Re: Crusty Builds A Les Paul (How Not To Build A Guitar....)
My first guitar was a Stella acoustic I got second-hand in England about 1966/7 (I was 10 or 11). Knowing nothing about music, i loved it for it's look ... kinda like a campfire guitar, but the red and the black seemed to be like actually looking into an open fire ... deep red glowing embers and black charcoal maybe.
I still have the old Stella, and the impact of how the look of that guitar first affected me is still strong ; I wonder if you can see a recurring theme in this pic, hehehehe

Believe me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.

Finally, yesterday provided the right weather, all the preparations were as good as they were going to get and i was able to shoot two good coats of clear and finish them off with a coat of almost straight thinners. So that's the end of the spraying.
I took some pics late yesterday afternoon. I wasn't happy with them, so i took some more this morning (Friday) and i wasn't happy with them either. Later i took some more and got better results. Here's what she looks like now .....
