Hi all!
This is my first post. Don't know why I didn't sign up earlier...
So, about 8 years ago I bought this Warmoth body of the showcase and put a Fender mex fretless neck on it. Got tired of that so... bought an awesome maple neck from the showcase as well just last month and now I'm in the process of lacquering both. (originally did the body with tung oil)
It will have Bartolini J1, switching to all black hardware; vintage Schaller tuners & and a Gotoh 201 bridge. Maybe, just maybe, I'll throw in a Sadowsky preamp.
I'm somewhat of an beginner when it comes to wood finishing, etc. Never worked with lacquer... I purchased a local product (from Spain) and I'm actually wiping it on the "vintage" way(or whatever it's called). I'm still having second thoughts about not spraying it on. See the results for your self. I've done like 7 or 8 coats on the body and sanding in between hoping to fill up the grain and try to get the mirror finish afterwards.
Pics below. What do you think!?
Looking forward to your feedback!!! :toothy12:
