[musickey]

[Damian B]

goddamn that thing is gorgeous.

 

[STINNETT]

The color looks a little different under these lights...

I've started the oiling process, several more coats to go.

Oh, except to ask - you're oiling it as a finish all the way around, then? (not spraying a clearcoat?)

 

[egan.]

rad

 

[STINNETT]

Yes, the whole thing is just getting oiled.

 

[Chryst Krispies]

I WANT THAT GUITAR!!!!!!!

THAT'S LIKE MY DREAM GUITAR DUDE!!!!

 

[Damian B]

Sexy as fucking hell.

Imagine Wicher's custom Angelus or the Angelus HGS... flame top w/semi-gloss matte finish, not lacquer. that's what I'm going for here.



Will... words escape me as well. One of the most gorgeous guitars I've seen pictures of - I'm gonna be scared to play this thing!

 

[AudioPhile777]

I'm gonna be scared to play this thing!

Ok, call me when you get it, I'll play this sum-a-beeech... haha

 

[Harry Hughes]

That is such a gorgeous guitar that's it's simply disgusting

I had some issues with the finish. The oil was making the dye bleed a little on to the unstained areas. Had to strip the finish back down and take a different approach. I was also unhappy with the way the oil was giving too much of an amber tint to the green color. I've since redyed the top using a different shade and I'm much happier with it.

I was planning to just post pics after I had the thing all buttoned up, but here is a pic just after applying a fresh coat of oil (obviously still wet).

Sorry for the delay.

Wow, looks great...I'm sure it was worth the extra effort. Thanks for the update!

Hot. Care if I PM you to ask you questions about finishing?
