I had a disaster when fitting hardware to the neck, the paint on the headstock peeled off, I guess it wouldn't stick to shellac... but I figured that the finish that's left still looks good and the flame isn't obscured by the lacquer so I decided to flake the rest of the finish off and leave it be, and I put on the decal again but this time it's protected with nothing more than one thin coat of shellac that's rubbed on. The decal on the back isn't protected at all...
The neck is koa, body is ash, planet wave tuner, graphite nut, Dimarzio Tone Zone/blue valvet x2 pickup, wilkinson tremolo....
