You might find that some home insurance companies won't touch musical instruments, even when they don't leave the home. I was advised by a few a number of years back that they won't cover them, and I had to get a separate music equipment policy. Certainly worth checking with your insurer.

Surely lockdown doesn't have to end for anyone to splash some cash on some new gear. Unfortunately, it does mean you can't visit a physical shop until it does end.

Looking forward to hearing about further forays into getting results.

Though he was a bass player.

Also, how close are you to the monitor, and are you facing it when you're playing? Try sitting at right angles to the monitor when recording.

Did you sand the body down before you started painting? How many coats of white did you put on before lacquering? Did you "flat" the white before adding another coat? Only done it a couple of times, I'm sure someone else will have more experience, but, you do need to sand the original paint to allow the new paint to have something to bind to. You don't necessarily have to take it down to the wood. Having plenty of coats of paint will add to the finish. Thing is, you do need to let the previous coat dry out, then "flat" it back with a fine grade sandpaper/wet & dry. Just like with car spraying, it's all about adding layers (had a couple of mates who played and were also working in car repair places, inc. re-sprays). I'd sand it back and start again. Importantly, take your time.
