    Cheers Simon, biggest venue we’ve played to date with unreal sound.



    Hey sorry for the long delay in replying, I don’t get on here as much as I used to. Basically, its just as per the post. I...

    Cheers :) Yeah it was a bit sketch there as well with rain incoming. Managed to hold off till the last song of the following band. Cool atmosphere though, there was a fire pit so auto smoke machine....

    Thanks guys, here's some quick noodling for you. Just straight into the Hot Rod with a little reverb, recorded on my phone.

    Thanks Guys :)

    On the home stretch now. It's wired and assembled and strung up. Intonated with no dramas and sounds like a classic strat through my Hot Rod. Very very happy overall. I have some...

    Bit more tinkering today. Some fiddling required to get everything in but working OK. The bridge holes have lifted the MDF a bit, probably should have drilled them before finishing. Actually probably...

    Yeah this is one of my own designs. This thread covers a couple of different iterations if you have a look back through. I got very into the idea of producing my own guitars for awhile there. This is...

    Little bit more progress. I want to give it a final polish before I finish it up.... but I might just say near enough is good enough.

    Neck pickup alignment is probably .5-1mm out. not enough to...

    Yeah I just don’t have anywhere to set up to do paint properly. The flake is literally just glitter I sprinkled over the base coat. Agree that it’s way too many coats to get decent coverage, but it...

    Thanks Col.

    Been a while. Progress has been slow, just chucking a clear coat on every now and then. I painted the head stock a pearl white (which is very hard to photograph). It looks nice with...

    Seems fine. I've done it twice before, on the flying v semi scratch and the white offset tele thing. Seems to hold up fine, although I don't really play those guitars much.



    Cheers!

    Finally some decent weather to spray in. Body is getting close now. Still a ways off, new job and various other pressures are eating a lot of time.

    Hey man,

    Sorry for the delay in replying, I don't actually surf the forums much any more now that I'm not working from home. So are you sorted or would you like me to vectorise and scale that for...

    Thanks Simon. Progress on spraying has slowed due to two weeks of crappy weather. It's definitely getting there though and probably good for the initial can and half of clear to cure a bit.

    Well so far there is about 3/4 of a 400g can on there. I'm thinking probably another two cans.

    Decided to have a go at the pickguard today to get a better idea of the finished look. It's pretty...

    Dry enough for a quick mock up. Long way to go with the clear coating!

    Dots cleaned up, initial radiusing done, I think I'll give it another pass before I move onto frets. Also made a start on the slot for the nut.

    Few more coats of clear on the body, but doesn't...

    Cheers Drew, plan is to build up a heap of clear and block it back. It’s going to take a while, but I can see some areas filling up on the front of the guitar after about half 400g can of clear.

    Dots in. Had the pilot holes perfectly aligned on the front, but they still ended up slightly wonky after i drilled them out to 6mm. Annoying, but not super noticeable... I guess the test will be...
