V refinish

This weekend I started on my Flying V project – a random V body stuck on a Kramer neck. The type and colour of the refinish would be decided on what I found underneath the paint, and I’ve gone blank and cant think of the name, but I think its plywood that I unearthed… not what I was hoping for, but the more I work on it the more I am beginning to like the random grain of the wood so I am leaning towards a natural finish. But the one problem is that block of chipboard… any suggestions? Or anyone got a spare Floyd Rose lying around? Still got plenty of sanding to do – finished with 80 grit and gone over it once with 120 – need another good session with 120, maybe tonight if I recover from sander’s elbow. Here it is just before I started stripping and sanding: And here it is stripped, sanding begun:

Thought that I should eventually update this thread - here's the finished guitar! (excuse the dodgy posed photo... recorded the project and it should be featured in a local woodworking/DIY mag in the next few months)

As I saw this they started showing United's seven goals from their friendly win last night!

My two loves - music and football. Oh, and my wife and daughter :-[
