Today I spent about 2 hours scraping the plastic binding around the guitar body to get the black paint back off of it.  This is a very tedious task but all in all it went well.  I had to touch up a couple of spots where i scraped too far and hit the wood edge.  Once that dries I'll scrape the binding just a little more to make sure it has a nice even edge and then it's on to 10 coats of clear on the body.  The neck is getting shipped out on Tuesday to get the headstock logo screen printed by Bob Shade of Hallmark Guitars!  Not much longer and I'll be playing it!  Photos are better this time. I shot them with a real camera instead of my phone!  Look at that color pop!

Sunburst

Made some serious progress over the last two days! Laid down the sanding sealer and then all three colors of the sunburst! Now it's looking like a real Mosrite! I got a couple of coats of clear on the body and neck as well. Next week the neck is getting shipped out to Bob Shade at Hallmark Guitars where he will use the original silk screens from the Mosrite factory circa 1960's to silkscreen the "Mosrite" and "The Ventures Model" logos on the headstock. When I get it back it will get about 8 more coats of clear then cure for a week and get buffed out. In the meantime, the body will go ahead and get all 10 coats of clear!
