    It isn't, it's like a bowling ball fell into a guitar factory. 

    It was my first ever refin job, and it's shite. But I learnt a lot, and would love to do another marble paint job sometime - I may do an esquire project next year, with no guard, and that could look really great with this sort of job. :)

    Especially now I understand concepts like flatting back the finish... ;)

    What a satisfying ending to a great story. Well chuffed for you! Just told the story to my mum and even she's choked!

    Mrs T, on behalf of the forum, I raise my glass to you. Genuinely brilliant.

  • I've shared this story with people today who've no interest in guitars whatsoever and they've all loved it.

    Really heartening. I'm genuinely thrilled for you.

    I'd love to agree but she's a DD cup, drunk, smiling and has forgiven me for being the dick that didn't like his present and said so on Christmas day, she's awesome.

    Did I mention DD :D

    you may think she's forgiven you, but it will come back to haunt you.

    I got it covered. I know she went snooping and found some of her presents from me, but she doesn't know I know that :D

    You'll have to keep it seriously quiet from Mrs Travis when you inevitably pop it on the classifieds.
