I like the blacked out theme. Its a special guitar so will be cool to have something out of the ordinary on it! Gonna be killer man.

Alright folks, it's that time again. I woke up to another text message this morning from my artist...it read as such;

I got the color and the 1st coat of clear done. Now I just have to wet sand and clear again. Sorry it's taken longer than I thought. THe weather has been crappy. I'll keep you posted.

It's difficult to tell from the pictures some of what is sunlight and actual paint, but based on what I can see, I'm elated. And it would APPEAR that all of my tedious work on the body has paid off...I can't see any flaws at this moment, where as we could ALL see the bodywork flaws when I first got it.

So there ya have it, fellas!

Keep going Morbid! Can't wait to see it back with all its jewelry.

Another text message from this morning...

Final clear is done. Gonna buff it on Wednesday. Should be ready for pick up by the weekend.

It's difficult to tell through the picture (because it's small and a cell phone pic)but around the holes of the pickup selector and the piezo switch, it looks like some of my body work might be showing through, but when I look at the original bare wood pictures of the guitar, AFTER doing the body work, it doesn't match up, so I'm hoping it's just in need of buffing and better pictures.
I texted Dan (the painter)to ask how my body work held up and if it shows through. It normally takes him a little while to get back VIA text message, but I'll post a reply when he does.
