I saw this guitar in a store window as a kid at a guitar store in Park St in the Sydney CBD, it was cherry red and hanging in the window for months and I never bought it. I regret it and it is the...
Thanks Mark,
Gotta say if it wasn’t for you guys in here in the early stages, I may have just chucked it in.
I had a few setbacks, but these things for a novice can be quite off-putting.
So the...
Fixed I think
Ok, so after the slamming I did to get them seated...I actually split the wood in the rear I’d the cavity beneath, I didn’t realise until I turned it to setup the trem.
It hasn’t ruined it.
Good...
Got it, thanks! Ok! I’m back at it.
Hey, you were right, more force, I had watched a you tube, and they seemed to sink much easier, they are now nicely seated, a bit of a heavier hit and I got them in nicely.
Thanks, I used the manual online, but they didn’t have mine, I will follow your links.
Got an ISSUE:

Bridge posts sitting proud and I can’t get them in deeper, yet they are deep enough holes
So it has been a long time, since Jan when I last posted.
Well my paint went off the rails, I took a hiatus to clear the mind and now I am back on it. My big Plan for water-based paint job failed...
Hi , I have he same kit but I can’t find the wiring diagram to connect the posts to the p ickups. Any help?
Update: Yes to ALL the above paint tips. Well now I have it back to bare wood again.
More sanding tomorrow and Bunnings for paints again.
As a side note, sanding back all the layers of paint and...
So I decided the grain had grown on me... I started clearing it, thinking it will look kinda cool, so about 5 coats and two days in, I added a coat of clear and it bubbled in 2 spots, just 3...
Cheers Simon, thanks for that mate.
I was hoping Not to take it back to bare wood again, and I thought the primer I hit it with was a grain filler because I even sanded that back and then re-sprayed...

Welcome mate,
I am new too and am freaked about the things I need to do especially in the setup process.
Enjoy the build.
G'day mate,
Yep heaps of help here.
I also have limited skills in building with wood, although I just spent another $100+ on stuff to finish the guitar.
NONE OF THIS IS OBLIGATORY I AM JUST...
Yesterday was a Saturday but I reckon he'll get back to you Monday.
He was really good with me, quick response and I am in Sydney.
That said, he may be getting loads of these requests depending...
After applying the undercoat it really emphasised all the tool marks I missed. this morning I started sanding and realised how deep the undercoat has filled.
After sanding every ripple and wave,...
UPDATE:
Stuff went slightly left of centre.
I did go to Bunnings and returned with all paints bu the undercoat I got was Zinsser Bullseye 1-2-3

Hi McCreed,
Thanks for the fretboard tip. I expected the “light delivery” would lead to a longer process overall. I think I will use
My medium gun (when it arrives) to do
All the larger areas,...
Sanded the body, off to Bunnings tomorrow to get some sanding sealer clear, some Frog tape and a water based black gloss and some clear coat.
ANY TIPS on this plan please?
I am going for the :...
Hi McCreed,
I just bought an $18 gravity fed medium size spray gun, but I have a double action airbrush and I am hoping to do some lavaburst black and red effects on my body.
I have been thinking...
IT has the perfect tone for that song, it really sounds good. Actually I hear a bit of Mossy in the tone come to think of it (Breakfast at Sweethearts.)
