We are unfortunately back to an Enhanced Movement Control Order, so my work has again been pushed back. Just sharing some of the latest pictures on the lacquering progress. Polyurethane has been used, I much prefer this more durable finishing instead of the more traditional Nitrocellulose.

The above would have been the final round of fine sanding at 400 grit before the final coat of lacquer goes on.


What’s left is only the fine sanding to polish, and then buffing it up to a nice mirror shine. The bridge would then go on, as with the hardware and frets, and then this little beauty will begin to sing.
Till then, I hope you enjoy these pictures, and do stay safe.
