Electric Guitar Body Finishing

Hi everyone,

I'm back with more on the guitar I'm making for Eric Weingrad of TheCause
It should be complete in a week or two...Thes photos show my ultrviolet curing rig in use. (It is a hand-held unit, but I put it down in the photo to take the shot).

After several coats are srayed, the guitar is hit with the UV light for several minutes until the finish is hard.
Then the final wet-sand and buff out takes place.

I wanted to show the thick layers of wood used to make this body...you can see a dramatic "waterfall" effect as the flamed maple rolls over the top edge. This amazing depth and drama can't be acheived with a thin top.

Please viist my website for more on custom guitars!
