At least you can bond with your kid over making the garage smell awful. Taxidermy + paint stripper has to be a potent combination.

Experimenting with a modified 1590N1. No idea how/if it would get produced in aluminum, but just noodling around with it.
Just added that slant for the switch. Maybe a bit steep, but again, experimentation. Some fillets need adjustment, too...

Now, when you say, spray painted it to cover a headstock crack, was the neck and back of the headstock painted, too?

30* (old) vs 12*... maybe 15* is better. I've had enough for the night.

More iterating on this faceplate. I did a test engrave/cut and there were a few things I did not like. The size of the rotary knobs I used in my mockup was too small, so I had to enlarge it and move the position markers around. I had to adjust the position of the labels for the switches (I added the purple circles to get the size right). I also made all knobs (but the rotary one) smaller (I have 20mm on right now, but I will probably use some 13mm one so it looks a bit less crowded). I should move the labels for the top knobs... (edit: fixed, also added the polarity indicator just for fun).

Yes… the whole thing was spray bomb except the faceplate… They sanded over the dang serial #’s to the point you can barely make it out but I have the certificate with it as well..

Ya slap some Tru-oil on there and call it a day. Tru-oil finishes feel better to me than lacquer or poly. And it’s way less expensive and low effort.

I'm a professional wood coatings guy for my job.... I'll probably end up doing something fairly difficult..lol I'm seriously thinking about doing a bright pink flake and black lacquer on the sides and neck..... The grain of the mahogany already has a lot of black paint filling the pores up so it will be too much work to get out without removing too much shape of the neck and the joints...

Bright pink flake with black lacquer on the sides was going to be my second suggestion. Wise choice haha. Do a stinger on the neck too!

it's subtle, but I think 15* (middle) seems the best. Off to print ...tomorrow.
