I won't be getting a strat for awhile... if I do get one, it will probably be a fat strat.

I'll stick to Jackson for now.

Do the matching headstock Cato!!!

That axe is soooooo sweet!!!

Seriously, plain headstocks (although cool) are a dime a dozen. Especially with the paintjob you've done... A matching headstock would be the ultimate!!! IMHO

who are still talking about the matching headstock?
forget it.

I finished coating the body with clear lacquer last week and left the body untouched for a few days.

and now I'm sanding it with water...

[jhale667]

It's going to look cool...

Yes, americans are like elephants, we never forget...

So what's up with the "GAYELVIS" ??

I'm flattered...

But I like women...

Hey Cato, you got any Jap sisters ??

[Panamark]

Looks cool Cato, how are you planning on touching
up the bit where you over-sanded ? Another coat ??

Knackered is tired Unca E.. We say that in Oz too..
I think our English mates do too...

[Cato]

it was a day off. I was working on this all day because it was a day off. so, I am knackered more than yesterday.


I polished it up with liquid compounds. I used 3 different types.




it's now shiny.




I won't fix the point I sanded too much. it is that inconspicuous.

elvis is gay

Cato, that finish is fuckin' awesome!!! Exactly, what color is it? I mean it's got the Surf-Greenish hue but still different. Also, do the matching headstock...

Anyway, beautiful work there.

That epoxy took to the paint and it looks great!

DANG that is one sweet looking axe...More pics!

[Cato]

this project is about to finish soon...
