Hey good people,
I'm building an electric guitar body to a set neck I bought a few years back on ebay.
I need help with what routing bits I need for this job.
I mean everything from routing the...
Thanks Simon and Mark!
I will give it a try (first individually and if that won't work I will do all of them.
I have a question regarding fret buzz.
most of the frets are great - no buzz, pretty leveled and pretty good job over whole.
I have 3 frets that are buzzing - the 7th buzz on the second D string,...
Thanks Waz!
Will have to wait and see (again this is my first paint job, the previous bass I build- my first one ever, from scratch - had a Tung oil finish (wood combination walnut on top of Wonga)
Thanks Andy.
Actually t turned out quite similar to what I envisioned :)
Thanks Waz!
As this is my first kit, and I'm learning as I go, and I also had this pretty clear idea of how I want the bass to look like, I chose Ash over Basswood probably because I'm more femiliar...
Wow!!! That's amazing job Simon!! you rock! Beautiful color, I love it!
You got that right :) I'm dreaming of the moment I will play it :)
It's going to sound amazing with the EMG active P-Bass pickup
Thank you Simon. I love your comments, I learn a great deal from them.
Thanks!! positive vibes are always welcomed :),
I'll sure learn from every mistake (other wise it's just a waste of time...)
What a horrid few weeks it's been!
Working on weekends only is making this process very long, especially when you do newbie mistakes :mad:
To make a long story short, after I sanded the first coats...
Welcome aboard! Looking forward to see your progress.
Thanks JohnK :)
Thank you Simon!,
I will try that. I hope it will turn out as I want.
I know I shouldn't rush the process, but as I go along I can see the finish line around the corner (especially today, I got the...
I painted the body today, 2 layers of Ultra Marine blue- wet sand between layers

If you look closely you can still see the grains, that will prevent me from achieving this glass...
Thanks Simon!,
I found in Amazon a set of Dremel bits, including 45 degree angle on some routing bits and a routing attachment, So I think i better wait for it to arrive (due in a week) - I'm living...
Cutting the pick guard was easier than I taught, using a combination of Jigsaw, Hacksaw, and files, I got it pretty close.

Two questions:
1. Is there a Dremel bit that I can use to do...
Well I did the mock build (with the original white pickguard):

And a closer look on the body:

Although I really like the way it turned out - I will need to relic the other...
Good idea, although I rather wait until I receive and cut the new black pickguard...
After applying the shellac , the color received is kinda old, relic like (because I sanded some of the primer below off and you can see the wood ), Now I'm not sure if I want to paint it with the...
Thanks, I hope so too :cool:
I found an amazing store I didn't know existed, that sells Shellac and pigments of all sorts... I was like a kid in a candy store..
anyway - will continue my work...
Wow Simon, that's looking great, I love the color (and I love this guitar style - maybe one of my next builds :-) )
Thanks FrankenWashie!
That's helpful. Since I currently don't have a router (was stolen when my shed was ransacked), I will try the hacksaw and sanding paper/files method.
Thank you Simon. Much appreciated.
One more question this time regarding the pick guard - I want to replace the stock white pickguard with a black one - I ordered a 3 ply blank - what is the best...
