Yeah, this is reworked to use a recessed tune o matic bridge. I filled the stock cavities with cnc'd mahogany, sanded flush.
I sprayed the white last year, my kids bumped it while it was drying and I resprayed. It had a lot of paint on it by that time, and I didn't like the paint I used the second time. (That paint is probably great for graffitti, not so good for sanding smooth. It was an "artist's acrylic-nitro-cellulous" blend that wasn't cheap. Sprayed like crap though.)
So, I took it all back off, primed, and resprayed with white lacquer. Definitely glad I took the time to do it.
It's really close, and very exciting..!
I don't want to jinx it until I can clear coat it, but here is a very small picture as a very big tease.


Fingers crossed for acceptable weather this weekend...
