the purple Iceman ~ Nitro absolutely

Back of Neck ~ 20 coats of lemon oil after super fine Sanding ( there is no Faster neck on the Planet, after that - the More U sweat the faster the hand slides ( Raise the whiskers several times with water though
Lacquer Neck - Opposite of that ;( but I'm talking about the Back

I messed up the Magenta guitar, and I really wasn't too happy with the color, so I completely sanded it back down and made it purple again. It looked great as magenta, but I really wanted to get back to my original idea of purple. This is it after re-staining it purple again, and with its first coat of Tru-Oil.

If that body suddenly goes missing, I didn't do it :cool2:

I just took these outside after the third coat of Tru-Oil.

It's ugly.
Purple is a girlie color.
You don't like the Iceman anyway!

Just send that body here (after you finish the final top coats, of course) and I'll keep you from embarrassing yourself ;)

My neck came in yesterday, and it feels great. It will still probably be at least another month before I have it put on. I still have to add more coats of Tru Oil, let these bodies cure, scrape the binding, and then wet sand them.

Anyways, here's a few different mockup pictures of them with different knobs. I think I prefer the top hat style ones.

A couple of mockup pictures with the neck to give you and idea of what they will look like. I guess I should have taken some pics with the hardware on before I put another coat of Tru Oil on them. I will try and do that tomorrow.
