Oh sweet, same as me then I thought strat necks were slightly slimmer, could just be mine though, it's about 3mm thinner than my Les Paul neck at the base, keep me posted on it though, would love to see the final result
Also, I'm aware this isn't by any means a perfect coat, please note I don't care, once it dries it looks really nice, and it not being 100% smooth isn't a concern to me, if you think that's 2nd rate then good for you, I'm not that fussed.
Hey guys, so all of the parts have yet to arrive, every seller is currently blaming the "xmas rush" even though I ordered them all on boxing day, only one seller has actually dispatched the item but it's taken so long there's a worry that it might not turn up...
The lacquer that I ordered 4 days ago however, turned up yesterday, so there's a nice satin shine to the guitar now, it's darkened the woodgrain quite a bit, which at first I wasn't that happy with, but it's grown on me over time.
Photo is after putting on a coat so it looks glossier than it'll actually come out. Also the colour balance is way off, not as orange as this.

So it's all complete, and it's incredible, the pickups probably aren't great at corresponding to chords being played, but christ alive I have a 12 string! I really employe everyone to try this mod if they have a 6 string lying around they don't care for anymore, the sound is gorgeous.

Hey guys, here's a clip of a song I'm currently recording

For anyone who wishes to chime in and give me their opinions on my mixing, don't, I record first, then mix, that is my system.
EDIT: Just incase people were wondering, that's 9 layers, hence the very WOS feel.
I love that lush sound you have in the mix. Is that the 12-string, or the Les Paul in its six string incarnation? Either way, you have a great mix.
Looks great. It's nice that you kept the wood grain look instead of painting it a solid color.
Now clean off your bed!
