The finish is now dry enough to have the guitar laying in the hanger without getting marks.
But, as the feeling and sound turned out as good as it did, I will not place it there “forever”. I will...
I think the price is OK. But, will it have the right F...-er dimensions?
Good luck!
Btw, are you using acrylic (modern car spray) or what? Do you know how long time it will take for it to be fully hardened?
(My guitar is still not hardened fully and I get marks from...
Btw, found THE method for polishing the neck to a silk smooth, non-sticky finish:
1. Sand lightly/very lightly with 320
2. Wetsand lightly with 500
3. Wetsand lightly with 1500
4. Polish with...
I’ve done some minor fixes and set-up over the weekend. The guitar is now very playable and the neck is really really nice! The finish is OK but I should have sanded more before I started painting...
Fantastic read. Thanks!
In case and with strings!
The guitar is absolutely playable but I will do more adjustments when the neck etc has been installed a bit longer and settled.
Did some rounding of the fret-board...
Btw, another hero (apart from Johnny Ramone) is Olga in Toy Dolls.
I saw them live last Saturday. The last time before that was 33 years ago, i.e. 1/3 of a hundred years … Anyhow, they are still...
I can not tight the tuners yet as I wait for the finish to harden, but, I have tried to “play” it and notes then that the edges of the fingerboard are too sharp (the “wood” itself, not the frets).

Hi, thanks. I will make new pictures. Thanks for the info. I did not think all the way there....
(I blame the solvents from the spraying. I'm spraying in my basement and the smell in my house is...
Needs just a few more coats on the head. Apart from that, done!
Looking forward to string it up and test it but might wait a full week for all layer of finish to harden before I assemble it fully

How is the build going! Happy with bridge? Did you have to shim the neck a lot (to get the right angle)?
I love the color!
Now with logo. Clear coats tomorrow

Soon time to apply the logo!
Do have some sanding marks but I hope to get away with it and that it might make it look "less new"...
(btw, I did shape the head stock using just a std saw and a rusty...
Thanks! Yeah, it was too cold before.
Ready for a few layers of protective clear coat. I do like it so far!

Changed the white color to one with a bit more yellow as the first turned out to be a bit cold/ almost light blue/grey. Think it will look good! Have also changed the tone knob to one from a SG.
...
Outlined the headstock on the paddle head.
Used a picture that I’ve scaled from dimensions I found on the net AND then adjusted to an average of what I could measure from pictures of Johnny’s...
Moved the holes for the stop bar to a more “Johnny like position”
Spray coated the body with filler, base coat and first layers of white (note how obvious it is that I did not use filler on the part...
Hi,
I started this project about 6 months ago and my intention was to build THE Ramones tribute guitar.
Ramones has been my all time favourites and the white Mosrite that Johnny played is my dream...
Hi,
The string tension is not changed by where you place the stop bar.
The distance between nut and bridge does decide the string tension and that is the same regardless of where you put the stop...
... Or update for the MKA-2 ?
I thought he was going to cover the guitar in worn/"best of" porn :-)
It did make me curious...
