explorer update 5

shit. i think i fucked up. no wait, i know i fucked up. i sprayed color on it this morning and immediately had regrets, but the process had already started, so i just went with it and hoped for the best. 3 base coats, 4 clear coats. the paint itself is really well applied, but the color… oh god the color. so much regret.

i pulled the masking tape off the fretboard, and of course, to add to the injury of picking a color that has no business being on this guitar, i also fucked up the masking job and there is a big ol’ bare patch along the entire neck… aaaaaaaaargh!

i’m not even going to show a picture… this is a problem that i need to fix before i can share. it’s going to take like 5 days for the paint to cure, and so it will take at least that long before i can sand down the affected area and respray it. god dammit!

also the headstock looks… weird. i probably shouldn’t have painted the neck. at least to fix that i think i will just paint the face of it black. in 5 days…

next time, bolt on neck.
