Hmm... Interesting. The decal is already in place so I might settle for this for now. Maybe give it a go in the tan studio...the older brother wrote: If you know someone with an air compressor I can get you the tint and send it to you (it's just a small plastic bottle) - so you can mix and spray the (tinted) clear yourself.
a decent spray gun and a small compressor ends within 1000 SEK too....
Thanks anyway. Good to know in the future though...

Today I went ahead and hook up some of the ground wires and gazier points.
Notice Doug's "Buildup of a 1963 Jaguar" in the backround
It's priceless as a reference Doug!!!

Ground wire:
Tailpiece wire stapled and PG-shield wire from the bridge PU cavity:
I have the rhythm brass plate in the mail so I'll be putting that in soon. Got hold of a pair of NOS pickup rubber mounts!!!

Great work there!
Someone knows where I can find the nearest woodchipper to throw my pieces of junk into?

Jazz you always have the sexiest guitars
It's not about the gear! It's about you, your hands, your imagination, your feelings.

I noticed that you did your screw holes after the paint, is there any advantage to this instead of drilling them first?

If you get water in the screwholes while wetsanding the body - the wood around the holes might get raised.davidgoerndt wrote: I noticed that you did your screw holes after the paint, is there any advantage to this instead of drilling them first?
On the other hand - drilling holes after paintjob might cause paint to chip....
