At this stage there really hasn't been much to write about. It's just been a few coats of paint here and there. We've had large quantities of rain (ie: days) interspersed with very hot temperatures (35+), so I have had to pay close attention to the forecasts, because, as we all know, painting and staining doesn't mix with high humidity.
I did manage to somewhat learn how to use a project manger and come up with something that looks like a Gantt chart for the Flash. Less that a week in to the charts schedule, I'm already behind - I bought the wrong neck. D'oh. For the record, the neck I did buy was for the Muddy Waters tribute guitar I put off last year. I now have a wonderful looking piece of Ash and will soon have a 9 1/2" radius Maple neck with a rosewood fretboard. Photos of that baby will be up soon :D But it does looks like the Flashes neck will have to wait till next pay day :(
Now, enough with the chit chat, here's the photos. First up is the Flash. I will have to do a few touch ups with the red colour, mostly around the curved sections, but by and large I am very happy with the result.
And now for 39. She's looking quite shiny - although my photography skills don't show it. I have added a water dragon to the design. It's my tip-of-m'hat to Led Zeppelins' guitarist Sir James Patrick Page, Jr. and his famous dragon pants.
Here are some extra pics. Here is a shot of what The Boss will look like once I've routed out some of the bridge pickup cavity, plus a close up of said cavity.
Now I'm off to learn how to use a plunge router...
