Nice, man! Got the backplate of mine signed at the TO show. Still awaiting my pics.

See if you can spot my secret message, lol.

Thanks. I actually decided not to do anything, at least for now. The luthier i went to said that in order for him to put an overcoat on a finished wood, he needs to do some prep work (sanding and etc) and i just can't accept that. I got so scared (X 10 raised to an infinite number) that i didnt go with it. He told me anyways that for as long as i dont clean it with any substance, i will be fine since i used a paint marker. Hopefully that is true coz i already played my redburst in 3 shows already.

anyways. i never cleaned the top part of the body since it got signed. im just praying that i won't fade off.

That's cool.
I prep'd the back of my headstock by removing all traces of wax and then using 1200 - 1500 - 2000 wet and dry. Trouble is I haven't had a clear coat put on it - it's just that it's on a part of the neck that doesn't get touched. (ok who made the snide remark that neither does anywhere past the 12 th fret !!!)

I'm off to see Albert this week end. I'll try and get a photo signed and put it up for grabs (not for any money) on the forum. Thinks "what can I do to make a knuckleheads day with a signed AL photo?".
