Thanks VH. It was a bit firmer wax then I expected. I had to buff a fair bit. But it's come up good

Told ya it would take some elbow grease :p
Its the Carnuba wax that makes it nice and hard and it will continue to buff as you play the Guitar.
Well worth the effort Shazz, looks great

So that means the buffing is never really finished... it'll look better as it ages!
Looking great, already, though! You must be stoked with the results!
I think I'm summer ready now!! Ok sweet, so I shouldn't be freaking that it's slightly 'tackyish' to touch?Quote:

Looking great Shazz. Cant wait to see it all assembled!
cheers,
Gav.
Thanks Swanny! I don't know how many times I've done a dry fit now with all hardware in place just to see what she will look like!Quote:

ah ok no worries Shazz I forgot these bodies are wide enough to get your hand inside, only semi hollow body I've built is an ES-1G and you would barely get a baby's hand inside the neck pocket
Yeah I have fairly big woman hands haha so it's tight but I can just get it in hahaQuote:

Thanks Andy! If you need any detailed help, I used DB's videos off the Dingotone section of the website! Hope it all goes well for you!Quote:

I haven't even heard of this until a few days ago! I used braided wire on my ES-12G, but also used GFS pickups, instead of the ones supplied in the kit. I don't get any hum/noise except when I hit the strings.
But, it would be fun to try a new skill! How many people can say, "Hey, I just wax potted my pickups!"
Shazz. New forum member TonyW seems to know a fair bit about wax potting pickups. Send him a PM. He also winds his own pickups
Great work Shazz, that red is awesome, nice job
Hey Wokka, I have already done mine :/ I did them right when I posted! I hope I've done it right hahaQuote:

So with all the festivities and family gatherings I have not had a chance to do my wiring. So it will be a little longer till the beast is up and strumming!! I don't have an ETOC hopefully not too far away!!
Hey Shazz, I think everyone is in the same boat !
Sure you will get around to the wiring soon.
Sometimes you just have to kick the rellies out and tell them the axe can't wait any longer hahah
Haha I wish I could tell them to get out but I live with some of them :p
My husband and I move into our house in March so I'm sure lots of building will happen then!! (Still hoping for earlier)
good stuff Shazz, hope the new house has a nice woman cave somewhere to build a workbench and some tool space !
It definitely will!!Quote:

cool video Shazz, I've never seen it done but it's a simple procedure. Hope it stops the feedback, sure it will help anyway
