Fantastic work ZoSo. Like Tone said, pictures are great to show to your friends. We will be waiting to see the next process in pictures. The finshed project will be a masterpiece for sure.

Wow that is beautiful. You are going to have Trem drooling profusely.

**Hogfullofblues** · December 9th, 2006, 07:19 PM

Wow is right! That just looks exceptional.

I'm going to use a pre-cat lacquer on this one, it's fully cured in 24hrs, No nitro wait *snicker* So it will be finished for Christmas. Plus it's a little more durable, which will be good for my step daughter,,hehe

What is pre-CAT lacquer & at what point & why do cats get involved?
I suppose that if you were going for a furball finish...

I didn't realize that this is a gift for your step daughter! Too cool!

That's our ZoSo, one heck of a purrr-fectionist. Sorry, couldn't resist on that one!

The guitar's gonna look beautiful, and your daughter should be proud. Mrs. Katastrophe even commented on how good the guitar is looking, and she normally rolls her eyes when I try to talk guitar with her.

Ooooo, commision her a gen-u-wine ZoSo guitar & you n' Mrs Kat
(there seems to be a surfeit of cats in this thread) can jam into the night.

--With headphones, of course, so as not to wake baby Kat.

Latest news,,,LOL

New color!

Before and after fret marker replacement. In the pic the new ones are only placed for test fitting.

Got this idea the other night when I was thinking of some kind of label for the headstock.
Hell with the label, let it be part of it! (this is only the rough cut)

yes, that's my stepdaughters name,, heh

,,, till next time.

Now that is freakin' cool! Great idea ZoSo.

You should make raindrop shaped fret markers.

Rain is a great name for a rock star.

**ZoSo65** · December 17th, 2006, 05:50 PM

Thanks tot!
I thought about doing the raindrop markers, but I'm limited on time

Got a good 9+ hours work done on the project over the weekend.

Cleaned up the headstock.
(penciled part of letters is just roughed in)

Fret markers in, neck stained, and sealed.

Got rear of body primed and quilt sealed.

Plus a few odds and ends got taken care of.
A good final sanding and I'll be laying on the color and clear coats.

Over and out.

Very impressive, Z-man, very impressive indeed! Man, I wish I had skills like that!

**warren0728** · December 17th, 2006, 06:37 PM

tremoloman*** · December 17th, 2006, 10:31 PM

That guitar looks AMAZING... you are one seriously talented individual! I only wish I had ½ the skill you do. Please keep sending pics!

**ZoSo65** · December 18th, 2006, 08:29 PM

Thank You guys

Here's a quicky, just got home from doing this:

White on back of neck finished.

Burst and one coat of clear on.

I need to soften the burst a bit on the bottom (by controls)
Hey, what do you expect for my first time doing a burst,,LOL

Beautiful!! Looks good enough to eat, and that it would taste like one of those berry ice cream Cap'n Crunch type bars.

How are you going to bring out the letters on the head stock? Or maybe just WOW us once you do with some pics.

**ZoSo65** · December 24th, 2006, 06:58 PM

Just got her done!
I think it came out OK, considering I had to strip it down, re-dye, re-lacquer, etc., etc.
There's even pink strings on her. LOL
Gave her a test run through my DeltaBlues, and she sounds real good. That surprised me since the PUPs where some no-namers,,hehe
