Looks great...very cool idea.
Awesome...music programs have been gutted so much here in the US, you'd never see something like this most places here.
I'm a huge Peavey T-series fan (first bass was a T-45 I bough new in 1983). Love seeing the rosewood T-60 neck, old-style toaster pickup, and one of those old, insane Peavey bridges on a tele body....
Yup...true story.. I did a refinish using Rustoleum on a Peavey Raptor a friend gave me and I almost ruined it by letting it sit on foam on one of my guitar stands before the finish was completely...
Awesome! Love the flag design. Glad you got your kit and are cruising on your progress. Gonna be be great.
Well now I have no choice but to start wet sanding mine. Been sitting with my leg up for...
Haha...yup, but we don't let little things like snow or grizzlies get in the way of our little projects :)
Well, this is as far as I can get for a while...I lost track of how many coats...lots (is "lots" a unit of measurement?)...come back to this for wet sanding and polish in about a month. Lots of time...
:) I should have done a Joan Jett tribute...maybe for the wife...
Thanks!
So, when it starts to snow, I should probably stop spraying lacquer on the porch...right?
Hi Gordo,
Where in Montana? Well, there are plenty of pawn shops :) Here's a few: Music Villa (Bozeman), Guitars of Montana (Great Falls), Montana Guitar Shop (Paradise), Morgenroth Music...
So, I'm trying to finish the first phase of finishing on this project for the inevitable break I'm going to be forced to take for my foot surgery.
Stained the fret board black.
Got the black...
Well, I'm having a surgery next week and might not be able to do any work on the guitar project for six weeks...AND winter is fast approaching (I'm in Montana), so my window for spraying finish is...
Nothing as sad as someone standing wistfully at the window...waiting for the postman to arrive... :(
Shaping the heel.
Cut three pieces of the 1/8" maple and sandwiched them to fill the void...
Free-handed some of this with the grinder, then attacked it with 60 grit...I was actually really...
...and my wife responds, "If only it was that easy."

Time to sand...
Did the tummy cut...last week when I was doing the forearm contour, I just forgot to do this part and just now got back to it. It's fairly deep in the body, but I decided to blend it in to go with...
Something like this...

I've seen some black ones...there's a couple different designs, but it might be a...
That's really nice! Damn...I see stuff like this and I start looking at the saw and salivating again...
I'm looking at these zero fret nuts as a replacement...hmmm...any experience with them?
Well, I glued a piece of the 1/8" quilted maple to the headstock:

Man, I'm a messy builder...my wife hates it when I get going on a project (and the cats resent me taking over their kitty...
As someone who started out playing a Peavey T-series bass (a T-45), I laugh at complaints about "bass weight." I say, the heavier the better...the Gedenbacker, with all the extra pickups, etc. weighs...
Oh...it might seem like I'm cruising...but I promise I'll be moving at a snail's pace before you kknow it :)
Did some routing...

I rounded the edge with a 3/8" bit on the front and...
Well, completed step one and two...did the forearm contour and glued down the top...

Glued the 1/8" quilted maple top together...hmmm...I went with a lower grade this time (AAA) to save...
Haha...well, I'm going to be having a foot surgery in October and will be flat on my back for a while, and then limited for about three months...figured I would be doing the world's best sanding job...
A friendly bit of competition, perhaps? ;)
Ah...thanks. That looks really nice. Would just need to find a little piece of mahogany...
