Finished this one a few weeks ago. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Pictures aren't that great. ( again )

G'day Wayne,
Great looking guitar and the red sunburst finish fits the guitars style.
The bridge itself is a work of art.
I'm keen to hear the guitar once you have a demo.
Cheers
Alan

Thanks Al. Might be a while before I have a demo. Maybe the new owner will do one when he gets it.

Looks great Wayne. It really captures the Macca style. How did you do the burst, is it sprayed?

[56nortondomy]

Hi Mark, I rubbed a base coat over the guitar then sprayed more coats adding a little more colour to the mix as I went. I was trying for a violin type colour and I think it’s pretty close. Thanks Wayne

Very well done Wayne How did you go bending the soundboard? Thinking about making that rosette shape hurts my head. I think you nailed the violin, soft burst colour.

[56nortondomy]

Thanks Trent. I actually used my heat blanket to bend the top. I made a bending board laid the top on it then laid the blanket at right angles to it then just clamped it. Yeah the rosette was a bit of a challenge. Wayne
