Dragon SG Jr. Last Coat of Clear

Last clear coat on Dragon SG Jr. Clear coat couldn’t level earlier because I tried spraying in 100 degree weather. 85 degrees is the max temp I can spray at But reached that temperature at about 1030 ish my time and lasts pretty much all day. Spray finishing has to be early around 6-7 am for the natural leveling to occur. Very bumpy finish when sprayed in hot temperature. Unfortunately with summer here, my number of coats per day is really limited now. Can only do 3 or 4 coats a day if I’m lucky.

Will let this one cure for a week and then level sand and polish for assembly. Ran a pickup analysis on Epiphone SG humbucker, it’s ceramic with resonant peak of 2kHz. Trying to copy a JB SD but muddy as fuck. Will ask the user if he wants me to upgrade it or I can give him my univox clone. Should sound way better.

User pretty happy so far. He wants the univox style pickup I’m cloning. Gonna dip in Lacquer and install in SG. I’ll wire it 50’s style. Can’t wait to hear it.
