Summer, The life and death of a guitar and uni preperations.

My original plans consisted of recreating the fender telecaster that I had recently acquired for £50 at a charity shop in my local village, however after a new paint job, cheap pick up and a cheap neck I decided to postpone it. This was because I had found my original guitar that was bought for me when i was about fourteen, this was an Ibanez GAX 30, a cheap but amazing starter guitar, the guitar was badly damaged on the sides so after an extensive sanding down I managed to get it down to this..



The masking tape was a painful process getting all the nooks and crannys, however after about thirty minuites it was done, I took the guitar outside to spray paint unfortunatley the weather in Birmingham is miserable.



However I perservered and placed an umberella outside.



the first coat wet;



(Remember kids, remember to place cardboard up, I forgot, this messed up the wall and after had to hose it down)

After an hour and a half the coat was dry;



So the second coat dryed and at Nine thirty PM it was getting dark, luckily there are lights in the garden;



Still fairly dull white so had to apply it again.




The Wet 3rd coat.
