I don't get the toggle switch position on the stock ones. "Let's put it in the most easily bumped spot!" _________________ Congratulations! Your Punkacc9 evolved into Awstin. |

Cooterfinger is going to try to get it more like the Mosrite/Univox look. As far as the carve goes.

Got the tuners and trees off and sanded the headstock to get it ready for the new decal. I think it will look pretty cool.

Everything came off ok. I am going to replace all the cheap little screws. One of the tuner screws head was stripped, but I got lucky using my dremel to carve a line in the top and got it out with a flat head screw driver. It is looking great! Just need to work on clear coats now. |

Neck is curing now. I will give it a week or so before I knock the gloss back with steel wool or my fine sand paper to be satin like the rest of the neck. After that I can put all the hardware back on.

Body came in today! Super psyched. I did some light sanding in some areas and then mixed up some white milk paint and got to work on my first brush on coat. I am using a foam brush and 3:1 thinned paint. I am hoping to have a whitewash/blonde finish when I am done. First coat went on pretty easy. This stuff seems to work well.

Second coat of milk paint on the front. Looking more even. I will let it dry overnight to lightly sand tomorrow and do a third final color wash. Then I will wait a day and start spraying clear over it.

Last coat on the front and back. I will check it this afternoon after work. Not sure if I should seal it or use the clear to seal it. I don't want to risk sanding though.
