NGD - an act of Willpower
« on: January 22, 2011, 07:34:47 PM »
Will on this forum finally got his White Lion this weekend
Our paint-shop finally got the paint finish sorted after much struggling and testing and we are pleased with the result (if not the length of time it took them to nail it)
We were trying to get the Mary Kay see thru white finish
Sometimes the wood looks white and in other light you get a bit more colour of the timber coming through

Here is the finished result :



Pickups are BKP Cold Sweats in Duncan Tripleshot rings






The black pearl side inlay dots look like they light up under certain lighting


Nice Mother of Pearl blocks

Attention to detail like that is what makes all the difference. That looks absolutely flawless!

You've certainly honed your craft well. This is a wonderful example of loving what you're doing, knowing how to do it and doing it right. It's a beautiful product, sir. Lots of great choices made. The man is lucky to own it.

Nice to hear Will's got his guitar at last!  :D

I like the way the top's got just enough grain to show through the finish.  What is it, "plain" maple?

Wow, once again a really superlative piece of craftsmanship. I've never seen that finish on this style of instrument before. It gives it an almost delicate feel. I really like it very much.

Hi guys, been a while! Struggling with time and all, but its quite easy to find time for this guitar! Loving it

A* from Jon's service, as expected. Friendly and a dream to play (or look at too)
