@koendb I still think it’s definitely harder to spray a guitar (or anything) with rattle cans than it is with a spray gun I think it s something I will probably invest time and money in at a certain ...

@koendb What? Where? @mattbeels made perfect sense? I’m still looking. Where? LOL ! 🤣

Does that make sense? That makes perfect sense @mattbeels 🙂

If the weather doesn’t allow, you will have to wait unless you have an indoor space you can use. Nitro is one of those paints that actually melts together when you spray new paint onto old paint so yo...

Oh I forgot to mention, but I sanded the runout after 1.5 hours, before proceeding to the next layer

3 coats of primer today, each with about 1.5 hours in between, lightly sanded with 400 in between just to make sure to remove dust particles and a bit more sanding on two spots that I still found.Agai...

@mikeyrjiom Wow! 'Nice job' would be an understatement. What paints and lacquer did you use? I wanted to ask the same question 🙂

@eddie6string that looks like its going to be a great looking guitar. I like it

Are you painting or clear coating the neck for this guitar? @boo No, I put a few coats of shellac on the neck.

So long as it is a two part filler, it has a hardener (catalyst). Yep it is, however, I will stick with the filler I have now and train my patience 😉

That looks pretty darn good to me @peebee!

time required to do the fretwork and set-up = 2 days. There was a time , not that long ago, where my fretwork looked like my guitar body right now 🙄

Use a small block to wrap the sandpapers around, if you just use it with your fingers, you will be sanding grooves into it all instead of keeping it flat. The devil is in the details! This what I did...

I’ll dig it out and take a picture. @boo You mean something like this? Attachment : IMG_20210320_110403618.jpg

Where abouts in the world do you reside I live in Belgium

@boo I am so grateful that you take so much time to explain in detail, even repeat things to make me fully aware of what I should be doing. I admire your dedication and patience

@boo it is rustins mahogany grain filler. The instructions on the can says : leave overnight to harden

Right, so I've now also learned that this is a job better suited for during daytime, as now i can see more little nicks and dents.My guitar seems to have measles now 😉 Should this dry overnight? or sh...

@Boo Thanks for so much detailed explanation, seriously appreciated! So I started by sanding it down with 400, as I did not have any 320 left, in some spots I went through the primer, but that s ok. ...

Today finally the weather conditions where good enough to start on finishing my latest built.There seems to be some sort of a consensus that humidity is more important then temperature to decide if t...
