Not starting painting tonight though - that was hard work, plus I only have black paint at the moment - need white and dark grey.  The plan is to hand paint it with model paints and tiny brushes, flatten it a tad with very fine sandpaper, then lacquer over the top to protect it.

That is f***ing awesome 

 

there is a parallel universe where I would create something like that (as well as being a millionaire aristocrat with my own harem) but sadly I don’t live there

What if you filled in the letters with gold or silver paint as subtle mockery of the fender logos?

Nah, no mockery needed, gonna go with the original plan of black, dark grey and white.

Small update - frets have been levelled and recrowned.  I think the neck did need it, the fret material didn't come off universally so I hope i made an improvement.

 

 

Also, French polish arrived from @kodiakblair - legend, cheers!

Quite a nice bit of wood on that fretboard as well.
