The body is on day 29 of a 45 day curing process. (I just randomly chose 45 days) While I was waiting I figured I would finish the neck so here it is:
I used the ReRanch neck amber. At first I thought it was too yellow but it's grown on me and I like it now. I sanded with 600, 800, 1500, and 2000 grit then polished with 3M Finesse It and Scratch X. Flamey:
I had a couple sand throughs that I sort-of fixed. Lookit that mirror shine. Much better than my Tele Deluxe practice job.
Looks pretty good right? Do you foresee any problems? I didn't. (Obviously) Take a closer look:
The string tree covers the decal. Dammit. While not a major problem on function, aesthetically it looks dumb. And with my extreme frustration of putting in all that work on the neck only to have it come out not how I wanted I wasn't paying attention and screwed in the string tree right into the finish. Bah! On the plus side, look how sparklie it came out.
I also put the tuners in.
