From the SM web site it looks like they intend for the filler to go on first, then finish. I think that is true of most fillers. The exception, in my...

the Tusq nut is better but bone is still upgrade from the plastic nut, I had an epi 2000 made in Korea with some 57 Gibson and an Angus young in the...

I just saw a large discussion re staining and filler on this forum seems it’s possible to do either but with different results Any thoughts team?

Colortone filler arrived, have never used this product before so after reading instructions I am wondering do I apply stain before applying filler or...

Sounds like one to watch. I have not started mine yet. Never had an LP before and still have a few things ahead of it in the cue. I did upgrade the...

Wow, that is astounding! Sounds great. I think you have invented a new instrument! Sent from my CPH2655 using Tapatalk

I purchased a quilted maple LS Paul with set neck, and spalted maple set net from Tim, got some big plans for them both got to dig out my dye and...

Looks good and sounds great to me! Nice work!

I finally got around to fixing the nut on the flamenco guitar. Can't believe how long it has taken me. The old nut, clearly had to go. Aside from...

Nice colour! I like the dappled light beams idea. And good call with the neck angle and shim.

After 4 coats of wipe on poly the colours really stand out - becoming a fan of wipe on poly so easy and effective. Seems to be a good hard finish as...

I like the 2nd example pretty well, FWIW. Vintage without being common ;-)

I like using log pots on the tone control. It will be interesting to see if you like having the linear pot on the volume. That's less common but...

A man after my own heart! I think the idea of adding hardware that is high quality but won't break the bank is a great idea. Wilkinson is the go-to...

Yeah looks sweet.. and sweet guitars deserve sweet hardware to go with it! I do like Wilkinson gear.. I wouldn’t mind opening a line of hardware...

Wiring done! These are the bits that came with the kit (plus a bunch of assorted wiring and 5-6cm of soldering wire) and this is the wiring...

the scale is 30" ish After a fair bit of research, based on what's available and at a reasonable price, I have bought Stringjoy's 24-90...
