I would still have preferred a goldtop, personally! But you’ve done such a great job of the burst that it’s forgiveable .

Cheers for the ongoing positivity gents, the lacquer is on and the thing is hanging until it’s good and ready for polishing.
The board cleaned up nicely. I used plain old green mineral oil to condition it, because I have gallons of the stuff. I also micromeshed the frets.
Did I enjoy doing it? Yes, I think I did. I’m going to play it, hope to enjoy it and hope to bond with it, but we’ll see how it goes…
As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
(And the amber switch-tip call is 100% too )
Nil points for top-wrapping the tailpiece though .

Edit: I was always gonna stick with what I had so the black plastics were never a consideration. I think they give this burst a bit of...attitude? If that’s the right word. They’re very firmly staying. Amber switch tip is on now too but I’m on the fence with it right now. Massive decision to make as to whether it stays or not
Thanks man.
Just, Wow.
