Hey...nice. You're bringing an iconic guitar (that a lot of famous people started with) back to life.
There is a special place in heaven for you!

I went a little crazy with the RR ambered clear for the 'sunburn' of the pickguard, bridge and neckplate. I toned it down a bit with some light sanding and now I'm on to clear coats. I used about 1/8 of a can of RR ambered clear and about 2/3rds of a can of RR plain clear. I'll finish up the can and let it sit for a month and see how it cuts and buffs. Fun Pre CBS Fender project for very few $$$. Pics coming soon.

I needed a pick-me-up this week, and seriously, this may be one fo the best threads I have ever read. Can't wait to see the next installment.
Thank you,

Thanks for the encouragement, all. This has been fun. I can't believe the body is a one piece. I thought all these 'student' guitars were multi-piece bodies. It's been really, REALLY humid here, so I've been taking my time on the clear coats. Finally done. I'll let it hang for another few weeks and then get to buffing. It really did turn out a lot more yellow than I was going for, but it's growing on me. We'll see how much of the amber color remains after sanding and polishing. I did a coat of amber between every few coats of clear, hoping when I sand it the finish will have sort of an aged mottled look. You never know 'til you try, right?

Here's a mockup before final sanding. It's sitting on top of my old Mustang case. The amber clear over the '59 Tan came out pretty yellow, but it looks cool. Can't wait to polish it and put it back together.

Very cool BroncoB, You're lucky they didn't paint the headstock.
I had a Musicmaster with a similar custom floral job on black. Except they painted the headstock.
Couldn't save the decals.
But, It sounds like we're all ready for a strings-on pic.

That is a really nice looking DS compared to how it was. I have a '66 DSII that I bought w/ finish stripped off. I plan on a refinish on her one day.
Keep up the good work.
Peace,
Jake
