Fretted neck:

LOL.... love it. Mosrite fret markers are sexy..... and you really need to know the fret board to play with them because you can't follow the dots to know where you are... they're too small to see with the guitar hanging on a strap over your belly.

Here we go,
First a base coat/sanding sealer

"Surf Blonde" (AKA "vintage snot green"):

this is the slightly yellowed clear:

The grain is showing when you look real close just like a blonde tele.

 

[marcusnieman]

Love it..... :wink:

Thanks marcus, it starting to look lickalicious ain't it? Too bad the vibrato is taking so long to arrive... Oigun built a couple guitars in the meantime...

I'm just fascinated by this project. Great work!

Oigun is having trouble getting a sheet of decal paper printed. We have a headstock logo for the 'Mosrite' build and Oigun has some decal paper for laserjet. His own printer chewed up a sheet and died, the laserjet a printshop in the neighborhood has (or had) did the same. Inkjet printing won't work, lines will blotch.
Anyone got a suggestion?

 

[marcusnieman]

****, that looks fine.

 

[JuniorEnthousiast]

To be finished soon! M3*California reported the vibrato in the mail, FedEx say they'll be here tomorrow late afternoon.
Oigun reported the decal printed.
Droolfest coming.

Wow. Looks stunning, especially the tremolo. How does it play?
