I can actually get this uniform and tiny, or non-unform like you see here, or super small and subtle . Almost looks like a pile of tiny ferns.
Fun! Cant wait to do some different colors and clearcoat some.
Definitely more impressive in person...really plays with your eyes
A guitar is an awesome shout Malky. A kind of painted cracked mirror effect. [emoji1303][emoji1303].How is done, it looks amazing, as mentioned, candy over that might awesome, it would be a cool effect on guitar
Tip: When you make video with your phone, why not turn the phone "landscape" at least until I buy my new laptop and UHD television with vertical screens

That sounds cool! I can appreciate a nice transparent finish that shows some grain, but also really dig finishes that Paul Stanley might say are garish LOL.I love guitars with cool effects on them, rather than the boring so called sunburnt efforts which are more at home on a violin or double base or even "F" holed guitars, I was after a snake skin effect in copper Ibanez guitar but it wasn't available left handed, the bastards

That sucks about the no left handed variant though, I guess I never think of that as I’m a righty. Some would say a right righty at that!
Candy probably would be cool! I was thinking last night about maybe doing a trans yellow over blue or green with the effect , or the same with blue and red or layering two complementary colors. Which could either make a really cool shifty kinda deal or just look like total butt. I have no idea which.That’s a very cool finish! It’s a pretty unique looking texture, almost looks like ground metal to begin with. Very cool, some Candy over the top could be an interesting way to go.
LOL, I'll keep that in mind.How is done, it looks amazing, as mentioned, candy over that might awesome, it would be a cool effect on guitar

As a mostly leftie myself, I feel for you. Don't play guitar myself, but yeah it sucks when you see all sorts of really cool stuff available for righties and not much for lefties.I love guitars with cool effects on them, rather than the boring so called sunburnt efforts which are more at home on a violin or double base or even "F" holed guitars, I was after a snake skin effect in copper Ibanez guitar but it wasn't available left handed, the bastards
Try finding a left handed pedal steel guitar. They are made but those that have them must hold on to them since you rarely see any for sale. Also you hardly ever hear of a steel with the pedals anywhere but on the left side. I play the steel and I have a prosthetic left leg. I have bought over time 4 pedal steels and converted them to the right side for the good leg. The last on I bought, the steel maker said that would not be a problem with the way he makes his and I bought one from him. Beautiful steel but if I ever decide to sell it, I probably couldn't because of the pedals on the right side.
Now if I could just play it like it is supposed to be played would be miracle.

I bet that one has good sustain since the strings go through the body. Also I bet it sounds good too. Very nice setup. What are you tuned to???
I like C6 on a lap steel. I also have made a couple of lap steels but nothing as nice as yours. I have one set up for Open E and one C6th. I watch a lot of Youtube players that are over your way and some are very good. Quite a few in Australia also that are excellent. I use a volume pedal with the laps but can't with the pedal steels. They make a volume control that is attached to a hat and you move your head for the swells but they are expensive and since I don't play that well, it would be useless to spend the money for one. With my memory anymore, I can't remember how a song goes, so I don't try to play them much anymore.
I think any Trans or Candy over top would make an awesome Guitar finish left or right handed LOL.
Obviously it wouldn’t be limited to guitar bodies, Helmets would look pretty Badass with this finish too.

I noticed that too Malky.He's still not telling us how he did though
Mine is open E, since I had never played one before I had to keep it simple, it sounds really nice, there is a video of me trying to play it on the thread I linked, the guy in the first video in the thread gave me very positive critique on it, sound as well as build, it was a fun project.
That video is Doug Beaumier who is very good. I have thought at times to order some of his lessons and programs. Still might some day.
Get yours out if you still have an amp and make a quick video of you playing it.
I would like to hear how is sounds and how well you play it.
