A sneak-peek for those that helped me

Mattayus · 09-01-2007, 04:06 PM

Seeing as you guys gave me loads of tech advice, here's a sneak peek at the project so far (full picstory/article on my website when i'm finished which will be about this time tomorrow!)

From just sanded...

To this!

You may think it looks tacky, but i just couldn't be bothered with another paintjob, so i wrapped it in gaffa tape instead! at least this way it's easy to remove if i want a paintjob in the future, i'm never sanding ever ever ever ever again!! i got no skin left on my fingers cos my power sander blew up half way through!
anyway, i'll post a link for when it's finished

Looks good to me! Well, except that little gap by the neck joint, but it's not huge. On stage it'll just look like a matte black V

Mattayus · 09-01-2007, 04:32 PM

no that's lighting, it's not a gap, it's just where the tape goes over another layer, but fucking hell well spotted!! lol, gonna have to take a dif picture now, thanks for the sharp eyes

I'm sure Jerich will love this finish

Grasshopper - you must sand with a power sander and not your fingers/hand.

kinda looks more like black duct tape to me....i've got a roll of black gaff sitting right here that doesn't look anything like that.

Mattayus · 09-01-2007, 07:21 PM

it's possible, can't remember. it's got a grid-like quality to it, it looks good anyway. the pics dont do it justice really, i'll have more soon. just put the new floyd on it, had to do some routing.
wirin the pups tomorrow, but for now - bed!

MerlinTKD · 09-01-2007, 07:38 PM

Wow, that look like it was a TON of work!

I like the tone of that wood... what is it, mahogany? Alder?

yeah, gaff tape is usually smoother, and more of a matte black than yours looks to be.
