The plan for paint begins tonight. First thing is a wash coat of 50% nitro cellulose lacquer and 50% lacquer thinner.

I had 1oz and 2oz portion cups, so I mixed up 4oz. The body drank 2oz.

I put screws into the body to stand it off the bench. One in the pocket and one where the pick guard will cover the hole that will remain after I paint.

The third I put into the neck stick.

I'll let that cure until Friday. Then I'll get a few coats of sanding sealer on it and let that cure for a week.

Then color, then the lacquer. This thread will show down now....

At least for this guitar
