Damn! That's going to look so gorgeous when it's laquered! And then with a little bursting and with the solid black sides and the solid black neck to accentuate it... Beautifull!!! :)

SOLID or OPAQUE???
In my specs list paper written "The rest of the guitar should be finished opaque black".
I think solid black will looks better of course.

Tomorrow I will install MOP logo and frets then monday - first laquer layer. Wensday your guitar will be finally painted and ready to polishing.

I'll post all process pics here.

um.. "SOLID" actually IS "opaque" ( as opposed to translucent, or transparent)...

opaque

adjective

1 preventing light from travelling through, and therefore not transparent or translucent

Does anyone (Mike or Sushkov, that is) know if Stepanov's ordered those pickups yet? You can't start laquering it before you've routed the pickup cavities, right? Looking very nice though... :)

Pickups was ordered month ago as I know.
I can make ALL routings after polishing. All edges will be protected with laquer after routing.

Well, I switched to the Bareknuckles about 2-3 weeks ago, he hadn't ordered any pickups then but was supposed to do so right away. Let's hope he did...

Michael said that pickups was ordered. Ask him please.

So let me know what do you think about ebony pickups covers. They must be closed like EMG or what?

Yes, I think so. Mike was worried they'd be to brittle if you drill holes in them, so closed EMG-style will probably be best. If Mike says the pickups are ordered I'm sure they are. :)

Actually, i never said the pickups were 'ordered'... what I told Sushkov last week is that i had already instructed Stepanov to order them.

(Stepanov is supposed to be handling ALL parts procurement, effective two months ago)

However, I just talked to him today and he said he HASN'T ordered them yet (due to some problem getting funds onto his Mastercard account, or something) and he says that tommorrow he wants to go over a big list of parts he would like ME to buy for him right away, as a favor.

So probably I will making a BareKnuckle order tommorrow evening. (assuming Bareknuckle arent closed for the holidays)

The reason that procurement was handed over to Stepanov is that if I order parts on MY credit card, then they have to be shipped to MY address - which means that then I have to go way across town and stand in line at the post office for hours on end, day after day, to retrieve all of the parcels (here in Russia, all parcels must be addressed to an INDIVIDUAL, and the individual in question has to show their PASSPORT in order to pick one up)

To be honest, I have MUCH better things to do with my time than stand in line at the post office, and Shamray really can't afford to pay me to do it. My hourly rate consulting fee is roughly ten times what Stepanov makes an hour... (my time is very valuable! :-) )

Yes, i just contacted Tim and placed our Bareknuckle orders (for your guitar and also for CS-1984).

They won't actually be able to process the order until January 3rd, when they are back to work.

Pickup winding is a pretty labor-intensive job - I'll wager that he is happy to be taking a whole week off :-)

Some new pics from Mike, the black has been applied, in fact the paint is still wet in the pics. Don't quite know how far along it is in the process, but looking promising so far! ;)

Here's a colour-corrected version of the 3rd pic from the left that Mike sent me, it's a lot closer to what it looks like in person as his camera apparently makes everything look a little redish.

Good news! I've gone through the final specs with Tim. He's going to sort them out so they'll have flush tops, should make it easier to mount the closed ebony covers that way.

Hi Sushkov, you working over the holidays? ;)

That was quick, I figured the laquer would need more time to cure, it took about a month on CS-0057 and that was also around this time of year. But I guess that varies alot from time to time.

Looks sweet though! :)

Yeah, not too bad huh? ;)

From what I've been told it's supposed to be more bluish then what these pics show though, I think it's the flash and possible the shop lights that gives it this more pinkish tone.

I think I'll ask Sushkov or Mike if there's any chance of some outdoor pics at some point, they usually show of the true colour better. Assuming the weather is decent, that is...

sushkovs camera in conjunction with the workshop lights definatly do add a purple colour to the guitar, 1985 was a good example of that
