I bought this guitar with the intention of modding. Sanded the neck down, and had all sorts of crazy finish ideas and mods in mind.
With a little advice from SS.org, I began my venture.

Aw sick, gross!
Naked!
HELLO SUN
Farewell, paint
HELLO DISSAPOINTING BASSWOOD GRAIN
Whatever, it's time to finish you.
Stooooked. Got a few coats of varathane or something on the back of the body and the neck. I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm hoping the clear coat I sprayed on it will dry super smooth. I hate a sticky neck. BTW I'm leaving the black paint on the edges, thus masking tape.
Leaving it to dry until tomorrow.
I am going to leave the neck pickup out and wire it for just bridge pickup and volume pot. I think I'll just leave the neck pocket / pickup selector route / tone knob hole open because I don't care. Might wood filler it or something, any suggestions?
Will post more pics once more progress can be seen
