Hey guys!
Alrighty, so ive been to hell and back trying to get this flame veneer to pop on top. I started with a mixture of artist oil black and mineral turps, going through the typical process of...
Thanks Simon!
Really appreciate all the advice im getting, I think im going to go with water based as ive got the triple purfling and the binding on the guitar, dont want those nasty cracks...
Thanks fret, im waiting on some free time to get some sandpaper, steel wool etc. I need some black dye because I want to do a black-grey gradient. If im doing a wipe on poly finish, what dye will...
Alright guys so ive just gotten the kit today, its actually gorgeous has a really nice veneer on the headstock. I was wondering if there was a specific order you guys do when doing a kit, fretwork,...

Thanks,

I should've replied to everyone in one post but oh well, cheers waz. Curious so the black ink comes out fairly easy with a damp cloth? Im really wanting the flame to look as best possible and not be...
The brushed steel sometimes you can get the odd high end hardwares with different styles or materials, I know schaller bridges have a vintage copper.
Thanks Washie, ive waited so long (6 months?) , so im quite scared on this one.
Hey guys,

https://imgur.com/a/dfVz9Ke Couldnt upload here so yknow. Leaving the glue for 24hours and then im going to do some shaping to clean it up.
Okay, so ive worked a fair bit on it. Chiselled off the tenon, modified a 2x4 piece of pine to fit a random bridge that i converted from floating trem to hardtail. Scale length 24 3/4 inches. Its...
Thanks for the advice everyone, been under the pump but ive got time on this weekend to have a start.
Hey everyone.
So im still new here and idk if this is the right place to post this, but i was wondering if i could get some input on making a cigar box guitar with a spare LP neck i had laying...
Hey Waz, its an IB-7, reverse headstock. Triple black and white binding, ash body, flame maple veneer, ebony fretboard and routed for a hardtail. Been waiting since the end of Jan, man im keen for it!
Yeh initially i thought it was a pair of toneriders i had because of the covers, but they work well in another guitar i have.
Cheers, i might try to get some help with the wiring on a day off, i thought it was the bridge wire not grounded properly. But its squeals horribly still.
Ive got a lp set neck i did a while back, i did this relic'd grunge front on it, esp pickups, 1meg ohm pots, bone nut and hipshot locking tuners. Ill see if i can get some pics for it. Its good but i...
Howdy everyone, ive used pitbull products for a bit now. Didnt really decide to join up till now. Seeing as ive got a custom kit on the way i thought id say hi. :D
