Guitar Build #1 - 2/6/2015

Just an update...

Not much visible progress in the past few days. Clear coating the back and sides...just like I did with the top, and just like the top I had setbacks.

The day before yesterday I wiped on some oil finish and realized partway through that the rag I was using was very lint-y which left a boatload of lint all over the finish. This, as you can imagine, was extremely frustrating!

This meant that yesterday I had to wet sand with 800 grit to remove the lint, which does have the side benefit of smoothing out the finish. It also meant losing a day's progress. So, this morning I woke up and wiped on another coat before work.

Long story short, not much progress...but some! No pics though...I'm thinking only 1-3 more coats total because I want a somewhat natural looking finish on the back. Hopefully this means the guitar will be curing and the glued together by the end of next week! Then, it's all downhill....I hope...
