My First Build the GR-1SF

Thanks Gav, I'm stoked! I checked the setting this morning and the crack in the bone doesn't seem to be an issue at all *winning*!!
Cheers

Great work, I could almost smell it watching your vid. Lol.

Thanks! Such an odd smell at that! The first cut in with the saw I was like 😷

Not gonna lie, first time I put a nut blank on the belt sander I gagged a little. Haha. Smells like burnt hair.

Hi ShazzRandom, the guitar you're building looks great, can't wait to see it finished, I've got at least 5 or so guitar kits on my "to buy" list, but I'll have to wait till the weather in Darwin dries up before I do any building.


Keep the videos coming...cheers.

Thanks everyone, I'm enjoying videoing my progress :) and I'm glad you are all liking them too!!

Hey all,
So after a few days of letting the stain dry, I have noticed that the 2nd batch of DT is slightly different in colour, which can be expected for a hand mixed product. I thought after curing that the colour would be close to matching but it currently isn't.
(I will attach 2 photos, 1 showing the back and the walls and another with the face when I can work it out from my iPad or may have to wait till I'm home). Can anyone suggest a way I could try and match them closer. The back is much deeper, more purple-y, so thinking possibly sanding back a bit (not too heavily) to see if I can get it to matching point. As I haven't done the intensifying costs yet, once I get the base stain the same colour it should all be a go from there, it's just matching the base station this point.
Any pointers or ideas would be great :)
Cheers

The pics are pretty true to colour. The difference is rather noticeable compared to front and back.
