I've been using Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinkys 9-42 on my Fender and Rick since 1989 and recently Mangan or D'Addario NYXL 10-46 on Gibson scales.
As a kid in an Indie band, I didn't like Gibsons back...
Most of the Timbermate got sanded off, ended up more used as a pore filler than grain filler.
Thanks Simon, I was thinking of going with a primer coat soon. My issue is with the curves and...
I ordered Straw ColorTone based on a StewMac YouTube vid where they used it to match a vintage neck repair. I didn't want too much amber in mine.
Haven't used it yet maybe get to that next week.
So I've spent 3 weeks making sawdust and getting close to painting. Although it's a pity to paint this body a solid colour.
Since I'm not using any kit parts (no chrome kits left - and I would...
Really classy!
I originally intended keeping it square but sloping off in a curve. The problem is the rectangular neck plate and screws is much better quality!
I have exactly the same problem with my baby drill press I've had for years. Good luck and steady hands!
Really good idea, but a lot of hassle for a hidden area! I think I'll leave it as bare primer.
Typical, I ordered an assymetric neck plate off fleaBay over 3 weeks ago, supposedly from Sydney. I'd just given up on it!
Today, I decided to have a work from home break - living in the study is...
We can all offer suggestions, but at the end of the day, it's up to you.
I'm tearing my hair out thinking of my own.
I vote bigger B and C. The top one looks like blueyeaster
Good advice - I've got a set of vinatge Klusons :)
I am doing to do a basic build before any finishing. Pretty much everything except fret dressing and small holes like pickguard screws.
The...
Classic Tele - looks fantastic!
Probably the only real flaws, are firstly a gouge on the neck pocket, I'm open to suggestions as to how to fill it! I have some mahogany timbermate sfom years ago (and some ebony from the SG build)...
Something arrived today, delivery time not excessive considering what Aussie post and Star Track have been going through. They were delivering to neighbours all ANZAC long weekend. I saw a Posite in...
I like the CamelCase!
Looks great. My first one came out a little assymetric as well.
You'd never know these days, you're not allowed to get that close!
Sensational. To get that with TruOil, it's a lot of prep and a lot of coats!
Have you started the neck?
I can't wait to see the body :)
No point saving that 12 year old until it's 17!
I used Birchwood Casey (TruOil) Stock and Sheen Conditioner on the back of my first build. Smooth.
Gunsmiths stock it.
You could probably make a paste yourself pretty easily.
With jugglindan, polish that body - it's gorgeous!
Pumice the back of the neck.
Not scientific at all. Just put drops in 30-40ml of water until it looked red, maybe 20-30.
Then did it again stronger ;)
I did raise the grain first though, twice.
Good heads up, my first coat was a bit pink but upped the concentration and got what I wanted. I guess you get what you pay for!
