'90 JP-90 in Cherry Flamenco, Another Wudtone project

 My second Wudtone project was to refinish my JP-90 Bass with Cherry Flamenco. This took a long time as every coat has to cure for at least one day and you need about 15 coats (multiple layers of deep color, 2nd base coat, 3rd base coat and top coat).

While at it I changed the wiring as well. From Volume-Tone to each pick-up having its own volume. This makes more sense as you can get an in-between sound by mixing the bridge pickup for attack and neck pickup for bottom.


Here is a close-up picture showing what the finish looks like.

I decided to refinish my -97 American Standard with Wudtone Finishing Kit.

Here is the process:

Remove the top coat with heat gun. On attached picture you can see how the reomoved paint looks like.
