Danelectro Longhorn Guitar (2/2)

"The Pumpkin"

Automotive acrylic lacquer is not as awful as nitrocellulose, it has much less propensity to simply self-destruct, and this guitar has held up pretty well. Stay far away from nitrocellulose, it is antique garbage.

Sometime around 2015, while I wasn't paying attention, Danelectro snuck this out. Mine is the original. In fact, I sent them a picture of it years ago, and probably gave them the idea.

Full-Sized Plans

It really helps to make full-sized drawings before you start a guitar project. But finding guitar-size paper can be a problem. My Home Depot has big rolls of brown wrapping paper outside that are a good size, I tore off a few yards. Below, I've drawn a plan on a nice big piece of cardboard I saved that was the backing for something. But how do you transfer these plans to wood? I don't want to cut up my master, I need some extra-large tracing paper. So I went to Staples, but the closest thing they had was still too small, and $20. So I went to the supermarket next door, and found this baking paper.
