Looking sweet, I have been wanting to build my own guitar for a while now. If I had the tools I would be on it straight away, after I saw Dylan from Daemoness guitars work I was mesmerised

It's African Mahogany, I used spackling compound to fill the grain, and then sealed it off with lacquer sanding sealer. The picture was taken after the first session. I repeated it twice more. It worked well, and didn't take much time. I shot some color on it at the end of the day. I probably should have waited because it had cooled off, and the lacquer blushed a little. It's the first coat, and will be sanded anyway, so it's no big deal. The weather is supposed to be nice this week. I should be able to complete the finish on both guitars.What did you grain fill with and what is the base timber? It looks quite open grain so you may want to go a second and maybe a third time with the filler or are you relying on the undercoat to fill and sand back..
I love it when I go shopping for lumber, and one certain piece seems to call out to me. Compared to this, the rest of the walnut that they had on the rack seemed plain and not very interesting. I can't wait to see it shimmer when it's finished.As for the figured walnut. POIDH...
