Good eye. I'm using nitro in an HVLP sprayer. Clear coats will go on slowly through next week, then it will sit while I am gone for a month. Sanding/polishing will happen no sooner than late November. This is my first guitar body painting. I have a Mint pickguard here which will likely be the winner but I also have a parchment one. We'll see what looks best. Neck will have my preferred tiny mandolin frets. Pickup will be the Pure Vintage '63 P p'up.
Thanks WD. I'm thinking about that. The finish on these speakers is VERY thin so my repair will be as thin as possible. I have heard that a simple lacquer thinner spray will flow the lacquer and repair the damage. I'm not a wood worker, so this is scary for me.
The Cornwalls sound magnificent. My main stereo system is a pair of directly-heated single ended triode pre and power amp setup. 8 WPC. Midrange to die for. I can hear the expressions on singers' faces.
