Laughs.... I have a "problem" with peanut paste ("peanut butter") as well...... I hope this isn't as bad as that!

Thanks! They're way better than the ones they replace. Good thing I have all that sanding to do. Not sure when I'd have gotten to it otherwise ;-) ...

Looking forward to seeing it with some color on it. Sent from my CPH2655 using Tapatalk

That's how it started with me. I had a purpose in mind with the first one. i Just wanted a semi hollow that I'd be able to hear when others at my...

If you have a number of builds on the go and way more ideas that you want to try, then Yes you have a problem! Welcome to the club.

OK, so I have been putting off sanding as well! So, today I have sanded the body and neck with 180g to 240 g. Added a bit of pine coloured...

Yes - I've had a few looks at the past builds and there's a mixture of faithful builds of specific models and some that are obviously cusomised to...

Haha. Procrastinating is a good way to get other work done! PS the new patch cable looks good.

So here's an easy way to tell that it's time to do some sanding on my guitar projects... ...I made a bunch of patch cables like the one on the...

No ukulele kits. I wouldn't mind a flat pack acoustic kit!

It seems to have made a difference. Also making a difference, learning to allow the brush to drip off, and learning not to wipe the excess off on the...

That is not a color I associate with Ford...at least not the ones I see around here. What is the maker of your 2K acrylic? I am guessing that...

Yeah, I think that sort of makes a build "organic." How you solve a problem can lead to everything else. On my hybrid bass, the decision I made about...

Wow, thanks for this advice! I will def look into the retarder. The tip on dipping the brush in water sounds like a really good one. I'll keep you...

hey guys I've been trying some different paint but both the same colour here is something some of you guys maybe interested I've done candy apple Red...

.... actually I've quite enjoyed all the guesswork, trials and problem solving....... It is amusing though - what I come up with is both "original"...

I forgot to mention something...not so much a suggestion, but something to consider. It's always good to test the finish before you commit to it on...

I think there is a fair amount of consensus that water based is harder to work with. I really don't have much experience with anything else, but what...

Exactly I've wanted 1 for years Frampton plays 1 Ace Frehley played 1 but it was done in a cherry burst with DiMarzio ,Super Distortion pick ups, its...

I've never worked with water based stain before (or anything water based, for that matter). I like it so far, I would say that it's a bit harder to...

I understand completely. Comfort matters and makes it 'payabie" (I just need to be able to play!). I think it's nearly "tailored to me" - I'll keep...

Comfort when you play it is so important. I made a P-bass with a Pit Bull custom Jazz bass width neck and a paulownia body. I am very reluctant to...

Well this build (there are now two unfinished guitars - which I view as the "one build" given that one "progresses" to the other in lessons learned)...

I was going to go the whole GT stripe but thought nah best not :)

Did you find any ukulele diy kits in there boys, might be an interesting addition to the shopping trolley Tim.

The stripe is a nice touch and really visually interesting. You won't walk into a shop and find one like that for sure.

1+ Epiphone has the Wilshire/Crestwood/Coronet/DC-Pro that are LP and SG clones electronically, but with a different shape. Why should they have all...

I hadn't heard of SamaN before. I found examples of folks staining with their products on the web, but not much about clear coating. I did see that...

Hey guys, thanks for the encouraging words and advice. fender3x, thanks for all of that info, I will take a look at the Platina shellac. Right...
