DONE!

4 coats of tung oil, dried for a week or until the oil's smell has weakened, & 3 coats of lacquer.

Shaped and set the nut, dressed the frets (some were a tad sharp) wired it 50's style and added the tail, tuners, and bits and pieces.

I am now wondering if this model was one of those early 80's Navigator/ESP build your own kits that some guy just didn't finish but it did have a sanding sealer on it followed by what seems to be the original TV Yellow and later a bright green WTF?

Need to make a pickguard for it, get a proper 1 ply jack plate (or make one), and get a proper old school bridge as these compensated tails do not work well on the old sharp angled bridge holes.

Strings and pole pieces do not line up but still sound amazing through the 1960's Gibson P90

So...the Bacchus Jr...yeah.

This was waiting for hotter weather and our summer hit on Friday with a vengeance!

So damn hot for May in Victoria!

Anyway, so I sanded it but not 100 since I was going to put a solid TV finish on it to cover the holes left by a Bigsby.

So I did a Sonic Blue and while I liked it it just didn't do it for me.

Soooo spent the whole day yesterday stripping it and really prepping it for tung oil because tung oil is the shit man! :D

Here it is with the sonic blue:

Here it is yesterday after 1 coat of tung oil:
