It has a new neck but he got a pickup gig so old one goes back til tomorrow because of travel time today.
Base coat was semi-gloss white as a clogging coat so it wouldn't drink sandable primer. Ran a whole can of the sandable primer over it and blocked that out then a can of the color in 4 apps, then clear in 4 apps, 400-600-0000 wool then hand polishing. Needs a couple days to really shine it up. The film thickness of the color and clear is really nice. I wish it had been a good body to start with. Best ever can job. Looks nice and feels great.

I don't have patience for them either. But I'm legally obligated to tolerate them nonetheless. That creates internal conflict which churns up malevolent flights of fantasy deep in the Id recesses of my psyche. Support Live Music? Oh yeah, that's an oxymoron if there ever was one.Reeltarded wrote:He's a jukebox for the kinds of drunks I wouldn't have the patience for.

And
Broken truss - wtf - it deserves better.
