Waiting on the velocity body.

Upper right, or lower right?  :icon_biggrin:

I prefer the darker-highlighted one, whichever one that is.

Sorry.. the pic got flipped.  The top one is the one I had on the right. :redflag:

 

[Cyrus Gold]

Working on a burst... Kind of small board to get it right, but here's my first attempt.

 

[Logrinn]

Beautiful. Love that intense color!

 

[Cyrus Gold]

:headbang4:I still have another round/can of nitro to go... then wait a month to finish and assemble, but here is progress so far.

 

[Cagey]

Are you sanding between coats? That finish looks awfully rough. Or, maybe it's just the lighting?

 

[Cyrus Gold]

That's water on the left side... was getting sanding dust off and took a quick pic

 

[dmraco]

very nice job on the burst.

I am with Cagey...how many coats have you applied so far, on top of the burst that is?  You may want to sand with some 600 before the final coats.  careful not to burn thru to the burst.

It may be the lighting but it looks rough and the wood is REALLY absorbing the nitro.

 

[Cagey]

Ok.

You might want to get some naphtha for that duty. Water isn't really a good thing to have around wood, particularly wood you're going to be applying a finish to. Naphtha is great for a lotta things, and it's easy to come by. Even Lowe's sells it.

Thanks for the advice.. It's my first finishing job... That was the first two coats.  I will continue to work on it. Thanks again.

 

[Verne Bunsen]

It's my first finishing job...

I'd say you're doing a bang up job, it's looking great!

You've nailed an incredible color combo. 

 

[dmraco]

I cannot wait to see it finished.  The velocity bodies are great.  What color hardware are you doing?

 

[Cyrus Gold]

I have a chrome floyd.  I am waiting on buying the rest until I finish the body and give some thought.

It's finally hanging out with some friends.  EVH humbuckers Floyd rose trem Gibson conversion tele neck w abalone dots gotoh tuners... Soldering is a bit of a bugger.. those pot ground solders are a pain.  But she fired up and screams... I'm pretty happy with it.

Looks goooood! Nice work.

 

[BigSteve22]

Cool beans! Great looking axe, congrats!  :headbang:

 

[Logrinn]

A nice combo!
