Hi mates, thanks for comments and watching, hope you enjoy my thread.

First day I works on guitar about two hour, next day 8, yesterday and today about one hour. Without coffe, only with mineral water and orange juice.
I don´t forget eat and sleep. don't worry, I sleep well :-)

Radius jig is my design, I joined ideas from Grizzly and LMII radius jig. I can adjust radius from 5" to 16" with fine tune....

I'm liking snakeheads more and more now-a-days.

And of course, killer light speed work!

Pictures from finishing:
Yesterday I did spray Whiteburst on first coat white lacquer, today few coats clear nitro











one layer Yellowish lacquer on the neck looks more vintage

Wow, can I have all your leftover days once you're done?
Great job. Not only fast, but very well built as well.

I love that see-thru finish. Do you think I could accomplish that with rattle cans? I'm thinking:

1. Spray on wood/grain sealer
2. Real light color passes to tint
3. Followed by Minwax spray poly

Me loves the Snakehead! When you finish you will be shown the official handshake and be welcomed into the Snakehead Club! Well done!

You can try it on scrap wood, I hope will work.
On my Snakehead was two or three layer sealer, one thin layer white, clear lacquer, white-burst and three or four coat clear lacquer, dry sanding between each coat
