Competition Stripes

[Tonar8352]

I just pulled tape on the stripes today and have to let it set over night to get some clear on it but it's looking pretty good.  The ghosting is residue from the tape that will be wiped off with benzene and it should look pretty killer after a few coats of clear.

Great! But be carefull with Benzene, this cr@p is causes cancer like hell! I'm sure you know it, but never is to much to say safety words

 

[Cagey]

Life causes cancer. Not that one should tempt fate, but most hazards are dramatically overblown.

Tonar, do you do any kind of sanding to take the transition (to the touch) of the lines out?

 

[Jusatele]

Ok now I am jonesing for a comp mustang like the one I had in the 60s

Looks great Tonar

 

[Steve_Karl]

That's pretty slick!

 

[jay4321]

Tonar what color do you call that?

 

[Tonar8352]

Wow this thing looks great. It is Lake Placid Blue with Sonic Blue on the stripes. Here it is with the first coat of clear melting it all together. I need another guitar like a hole in the head but this is pretty tempting.

Yes there will be sanding done to make the feel of the lines less apparent but since this is lacquer they will not be buried like the ones Fender did with the thick poly.

Wow this thing looks great.

No kidding. That's sweet. I've never really wanted a copy of that body style, but you're turning my head.

Wow this thing looks great.

I was very surprised at how comfortable that body shape is.  Even with a heavy neck, no dive and very comfy.  Of course Mr Tonar makes it a lot easier to like all of these body styles with the handiwork he adds.
