Sneak Peek

After finish sanding the guitar bodies, we rubbed them down with naphtha to get any finger oils or other residue off of them before starting to spray them with lacquer (tomorrow). In the process of doing that, I got a brief preview of what the back of my guitar will look like once the finish is on it.
Check out that figure! Pretty cool....
