"Partita" - It's been a while since my last build (Little Roarer - Oct '19), so I thought it's about time I produced something. The body is a commercially made wooden hobby/craft box which I sprayed and pinstriped using black, blue and copper aerosols then sealed with a Lacquered topcoat.
The sapele neck got the same treatment. The beech fretboard is blue with black fogged edging with brass frets (Scale 24-3/4in). The 13.5K mini-humbucker and kitchen drawer tailpiece were sprayed copper. I made the bridge from some old weathered hardwood and brass fretwire. I feel maybe that this git could be more suited for taking off the wall and entertaining guests in the sitting room/parlor. Tuned to AEa.

That is stunning, Bob.  A black beauty.  That should be a keeper.

Thanks for liking it Calim.

Thanks for the kind compliments AGP. I thought the copper colour might go well with the darker elements. The back of the neck is "coppered" fading into blue and black like the box. I look forward to seeing your copper-look build.

That is one "Helluva Stunning Build" Bob!, what a great combination of colours, love the Copper Aerosol, I have a can of Hammered Copper spray, which I love, also just acquired a lovely fibre board Rum Box with similar colours to this box, and after seeing this beautiful build, I will definitely be going with the Copper look, thanks for posting! :-)
