Dude, you nailed it! Two questions:
Do you use clear coat and How are the reflectors attached? |

| I upload on Photobucket.com. Then all you have to do is copy the IMG link and that's it. |

Yes I do clear coat. I use Mohawk nirtro for the black and white and acrylic for the red (prevents bleeding into the white. I use Mohawk nitro satin clear coat to seal in details as I go and then finish with a light final coat. The reflectors are sticky back. PS: I found a site where you can buy the correct red and oval reflectors for peanuts. (http://www.blastlineind.com/category-s/1338.htm). You can thank me later!
As for the neck, Musikraft shipped it with a shellack finish. I used graphite spray lubricant on a rag to rub it in and then used mineral spirits to take off excess until I liked the color. Then I sealed ti with tough oil. Be sure the neck has a good shellack on it or it will ruin it. NEVER use this on a raw neck! |

| Thank you Chillybeef. It was number four and this site helped a bunch. I found the key is in the masking. It took me about 5 hours for the black stripes and another 6 for the red. All those little detail have to be masked. It impossible to do any other way. I have some pick of the masking I'll down load from a Divebomb I'm working on. |

| That looks really good. The relicing looks very real like it had been on tour for 5-6 years straight. I have one comment or criticism and it is a real petty one, your "tone knob" seems reeally white. All it is is that it caught my eye. I know it is petty but that kind of stuck out on an otherwise perfect build. |

| Thanks. For some reason the pictures don't really show the aging. I took them in bright sunlight but it is really a lot "dirtier" than is shows. I'll try to get a photo indoors and see if it works. I'll work on the knob a little more though. |
