Another tumbleweed post for the Made in the U.K. section...

A fender neck refinish. This was a urethane plastered Mexican neck. The finish was removed, the dots were replaced (and straightened - fender installed the side dots squint) and new early 60s repro decals added after applying a freshly aged nitro finish

Thank you, I appreciate that. It’s all a bit strange when you post countless things with little to no interaction. But that’s the way it works I guess.

The side dots looked like a Friday 4.55pm job or a hangover Monday morning 8.30am job. It appears someone had put the neck in the jig squint so that the dots ran further into the rosewood from the 5th fret up to the butt end. Annoyingly I deleted the picture of it when it arrived but I saved a shot after I stripped it and relocated the dots (this involved drilling out old dots and filling the holes and re-drilling)

These bursts are delicious! One day hopefully!  Would look awesome with rosewood neck and gold anodised/parchment scratchplate Keep them coming fella. Awesome. We do appreciate your efforts.

@sawyer I do love a sunburst. I’ve got lots of plans for the near future too. Thankfully the backlog is shrinking so I’ll be able to start having some proper creative fun again soon.

Can’t wait to get started on these ones!

Fine work Scott. It's been a delight to see your builds get better and better over the years.

GoldenEraGuitars

@earwighoney thank you. This one is a trem body but I might do a hardtail version as well.  You’ll see some big changes over the next few months, it’s all exciting.

Oooh, I like that...would look even better with lacquer checking and a tasteful relic job !

It’s heading that way, this one has only just been sprayed. Now it’s time for the lacquer to harden and dry out before the next step. It’ll look very different when you next see it

Look forward to seeing the next chapter.

Btw, whatever happened to the paisley LP you finished for Darren/Daniels Guitars?

It’s not what I would call a trade secret as such. Takes a lot of cigarettes though

Have you ever tried UV lamps to age a finish?
