Hey guys, wondering if anyone can help me with a wudtone question. I wanted to paint a white line to my headstock to simulate binding between a...

Sorry for not replying earlier. The way this forum works is very old school. I am not in Australia (I wish!). I'm currently living in Chicago,...

And we have a winner! Just tested it outside the cavity with the old screwdriver trick and getting thumps from both pickups. Thank you But if...

Ok a few wiring pics. First pic is trying to capture everything in one shot whilst still showing all the connections, then we go from front to back...

The stand is a pretty generic Fender one, had it for years, no idea what kind of rubber it is though. Clear coat had about 3 weeks curing time since...

It is possible to sharpen blunt files with citric acid so maybe that will work on rasps too. Google sharpening file with citric acid.

LP's are my favorite also. I have 3 which are my main guitars. I will screw the neck on (I know it is not true LP style) as I have some experience...

Awesome details you put into it. Is the trussrod cover made from wood? It looks crazy good.

Nice job. Jim C

When I did the neck on my lockdown Mandolin project I bought a couple of cheap chinese made wood rasps from the local luthiers supply because they...

Too much praise folks, it's not done yet and I still have plenty of opportunities to screw it up! Yeah, I'm afraid you are right here ;-) ...

I love the spalted top. Also the headstock. LP's are my favorite kits, very sad they're not available from PB anymore. Do you intend to screw the...

Interesting top. Look forward to seeing this progress.

My first thought, based on your previous control cavity photo, would be possibly a solder lug (or something else) shorting against the shielding....

I took some photos of the electrics in situ but I don't think they're clear enough for diagnostics.

Soon as you drive them out of the showroom. cheers, Mark.

I have no self-restraint in matters like these. As you may have guessed by now!

And 404 on an Android tablet.

Thanks. I'm glad my stream is helping someone else out BD. Mark, the Timbermate I have is 4 In 1 and specifies it is for grain filling as 1 of the 4,...

I've had good results with Timbermate to grain fill mahogany under solid and transparent nitro finishes - smooth as glass. The mahogany is nowhere...

Well you can't rule out dumb luck then. I think if you put many coats on then sanding sealer should do it, but it would be better to use a...

Thanks Mark, I know people who have had Timbermate stay level after it has dried and been sanded and there are no craters I am trying to fill, only...

If you are painting then from first hand experience best steer clear of Timbermate. Even if it initially seems to level off, you wait some weeks and...

Alright thanks for all your help

I just checked and it's 404ing for me in Chrome.

I don't have specific experience with what you're planning, but there has been plenty of discussion around this recently...
