NICE!!!!

Can't wait to see the finished product!

Sorry to borrow your thread bro, I am trying to do my own project too, but I need a Les Paul Special neck. Any DIY guys here have a spare?

 

[edder]

well done. since its glossy, remember to fine sand and polish with swirl remover paste and then whack some hi grade automotive wax(Meguiars!) and you'll have a ultra spanking kilat tele.

Aiyoh....not hand buff la....machine buff.Btw when you buff by hand what kinda cloth did you use?Micro-fbre type?

 

[HIMYNAMEISARTHUR]

normal cotten cloth...and car wax...

Nah wonder the circular lines.....dont use the normal cotton cloth, please use micro-fibre cloth.But imo you should have used the machine buff in the first place...
