    I've done a lot of work on this over the last couple of weeks. Here is where I am with a mock-up of the final guitar. All I have left is to finish wiring the pickguard (waiting on a replacement for a defective pickup), install the inserts in the neck (waiting for a friend with a drill press)...

    Here’s the body with 3 coats of indigo ghost pearl and one coat of clear.

    Here are the first 2 coats of the ghost indigo, really happy with the result so far. Still deciding if I want a third coat or if it is time to proceed to clear.

    Thanks, I’ve been wrestling with the white base coat(s). I finally got it to the point where I am ready to spray the ghost pearl. I just need 1 more level sand with 600 and then the pearl goes on. I’ll post a pic of that once it is satisfactory. The last bits of the parts are arriving soon. I am...

    Found a couple sheets of 320 and I was able to level sand the primer and spray color. Here is the body with three coats of white.

    I ran out of sandpaper today  :doh:. I finished spraying the primer and got several coats of clear on the neck. Sandpaper from Stewmac arrives on Thursday. So, until then....

    One coat of primer on the body, and two coats of lacquer on the neck. I sprayed the lacquer a little too thick, so I have some runs to sand down before I continue with the neck. I’m waiting for custom decals of my signature (a la PRS) to arrive, so no rush on the neck. The front of my headstock...

    She is quire skillful, as are the four others (which happen to be her pups.... they’re like 6 years old, so not pups). This one is Sienna. We call her Si Si.

    Can Warmoth Compare to Prebuilt?

    Just about every iconic guitar is a partscaster. Most professional musicians have modded one aspect or another of every production guitar out there. That is why so many signature models exist. This is the evidence for partscasters being as good/better than production guitars.

    Created a spray jig to hold the body and neck out of some scrap 1x6 and 2x6.

    Yes. It also has several mineral streaks which are really cool. Not cool enough to reconsider the ghost pearl opaque finish, but really cool none the less.

    Got the body, neck and parts from Warmoth yesterday. Got everything sanded and masked for spraying, rolled the fretboard edges, and test fit everything. So far, so good.

    It's shipped!

    My order is shipping this week as well. Warmoth are out of white switch tips and chrome Strat jack plates. They quoted 8-12 weeks to wait for them. I said to send what they have. Fortunately, the switch I bought came with the tip, and I have a jack plate laying around.
