Husk mod - AXL LP

Coincidentally, my backup can of poly is coming today. Although I said I was done coating, I am tempted to give it another shot. Should I leave it at thick enough, or go for another session of spraying? At present, I am at 2 and 1/3 cans, but I did not get all I could have out of one full can as I was cautious and farther away than I needed to be (practice and learn, right?). What say you all?
 
Depends on how thick You want it.
The thick poly on some of mine is like the guitar is encased in poly not coated.
If the coverage is even I'd say call it good.
but thats my preference.
I'll be using a few coats of wipe on satin poly to just lay a thin protective coating over the stained wood.

I'll probably get started on mine sun afternoon and get a couple hours in Sun and Mon.

The mask was so captivating, I did not look closely enough at the guitars on the wall, as hard as that is to believe. That is such a fine selection. Both classy and bad ass! The white SG is rather unique looking. I wish you did not live so far away.

I saw and thought pretty much the same thing.
That oxblood Rivera amp caught my eye as well.
What a wonderful man cave.

I say at this point let it set for a few days, knock the finish down all over by hand with some #600 wet, especially the top.
Then give it another coat. Should come out fairly glassy then.

Thanks. So I have been dry sanding with 400 grit between each day of coating so far. That is 5 days of coats, so 4 sandings. When I am done, I do progressive wet sanding, the plan here being 600-800-100-1200-1500-2000. Since that is a lot of grades, I wanted a thick shell to protect against burn through. So I was going to go for 1 more 400 dry sand and coat. Does that make sense?

Very nice of you to say that. You're welcome over here anytime.

The SG is a 50th Anniversary Pete Townshend Special. Its pickguard has been temporarily removed. I'm waiting for Creamtone to make a one-off for it. Thread to follow once the project is complete.

Your Husk Mod project is coming nicely. Take your time... :yesway:

The Rivera is a Quiana 4x10. A killer, 2 channel, 50 watt Beast. Yeah, I love my Mancave... a total shrine to myself.

Wondered why it wasn't strung up and being played!

Looking forward to that thread.

Also looking forward to Gibson doing a classic with P90s some time soon (Pelaham Blue, white binding, locking tuners, please with nitro and a case around the $1200 mark); 2018 range?
