**UPDATE - MON 9/15**
TRAGEDY! The guitar took a fall today....Luckily, it fell onto a cardboard box and the damage was minimal. There are a few scuffs on the white coat which was applied yesterday, but it should all be fine after the second coat tomorrow.
In other news, I decided it would be cool to paint the headstock tuning hardware white. It turned out to be a waste of time mostly...It doesn't matter how many coats of gloss / lacquer you put on them, the paint is still going to chip and peel off because there is just so much stress on it. It's called hardware for a reason. Anyways, I uploaded some more pics of the headstock with it's new white hardware....
Tomorrow should be the final coat of white for the body, followed by the last taping and coats of red. More pictures coming as they are taken.
