Hi !

Do you have special tips about how can I do ? Which what paper grade ?
Thanks ;)
Did somebody have tips for the neck ?
I'm not quite sure what you are referring to. The small bit of tang poking out from the last fret? If it was me, I'd mask off around it, then use a small file to get it flat with the side of the fretboard, then start at maybe 240 grit and work up from there until it feels smooth.
I'm talking about the height of the neckQuote:

No that's fine. Mine is the same.
Mine is the same as well.
Ok, This is because I found the action quite high, after all the settings.
My friend who runs his own music store told me that it was surely after seeing it
It takes a while to get the setup right. Lowering the neck into the cavity would only make the action higher. With the floating bridge it's a matter of finding the right balance of string height, tension and spring tension on the claw. I am currently running 9s with a super low action on the shoegazer and it's wonderful. It has taken quite a bit of tinkering to get it there, but it is absolutely possible.
Ok, so i'll need some work on it ! ;)Quote:

I got a lot of problems and my studies take all my time ! ^^
During this time, I just put some Truoil layers.
Today, I have aged all the plastic parts to give them a more vintage look and shield the guitar (not enough tape).

The cables supplied being extremely fragile, they all yielded on both sides! : /
So I'm going to buy a bit of cable to replace them, but I do not have any more pictures of the electronics to see where I have to fix them again, would someone have some pictures for me?

I will also replace the two single coils by the old pickups of my G & L Tribute Legacy (which have been replaced by Seymour Duncan SSL-1) to give a better sound than currently.

I'm happy to tell that my guitar is finish !
Here's the final result !

I would like to thank you all for your assistance and your kindness, I will surely never have done this without you !
I think to start again very soon with, this time, more experience !
Good job, lovely colour scheme. :)
It looks very nice indeed. Well done!
Looking good Volgar. Well done.
Nice to see you back and with the guitar together! Looks great. What's next?
For the moment, I need money for a luthier guitar, my next will be a custom kit to reproduce the White Falcon ! :)Quote:
