saying all that I realize I need to strip it and redue it. I was thinking because It was just for me it would be OK to leave it as is but like I say, after typing this I think I have to re finish it properly. Plus it will give me more practice with this spray setup. Anyway, here are a few pics of the guitar with the sanding sealer. I will post some of the crappy paint job once I take some. I have no problem admitting I'm not perfect, and it may help people realize they don't have to be either. but I strive for perfect when I build things, and if I'm not happy with the result, it's best to start over instead of just saying.....Ah.....Good enough, it's just for me. Does that make sense??
