Bolt-on Electric

This guitar is a bolt-on version of the popular Les Paul style guitar, hence the Jr. naming.  The guitar has a pair of Lindy Fralin P-90 pickups.  This is basically a kit guitar build but a great learning tool.  The paint is a Nitrocellulose lacquer with a two-color burst of black and translucent amber.

Just finished up cleaning the frets.

The spraying is finished and you can see a bit of the dimples towards the edge of the guitar.  Wet sanding here I come.

After wet sanding and a good buffing.

In the middle of spraying clear coats to protect the burst.

Putting the last pieces together, adding the output jack.

Body and neck before wet sanding.

Taped off frets to prevent having to scrape the lacquer off the fret board.

Added Gotoh tuners.

You can start to see the depth of that amber color with a bit of flash.

Same photo as above but without the flash.

Working on soldering all the electronics together.
