I am sorry I am late to the game, but this is an amazing old school build.

I watched a Carvin or what ever their new name is where they CNC everything.

What you are doing is an art.

How do you plan on finishing them?

Hiya, I thought no one was very interested so I gave up posting updates. They have been sprayed clear nitro for the sides and backs and black covered by clear on the front. They are hanging up now in a wardrobe hardening off for a few more weeks

It will be a few weeks now, I only finished spraying them yesterday afternoon, they got 2 coats of sanding sealer the backs got 16 coats of clear and the tops 3 or 4 coats of black and 14 coats of clear on top. My spraygun is a good one and put's down a very thin coat but still there is a lot of lacquer on there to gas off

I didn't comment because I'm blown away by the fine work.  Keep it coming.

Getting better.. Iiiin your wardrooobe...

Had to :) Seriously, I can't see anybody here not wanting to see updates on these two. In general, there is not much action here during summer, but these days I suppose we are getting back on track. I follow the updates with great interest, the basses look stunning :)

Well done! They're going to look great with hardware. Keep the updates coming please.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Fantastic work!

This forum is relatively small, but enthusiastic.

Just because folks don't always reply doesn't mean they're not following along.

Please, keep posting! This is a very interesting trip! I love to see your pictures of the travel! I'm sure most of us, here at the Outpost, are more then a bit interested! So, keep up the good work!

Don't worry, I'll keep posting but for the next few weeks they will just be drying off. As soon as the lacquer is hard enough to work with again I'll update :)
