Stewmac and Guitar reranch both sell pigment for nitro in white. You would be able to achieve a pretty opaque finish with enough coats. You could also go with a premixed white automotive lacquer over a primer. Basically you are making a hard white paint which uses nitro as the binder.
To get Opaque white you are probably going to need to go with a white primer coat.
Where'd you get a set of 8 Sperzels? I want a 7 string set
Or just message me
Yep, this:
STEWMAC.COM : ColorTone Liquid Pigment for Lacquer
In white. It's what I'm using for a trans white finish on an ash body right now. With enough pigment in the lacquer or enough coats it becomes solid white.

I'm thinking about ordering some of that. I'm playing around with Spray White lacquer I got from home depot right now. Will nitro "stick" to primer? I'm not sure what types of paints work with nitro.
Most spray primers, yeah. You'll know right away if it won't
I've had good luck thus far with your typical spray can primer from the car parts stores. Superwoodle

Wow man. Just stumbled upon this thread. The Saber is probably my favorite body shape, I have 2 S540 6's. I've always wanted to see an S8! I love the unique materials as well. Awesome build man, stoked to see how it turns out.

i LOVE the idea of the bridges. if something happens to one, just switch that one out. not the whole bridge. <3. ill buy some for sure.
get them patented, imprint your name on them, and sell them. they could be the next big thing in bridges

Just a small up date here
Whoo it's been a whole month! I've been pretty busy with my little local band this past few weeks.
I made a new router " bushing," I'm not sure what to call it, so that I can use my 1/4" bit on a template, since I cannot put a bearing on the shaft.
Freshly machined.
Some more handy work with a band saw and drill press.
Also, my neighbor apparently has a huge industrial laser, and has offered to cut my routing templates out for me.
