[Joedrc]

the only way I could be more jealous is if you owned a mustang too :P
this is turning out really well though, can't wait to see it finished, what colour are you thinking of using?

[ludobag1]

thanks, for the colour i think of sherwood green or some metalics finish
but i have serious gas of sparkle and i think it will be too hard to do without a airgun but i really love it
my next built isn't a mustang(and i really love stang ) but another offset
the first part who is the most important part is

[deadnotes]

where did you find the electric xii bridge?

Ohhhh. Electric XII. Can't wait for that one.

[ludobag1]

it is a custom part made by a friend ,i made recherche to have most of the size and it nearly close as we can but i haven't see a real XII (cause is nearly impossible to have and if you find one bridge complete is more than 300 bucks ever more i don't wanted to part a strato XII or venus XII)

[ludobag1]

my bridge arrived i think i must open a new thread soon

[ludobag1]

good news ans bad news
i have redo my contour



the neck were i made an big mistake





i have invert the beguin and the end of the heel result i have a big very big acces hight
i must rework this is very bad aera
the pickguard ready for some paint

and the worst ,like i work outside for sanding i am surprised by the rain and when i go inside i have hurt a table

even with iron steam the fiber doesn't want to arise they were cut then i put a litlle piece of wood and next time i will sand it
luckily it will be paint

[ludobag1]

i do more than i expect
rework of the neck heel



of the body

then sanding ,sanding and again sanding then sealer an resanding
a white pick


a white body


a flamed wood






everybody dry
primer ,varnish of neck and of the pickguard


the primer made something space
far is good



less far less good the seam reapair and there is some miss?





i can't find at autosupply the colurs i want and i don't do white cause white is tort but no

[ludobag1]

sanding is best friend of varnish


i think i sand more that i put varnish on
my paint chamber it helps to avoid a garage repaint

need a another can of primer ( but it beguin to look good )




another sanding and another coat




nice pics it serv nothing but is cool

[mgdesigns]

Indeed, one gotta love the look of that neck. What exactly did you use to finish it? or did I miss that?

[telepunch]
