Tips:
Don't sand above 180 g (I go to 240 g) paper before you stain.
Sand more than you think you need to.
Good luck

Hi Ivo Kalis,
can you post a few pictures of your soldering, including the jack plug. That may make it easier to problem solve.
Thanks JohnH.
It has been very hot and humid in Perth over the last 2 months. Hopefully, it will be better spraying weather soon so I can make some more progress.
Great news!
Great work fender3x. She looks wonderful and very unique! I love the colour combo (and the inspiration for the combo). A long build, but hopefully you ended up with the guitar that you wanted (and...
Very nice. This is going to look great when all assembled!
Great work. Looks very nice. I'm glad you got the toneriders in.
Very nice, very shiny. Great work.
I would not use a pocket knife, but if you have those skills if could work.
+1 for this. I also have found that furniture scrapers are good to remove material from plastic pickguards and covers.
Thanks fender3x. But, ERRR, to be honest, I had actually pulled it out a year ago. The neck was a reject with a very bad twist! But I did want to see how they worked. I run a guitar building...
Yes, I use the same clear coat material in the cavities (to avoid any reactions between different finishes). I would not give the cavities the same number of coats as the body, just enough to seal...
I try to seal all the cavities at least once. Even the neck pocket (for bolt on necks (NOT for glue on necks)) at least once before I put on the lollypop stick.
I'm not sure if I need too! I...
I'm not sure, but this is what they look like! This is from a bass neck.
There should be new stock coming in soon!
Hello and Welcome Sutty.
Good luck with your build.
Did they give any indication when new stock will be available?
Hi XP Rider.
What is the damage around the control cavity plate? Is it on the lip around the cavity, or will it be visible when the cover is on?
I'm not sure if masking would really help! Did...
Good luck, may the guitar spirits (and gods) be with you!
Hi and welcome catmeowin. Good luck with the build!
Hi FaustoB.
Not sure, but it looks like the action will be quite high looking at the middle picture (I know the nut is very high). You may want to angle the neck back a bit with a shim to allow...
Hi Ivo.
Yes, for the wiring. Just to be sure - each red/white wire is taped up separately.
For the ground to the bridge - My kit had a small hole drilled from the bridge post hole closest to...
Thanks JohnH.
Today I have:
sanded the body back with 400g paper,
given it a light coat of Ubeaut sanding sealer, gently rubbed it back with 1200 g paper
stained it orange with 2 coats of...
Added a slurry of Maple Timbermate to the Victorian Ash Tele body.
I'm sure I have seen pictures of them before, but never realized that the frets are wood and there is no fretboard. Very cool.
