I can't really imagine how this will look. So I am interested in the results. _________________

Parts of it will show through again. It is pretty bad really. It is yellow paint and black paint. A tiny bit of orange. Since it was painted over a finish, there is no wood showing through. Also the back was solid black. LOLOL |

Headstock is done with black. I couldn't get a clean edge because it is dinged up, but when the rest is done, it should fit in fine since I am going to be kind of aging the body. Once the lacquer cures, I will start getting clear on it.  |

I liked that burst a lot. Very in your face and cheap looking. Hopefully a good bit will shine through at least. _________________ Congratulations! Your Punkacc9 evolved into Awstin. |

Long time no post on this project. To be honest, I got it close to being assembled and just wasn't excited about how it was going to look so I stopped working on it.... for almost two years... LOL I have a new plan and have some new steam. This is the last back burner project I have going on. Kind of excited to get it done. I didn't like the idea of all black with white guard and black pickups. Just kind of felt blah to me. I am doing to paint the body white and sand through to the black in some spots and such. I am going to go for chrome humbuckers. I am leaving the headstock black. I acid bathed the metal parts and have them rusting at the moment to go for a beater look. I am leaving the upper plate empty. The switch plate will just have two switches and no filter switch. That hole will be empty. The volume plate will just have a volume pot and knob so the second hole will be left empty. I kind of thought going for a haugepauge look might be kind of cool. At least it is exciting me to finish. I have the white done. I did two cans and will let them dry for a week before sanding. No clear since I want to sand through to the black in the usual places. Forearm, upper control area, and back belt/tummy area. I stained the white guard after sanding it to a matte finish so it has a beat up look. Anyways, here are the pics.
