Members newbuilder Posted August 8, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 8, 2009 Given the way it shifts from blue to purple, that's going to be quite striking, I think when you start dumping clear on it & everything comes to life. I am hoping that is what happens. I am starting to really dig it. I talked to Zemmy the other night and he said he likes it if I like it, and then I started to look at it differently. How are you this morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good. I did nothing exciting last night. Came home took a nap for an hour. Got up and ate a meatloaf sandwich from the wifes meatloaf on a great Wheat Berry bread. Got stoned with my wife, played back gammon, and watched an eppisode of Dexter. If you haven't seen Dexter, he is a serial killer that works for the police and only kills other killers, I love it. Every other Friday (next Friday which is also my 35th birthday) is our jam night. We have some folks over and me and my brother usually record some of it on his Mac.

Thanks on the color. I think you guys are right, some clear will really bring it out.Haven't done the headstock yet. It will probably be on Monday that I drill the studds and cut the headstock. The sides of the headstock were already cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members axegrinder Posted August 10, 2009 Members Share Posted August 10, 2009 I never posted in this thread. :poke:Hey be careful! That beast is gonna come to life when you get some clearcoat on.A couple questions if I missed:1. What solvent did you use for the dye mix? Water?2. What type of clear were you going to top it with (if you decided)?You may want to do a test piece to make sure the clear doesn't chemically react with the dye. I'd hate to see it turning pink or something. Also, FWIW, I once stained a guitar with a waterbased dye and found the dye to be delicate until it was clearcoated. It even reacted to sweat.

Members newbuilder Posted August 11, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 11, 2009 Thanks guys. We are alot closer to the color in my head on the sides and back.

Members newbuilder Posted August 11, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 11, 2009 Yummy. What security system are you using again?EG It is built mainly using Rat Terrier/Jack Russell mixes. They have the killer instinct and high pitched bitchiness to drive away even the hardiest theif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
