@russ Thanks, I hope so. I’ll box it up soon and get it on a plane back to Utah, USA. I’ll get my mate to take some pictures of when he has built it a...

Here’s a flyover to show the reflection.

And then I did some buffing with the machine that @darrenking made.

I also got this pink Strat sanded flat to 5000g, ready for buffing. This is how it looks at that stage, just before buffing.

After spending an hour or so on the buffer @darrenking made, I got it looking pretty good I think. One tip I will give is that you need to stay away f...

Right, I know a lot of these pictures may look the same but they are not, I assure you. I’m adding to the timeline to document all the stages. It’s al...

@robin It was actually quite similar and one that people have said before. It happens a lot actually and we don’t know why. Not to worry, it got here....

@darrenking Hi Darren, I use a 1.3mm tip with matching needle and air cap. 1.2mm and 1.4mm are acceptable too but make sure you have the right air cap...

@robin Just so you know Robin, you got the address wrong but my name and post code were correct so it got here. 😁🤘 Thanks again.

These arrived today in the post. Thanks very much @robin much appreciated. I’ll get it built up as soon as I’ve flow coated the paint job and polished...

Wow thanks @robin that would be great, thanks very much. Just a B500k I think. I was up in Lochgilphead a couple of weeks back, all around that region...

Yeah I see what you mean now, sorry. Mine is the 5mm and it’s great. I suspect the 2.5mm may be slower at removing material, more for fine detail. I c...

Do it @russ Just do it. Don’t think, just do it. 👍 Am i a bad influence? 🤣

Is it the 5mm or 2.5mm? 🤣 Good on ya, a great buy. Make sure you use the Mirka sanding discs and a shop vac with it. 👍

@rocknroller912 That song is highly amusing to me. Nice one. 👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@russ Thank you sir. 👍

I came back to this beast today to give it some more clear coat (flow coat). Again, I’ll leave it for a week before flattening and polishing.

@koendb I think I’ll just put the original chrome bridge back on and paint the pickup covers white pearl then. Thanks for the input. 👍

What this guy said. 🙄👆 I have one and they are a must have. 👍
