I am trying to work out which Graph Tech TUSQ nuts to get to go into the Explorer- and Ibanez-styled kits.
I've tried measuring the ones that come with the kits, but they do not match anything on...
Thanks for the suggestions.
There is still flaming in the area, so I know that I'm not all of the way through the veneer...
I've been finger dabbing dye directly onto the area, then lightly...
I'm getting a little more colour into that stripe. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to increase the amount of dye being absorbed?
Perhaps a VERY light rouging up with sand paper and/or...
I've got a bit of a finish issue, if anyone can help. A light patch after my first base coat of wudtone.
Has anyone experienced this? I thought the area would blend in with the first base coat,...
Ok, back on track!
I can tell you that acetone with a toothbrush did not work, but acetone with 0 grade steel wool did. On the body, anyway.
I tried this combo on the join down the centre, but...
I just gave it ANOTHER go, and it is still the same :(
I am going to try very lightly sanding next, as I am now at the point that I don't care if I damage it. I have kind of written it off in my...
Thanks for the feedback Simon.
I am considering splitting the PG, but not the '59. Internet 'wisdom' seems to go that direction.
The bridge that came with the kit is flat, so there should be no...
I am considering getting an SD Pearly Gate pickup in the bridge and an SD '59 in the neck. Any thoughts?
Also, would a Wilkinson 52.5mm (2-1/16 inch) String Spacing Hardtail Fixed Bridge for a...
Simon -- I think that review might have been the reason that I decided to give them a go in the first place :)
Will do. Thanks
Hmmmm... not having much luck with the acetone and toothbrush. The stain came away easily, but not the glue. And the lower join line is still really obvious.
Do I need to go a bit harder on the...
Thanks for the tip on Angelus leather dye. It is a LOT cheaper than Wudtone!
The best jack that I have found are the Pure Tone Mono Multicontact. I've retrofitted all of my instruments and amps...
Oh, I am using wudtone azure lake, if anyone is interested
Thanks for that. I'll give it a go!
Hi all
I started my 1st build today -- an AIB-1F, flame maple "Ib-style/S-series" guitar (as far as I can tell).
I put my grain darkener on, and found a whole lot of glue smears near the edges...
That's as good a reason as any! :)
They both look good, so it is a hard choice...
If you don't mind me asking, why did you pick the Q over the F?
I like the look of both, but I am tending towards the F right now...
Hi all
A quick question -- what is the AIB-1F most similar to with regard to commercial instruments?
Also, when finishing a veneer guitar like this one, does it matter that there are two...
Yes, I ordered the nut upgrade as well. It seemed like a sensible option at the time
Thanks for that well-considered response. It was extremely helpful!
I have decided to get the ash body, maple neck, ebony fretboard setup with the grover tuners -- I would probably have bought...
Hi, first time building, so lots of stupid questions...
I am considering the Pitbull Explorer with the ash body.
How good are the electrics? Will I want to replace them anytime soon? Is it...
