The guitar is back from the paint shop. The red paint still need some extra time to harden.
It's not easy to sit still and don't work on the guitar for the next 10 days or so.
But I can't stop watching the contours and thinking about what it will look and sound like when it's ready.
Fitting all the parts will be a task do do very carefully. Soldering the pickup wiring to the switch will also be kinda difficult. That hot soldering tip so close to the beautyful painted body. Scars and marks are quickly made...
When the guitar was away for the paintjob, I made a padouck fretboard with a brass insert. I looks cool and got a special ringing sound when I tap it. It made me curious. It would be so great to use it for my next building project: a bluesbender/brassrail inspired guitar. Not an exact replica because I've never seen one before.
So far so good.
