The only one like it in the world!

Because my daughter painted it for me. Alder body, Khaya neck, cocobolo fingerboard, stainless frets. Mini hum neck pup, SD Little '59 bridge. Automotive polyurethane clear (Southern Polyurethanes Euro 2020).

I couldn't be prouder! This one is special to me.

Re: BEST way to repair Nitro finish?

FYI - Get the 'whip tips' (available at StewMac) to avoid that kind of CA splash out of the tip on the bottle.

Re: Markku Nyytäjä's candy blue Tele

Beautiful guitar.

I got concerned when I saw the picture of you spraying catalyzed finish wearing just a tank top. IMHO, that's not safe. If that finish uses isocyanates, those can be absorbed through the skin. Be careful.

Re: Headstock

A picture will be very helpful in diagnosing the issue. Also, what finish did you spray on it?

Re: Fret board inlays

I've accidentally drilled the holes for my dot markers a bit too low before. I filled it with superglue and (very fine) sanded it flush. It looks like it's right on the surface (like all clear finishes do).
