The paint wouldn't cure to the wood so we decided to the most horrible thing ever Stripped it back completely for it to be resprayed. [/quote] Boo That's a shame mate, but it has to be done right.

Final pics etc........we're waiting [/quote] Sigh Well at the last check - the paint wouldn't take correctly. Then Rich had to get surgery on his leg and I've no idea when he'll be able to continue. Pretty much fallen at the last hurdle really :/ I think it had been painted now, so it's just really needing the pickups fitted I think (and put together I assume) Quote
neepheid Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I went to see Rich yesterday. Just thought I'd update you and let you know that he's making good progress after his op and is weaning himself off the stormtrooper's boot: It's pretty awesome looking, as long as you don't have to wear it Quote
AttitudeCastle Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Glad he's recovering well! Will drop him a text tomorrow to send some more good wishes his way. It'll been even sweeter when you get her Davie Quote
woodyratm Posted June 20, 2013 Author Posted June 20, 2013 Hey guys, It just appears to have been issue after issue after issue - after the paint there was several uncertain months if the paint was taking etc. I believe Rich was working on the pickguard now, or was - before buggering his neck. Pretty frustrating to say the least. Rich might be able to confirm what the current status is. Quote
neepheid Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 There's a lot more stuff going on in Rich's life at the moment than meets the eye, stuff he won't freely talk about. Quote

woodyratm Posted July 10, 2013 Author Posted July 10, 2013 Okay - Had a proper discussion with Rich and cleared some things up. Good news is he believes that the paint issue is hopefully fully resolved now. More good news is that the neck work is looking pristine and perfect. And [URL=http://s33.photobucket.com/user/ou7shined/media/Osprey%20Guitars/Woodyratm/woody-42_zps6a1f3c33.jpg.html][IMG]http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d67/ou7shined/Osprey%20Guitars/Woodyratm/woody-42_zps6a1f3c33.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s33.photobucket.com/user/ou7shined/media/Osprey%20Guitars/Woodyratm/woody-43_zps52c5c0a4.jpg.html][IMG]http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d67/ou7shined/Osprey%20Guitars/Woodyratm/woody-43_zps52c5c0a4.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I admit, I was getting worried. But with Rich's attention to detail (some might say obsessive ), Should have known there was nothing to worry about. Soon my pretty! Quote
woodyratm Posted July 10, 2013 Author Posted July 10, 2013 I should add as well, those are work in progress. But look at that paint! YASSSS Quote
woodyratm Posted July 11, 2013 Author Posted July 11, 2013 [quote name='Myke' timestamp='1373475309' post='2138097'] The colour!! [/quote] I know! So excited! Quote

eude Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Brilliant! (wasn't ever in any doubt of it being anything but...) Quote

The sixer just covers the heavier stuff, and anything that needs sweeps Hoping to whip up a 4 string super P design with Rich after I saw yours drying! But speaking of ERBs I was interested in planning an 8 string... F# to F if you were wondering ha! Quote
