Ebony timbermate the top, back and headstock today, the plan is to use DT bushfire sunrise on the top and back and leave the neck and sides clear

Hi Barnsey, absolutely love the finish on this guitar. Stunning. Take a bow!!
I've just received a spalted maple LP hollow-body and was interested in the method you used to ebony timbermate the body. Just slather it on and wipe it down? Let it set then sand it down? Something other?? I'm tossing up between Coolongatta gold or Bushfire like yours.

Thanks djefster, i watered it down and mixed it to paste then put it on with a plastic paint scaper then sanded back before it got to hard i think i waited 2 hrs.the applied the stain the next day .
Be careful of the maple top and sanding its thin as paper, the es2v is a nice guitar mines really nice to play

Thanks for that info Barnsey. I'll do a trial on my pine board tmrw. I'd love to attempt an ES2V one day. I have a few backed up now while I finish my Tele Thinline.

Attachment 24054 sounds great around the campsite

Nice :D

Realy nice, all these sweet GR's. Add another one to the wishlist.

I need some help here guys, the earth from the bridge had snapped of, ive fixed that but now ive got buzzing it stops when i push a string onto the pickup screws. I've got no idea about electronics though I'm trying to learn. Some help would be greatly appreciated

Where exactly has it snapped (if you know)?

I had to pull the bushell out it had broken 5mm down the wire snapped ofclean

The noise gets worse when i turn the bridge vol down or master vol down but gets less if i turn the tone down

Sounds like another ground wire has come loose inside, not just the bridge ground.

All fixed same bridge ground wire but at the vol pot

Oh my word. That is really nice. So is this the Bushfire Sunset? Not quiet the Eddy Cochrane orange, but very impressive. I love the black sides and neck. Well done!
