Thanks Simon,
I’m wondering if it was a crack that the water got into when sanding? And that made it blister? I didn’t notice it before I started.
I think we’ve got some more settled weather...

Thanks Simon,

Ive wet sanded the sealer with 1000 and it feels lovely [emoji4]
One thing though - on the back, in one small area it seemed to blister. I’m guessing this is a temperature or humidity related...
Today I manned up to spraying - I've been apprehensive about doing it so found lots of reasons to put it off.
Last night I hung up some plastic in the shed and moved out anything I definitely...
Thanks Simon :)
Thanks Simon - I’ve got a humidity meter which I’ll put in the shed. What humidity level should I be aiming for?
I’ve got some extra cans so good idea to do a test spray first… looking at the...
Hi everyone,
Progress has been steady - I've glued in the neck and filled the joint, stained the back/sides and done the top. The top started being quite bright but I think I'm in danger of over...
Nice work Mc!
Good progress made today. I sanded back the of the veneer to make it an even 2mm. Then thinned down the face of the head stock with a chisel. This was the first time using a chisel like this. I got...
Yes! this is what I should have done. I drilled the holes first as I thought it would give a good feel when positioning the bear. But I guess it doesn't matter as long as it roughly in the ballpark....
... so I was lying in bed one morning flicking through Facebook when this fretwire LP came up on the market place for a good price. I was itching to start a new project so I made the chap an offer. A...
Hi all,
It's been a while. I finished build number four sometime ago. It's a Jackson Dinky based super strat:

The kit was from guitar kit fabric in the UK. The kit itself was not the...
Thanks everyone - it was a lot of fun to do.
And now I want to build a gold top LP!

Here's a little something that a couple of friends and I have been working on. I used the tele on it so I though it would be a great way to show it off here. Unfortunatley you get to see my ugly mug,...
Yeah aside from the neck, the refinish and dropping the neck on the refinish it went very well ;) :D
I've got something pretty cool in the pipeline for the demo with some help of some friends :)

This build has been going for the best part of year now. With all the neck issues now resolved I managed to get a few coats of TruOil on the neck, applied the decal and polished up the headstock...
Excellent ideas - I’ve had problems even getting the saddles to sit straight. It seems when I turn one legs it skews the saddle off to one side. I have to lift the string a push it back.
But the...
Nice Mc - I like the unconventional scratch plate and the chrome knobs!
I like the look of the triple tree - Amazon seem to sell them too.
Thanks Simon, my G string is unwound. Are you suggesting the resonance might be coming from the other wound strings?
I am using staggered tuners for exactly this reason. But it has settled down...
Thanks both!
I've added it to the list of guitars to refinish when I "get good". So far, of the three bodies I've done, the Tele has best results. This also suffered from the unevenly applied...
It's been a good while since my last update on this. Progress has been slow but this week I finally got it all together. The weather isn't great for glamour shots so this will have to do for the time...
Thanks, yes I was talking about searching the forum not the PB site.
I did a scout around and the hyphen issue is well known amongst vbullentin admins. There was some suggestion that it had been...
Thanks Simon - figured as much. I just thought it would have a been "improved" by now. It could be a nice sales tool for PB?
Hi mods (and all),
I'm considering another PB kit. :eek: So before asking a ton of questions that have already been asked, I tried to search the forum by kit number, e.g. IB-1F. But that yields no...
Yeah - agreed, if it was anywhere else it would have been easier to accept.
I think the most efficient way to deal with it would have been to let me know as soon as it was visible and then I have...
After a bit of toing and froing with the vendor, we've reached a conclusion. They maintain there was nothing wrong with the neck as it's entirely cosmetic. But they are willing to swap it. They have...
