That's pretty cool! Talk about a labor of love. How does it play now?

Is is a fun guitar that has a real growly sound when needed... I recorded "Watching The Waves" with it... Definately need to work on my slide technique though LOL

Nice! :)
Did you get the paint out of the neck pocket and the mating surface of the neck? Wood to wood mating is what brings out the sound. I found that out when I cleaned the neck pocket on my Epi telecaster.

YA, I chipped out a buncha overflow inside the pocket, and yer right, it sure has a solid connection... the resonance is throughout the whole guitar... :dance

I used to do alot of Antique furniture refinishing, so I am fairly fastidious about these things. :french

Cool, I like stuff like that but I'm no pro. :)
I refinished one of my guitars by sanding the poly off, stained it with cherry stain and shellacked it. It brought the grains out.
Not a fantastic piece of wood but it resonates well. It was hand made by a luthier.
