ill be generally making this better as i go. with new humbuckers and so on.. as and when i can afford.
as for the guitar, iv left it alone because of the lack of heating in my dads shed.. but eventually im going to get back on the case and sand all my rubbish painting down to the wood and paint it properly with my spraygun.
happy days :D

iv always loved the look of them. im sure its a personal thing. i was going to go out and sand my guitar right down today but i spent 2 or 3 hours trying to recover the pictures from my broken pc. i eventually managed it but by then there was no time to do guitar plus i couldnt really be bothered to be honest. ill try to do some tomorrow hopefully.

yeah im sticking a sticker or 2 on it, then sticking a thick laquer on it. im also finishing the neck in tinted laquer for the retro look. then bunging it back together with some fancy pickups probably.

Be Careful, Lacquer will almost certainly destroy most stickers or decals
