Having been to northern US and Canada, the humidity is quite noticeable, so finding the right day to do coatings would have been difficult alrighty.

More pics as the beast unfolds please!

Hey guys, digressing slightly; get onto this, for a laugh. If you like the site don't 'blow my cover' as being one of the protagonists. The idea is (obviously) a torque-take to go anonymously viral on the net. Hope you might get a chuckle.

At this point just waiting on my second "dream 90" (currently on back order) . Couldn't wait to slap it together to get a preview, so ....I did.

Added "vintage" tulip tuners to complete the look, and although I'm not generally a big fan of gold hardware, I think it works with this finish and the brass bridge.

Gotta say, I'm pretty happy with the look overall. I'm going to try to do a Skylark headstock logo in black. :D

Comments welcome. Even from you guys......... :rofl:

The P90's should be dynamite on that body. I'll be very disappointed if they aren't.

Oh wow, what a great job! Really really suits it.

There's tons of Sellers on EBay that can do decals quite cheaply - may be an option.

Keep the pickkies coming please!
