Vinyl! Vinyl!

Vinyl finally arrived from backorder!  Wooo!

My phone was out of batteries so I didn't take any pics during the vinyling.  I found some tutorial videos online and got at least an idea of how this should be done.  I used 3M Super 77 spray adhesive, which was recommended on every tutorial I found.  I ended up running out of it and switched to Super 90 adhesive, which I happened to have.  The odd thing is, the super 90 seemed to dissolve some of the adhesive between the vinyl and the backing, and it caused some bubbling.  Lo and behold, a few hours later the bubbles were gone...  suspicious... closer inspection to follow...  

Also annoying, I completely screwed up the vinyl covering on the corners.  I thought the corners would extend farther, but I was wrong, and had to cut off some of the vinyl and add some tiny squares... oh well.  Without a close inspection, it shouldn't be noticeable... I hope.

Anyway, I got the vinyl and most of the hardware on the head and cabinet, but I ran out of time, so here's where I leave you!


Amplifier head case... looking pretty!

Notice the corners... extra square of vinyl

Soon...

This is so close to being done... I can taste it.  I'm terrible excited.  The time for guitars is nigh!
