Yeah, at first I didn't like that stripe, then I did, then I put a third coat on it. :lol: I don't want it to be a solid color, but have a little grain show through.
This thing took forever to dry completely, but I was finally able to hit it with the first coat of clear yesterday. Now to wait a few days, brown-paper-bag it and do it again. I also did the back and sides in black, which I think turned out pretty cool. My lack of photography skills don't do it justice. Although, I did booger up the back of one of the horns... oh well. just happy to finally make some progress.
Love that color, especially the light streak. It's too bad they don't make a 6-string soapbar that would drop right into that route. Would look cool a la Moog Guitar

Thanks Randy. I got a set of chrome poled Invaders for it, figuring if was going old school metal, might as well go all in. Figured the chrome would pop against the dark blues, so chrome pups, rings, knobs, etc.
(This is an older pic from when it was still drying)
Same. I've been over the Invader for years now, but man it looks so cool. :lol: Excited to put this thing back together soon. Hopefully by the end of the month. :yesway:
Finally putting this back together. Didn't turn out nearly as cool as I'd hoped, but it's my first total refinish, so mistakes were made and, well, yeah...
Thanks - yeah, I dig how the chrome Invaders pop against the blue - now if I could just stop seeing all the imperfections. :lol:
