OK, wouldn't want to dive bomb too much for fear of risking a derailment off one of those string guide beads.

What a cool trem...I'll have to look it up.
looks good Fred, purple and gold will be awesome.
have a look at my sister's guitar in my signature, I used purple artists' ink for that
@stan: looks great. You didn't post finished pics did you?
Have you managed to get the acrylic to harden? I used acrylic on my first build and it looks amazing, but it takes forever to harden and I'm not sure it's hard enough.
This is going to be amazing
not finished yet, like all my threads...Quote:

I had the same experience with acrylic...
Which wipe on poly do you use?
I used FW from the green shed on my plywood start and it came up very nicely. But it's oil based so it has a bit of a yellow tint.

Hey Fred, I'm really digging your build. Been looking at a 3-humbucker config too. Also, I have used 2 xtrems so far and I'm very happy with both, especially with a roller bridge! The tuning stability is really awesome. Just make sure you use the stiffer of the 2 supplied springs as the softer of the two compresses down to an unusable height in no time. Watching your build with very keen interest!
cheers,
Gav.

It's not quite a build yet... just getting all the parts together for now.
My son Star Wars Strat is taking first priority I've been instructed... :-)

Ah, progeny enforced priorities. Thankfully mine is still limited to "Read it Daddy, READ IT!"Quote:
