I’ve had quite a problem getting the lacquer to adhere to the surface of the fretboard. However, I’ve got a good base coat on now. Once it’s good and dry I’ll use some fine “wet and dry” to blend it back to get a nice flat surface and put another half-dozen coats on.
While I’m waiting for some more lacquer I re-wired the pickups where needed. To keep the costs down I’ve cleaned the pots and switch rather than replacing them.
With that done the body is just about complete.
Keep watching, more to follow….
