Flick, you're a madman, LOL!! The reason I stopped sunning it was because it was starting to turn green. I am assuming that the clear was yellowing. If I kept it up it would probably become really green. Not that there is anything wrong with green, but want it to be blue so I think I will just add some pick wear and call it quits.

Thanks for the complements everyone. At first I wasn't really feeling it... Like, I think I was in shock from having destroyed a perfectly good finish. I am really diggin it now though.

Also, thanks for the condolences.. On a positive note, Grandma was about to be 92 so she had a long life and lived to see even a few of her great-great grandchildren. You can't ask for much more than that.

I will hopefully be done with the guitar and post some final pics on Monday.
