I primed the guitar, sanded it back and then primed again. Now it's primer gray. Now I need to pick out some colour for it. Then comes the painting and clear coat. Then I need to salvage the replacement hot rail humbucker off my old guitar -an Encore Coaster (pointy headstock, locking nut and metallic red body made of chipboard, nasty, but I played it in FMW)). I'll probably slavage some of the other hardware off it too.
The Coaster is in bits in my loft. I'm not overly keen to go and get it because of the wasp's nest up there. I guess all the wasps are dead by now (I hope, anyway), but I hate wasps and there's always one or two dopey looking wasps up there, no matter what time of year. There are something like 5000 species of mammals (including humans, cats, dogs, bears, wales, etc), but there are tens, if not hundreds of thousands of species of wasps. And the ones that don't chase you round the garden or drown themselves in your drink, are parisitic wasps (not nice for the host). I'm not against biodiversity or anything, but I'm sure that we could do without a few thousand species of wasps, animals no better than a bee with an ASBO.
