big bob Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I just now got done shooting the first coat of lacquer on the back of the 140. Man is my heart racing. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time... This is defiantly why I do it.. Photos to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big bob Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 So did you refinish the back? I did not refinish. the old finish is what will stay. but in order to wet sand out the buckle dents I must make the finish thicker while also getting new finish into the divots. So I shot three coats of new clear nitro over the old nitro and also into the old divots, now I will effectively sand most of the new finish off leaving only new finish in the low spots/divots rinse and repeat.. eventually the finish will be smooth and rash free, then I will shoot a coat of new nitro over the whole guitar so the finish will be thick enough for me to buff out. In theory an old Heritage finish with a new shiny top coat. Sorry guys no good pictures, it's hard to shoot a dark back and have anything show up.. I'll get some soon I hope.

tulk1 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Bob, Where did you learn to do this stuff. I would have no clue. You need to see his paper/cellulous guitar. Friggin' awesome!!! B2 (Lanceroneous to some) has some mad skills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big bob Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Bob, Where did you learn to do this stuff. I would have no clue. I did go through 7 years of art school, Oh and get two degrees, and then teach art for quite a few years before I was laid off.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
