Check in your paint stores or lumber stores for a product called DEFT. It is lacquer in an aerosol can. It is not keep in the same place with aerosol enamel or polyurethane. It is Nitrocellulose Lacquer. It contains Cellulose Nitrate. Check the contents.

Looking good!

How did it go with the dead neck pickup?
Someone knows where I can find the nearest woodchipper to throw my pieces of junk into?

right around the time i started exploring this forum - that was EXACTLY the project i had in mind...  :?  :-*  8)

then i started seeing that there were more 'offset projecteers' like me, and my imagination went wild with all of the possibilites.

i still think i might build a black n gold guard JM someday...  :)

i dunno if it will look as awesome as yours does tho!  :'(  ;D  :-*
