So far I have filled the body, shot it with black sandable primer and now filled more.
Next, I will prime again and see where im at.

I need to find a good Duplicolor clear that will work well between layers and at the end

Will this be good with my other Duplicolor Acyrlic lacquers

Heres the first black coat. I zoomed on some grain lines. Should I fill them in more? I think so.

Looking very good! That's an awesome body you got there.

Yes, I think that clear will work great!

-Update-

Alright. So the body has been painted black and a couple coats of clear. The clear turned out to not really have any shine/gloss to it.

The neck is in the relic stage and I'm waiting on a floyd and tuners.

I'll let the body cure during this week while I get more stuff in. Cool
