Body sprayed black, Chi-Rho image added, imitation 'wear & tear' added to body (or should that be subtracted?)
Shielded the scratchplate. Painted the cavities with shielding paint.
The neck looked too pristine, so I have done a bit of ageing. I created a solution with wire wool and vinegar, left for about a week to get ready. painted on, then left for an hour or two. This darkened the wood quite a lot. I sanded it back a bit then applied a few coats of tru-oil. The colour is lovely!
This is the headstock, once again, with an aged look. I created the deal artwork in Adobe illustrator software and printed on to transfer paper. White on black was tricky, but it seemed to work well when finished. The serial number is my birthday!

The guitar looks really classy - you have a great eye for design.
Interesting to see how you have learned along the way - and respect for using your own initiative to achieve what you wanted...that is what it is all about. Thanks for the credit - and for sharing the process with us. Here is a link to the course for anyone else who might be interested in taking a look.
