Cheers guys. I'm having fun with this.
Not sure about the fingerboard yet (no frets!). I'll probably vacuum down a sandwich of a couple of layers of 1mm maple with some carbon or kevlar in between after it's radiused. That oughta hold it all in!
The entire guitar is to be finished including the fingerboard so it can be as ugly as sin before it's covered up.
That'll have to be done last though because other stuff will be difficult if the guitar "rocks" on the radius.
I've got some 0.1mm black flake (sparkle) for the finish. Bucko's got me tempted to throw in just a sprinkling of holographic in there too - but I saw a surfboard a few weeks back with a simply stunning finish that I'm trying to replicate.
Experiments will have to be done (might do one today) to try to replicate it.
