She is 95% complete.Waiting for strings and a logo. Ive also posted a pic of the firebird guitar that inspired me.

very good in fact. Any chance of some bigger pics?

whats left to do? why no strings?

[Redbird]

Wow that turned out really nice.

I agree with Jules some better pics are needed. Maybe some daylight pics?

[shadowcastaz]

Im gonna go see my logo lady today . I used some strings on another project so I have to get some others.I'll try to get some daylight pics when we get some sun :lol: On a scale of 10 the finish is about a 7.,but Im my biggest critic. I also got my Hobbit Ho done and I knocked it over and one of my pets knocked it over and chipped/scratched the front. Im gonna play her for a while and take 'er apart and re fin. Frustrating but fun. Later and thanx,M

I was totally frustrated with the reranch nitro Gold.I found a auto touch-up paint site and I got some Pelham blue( Isuzu blue from '90's). Then aged it with tinted nitro. Pretty cool. I may use the auto paint again because it was very user friendly.Here is link.

i'd love to try reranch - they won't ship to the UK, and AFAIK there is no equivalent product available here. (unless anyone knows otherwise?)

I really would like to try my hand at finishing - nothing too valuable of course - but I think i'd have a greater sense of acheivement if I could do that part myself

Hey Jules, there are some paint places local to us that might be able to help you out. I'll give you details next time I see you.

I've done some finishing myself on guitars and a car, it's not easy but with practice and the right epuipment you can get good results.
