First project

I attempted to spray paint a green sunburst back in 2013 on this 60’s Harmony (Holiday or H45) and regretted it/never finished it. Finally after 13 years I am happily playing it again and it sounds wonderful. Frets are a little crunchy when I try to bend so maybe I’ll replace those someday. Extra holes are from when someone added a second pickup and knobs. I left them in case I decide to add another at some point. Had to replace the pots and switch, and glue down parts of the birch laminate.
