ST-1 By nitroburner1000

Yeah 335 S/charged GT, 6Spd Manual. Can be a pain in Sydney traffic but I also do a lot of country driving so it gets a good blowout once or twice a month. @nitro, for what its worth I only flicked my traction control off the once, buried my foot and remembered that I am neither Juha Kankonnen, Ken Block or the Stig. Thankfully no harm done and the traction control button gets left alone now.

Lucky boy, those things are gonna be collectors items soon, hold on to it, and your pants..lol

The TO also serves as your entry pass to the Naughty Warehouse. Welcome, there may be room in the back someplace. Wokka will pour you a beer.

I'm really intrigued to see how the coloured neck turns out under the TO. I was considering doing something similar to the FrankenWashie but the Maple in the neck came up so smooth and clean that I just couldn't do it. It's an idea that I might apply to the SV-1 that I have yet to start on though, will watch with interest.

@DB, I pledge that I will not, and have never used TO and if I was present when it was used I did not inhale.

Ok, so i dont get entry into the NW, but i have got pics of first coat of oil on the neck... will post now.
So ive yet to be addicted to TO!

sounds good Franken.
@ Nitro sorry your build diary turned into a petrolhead jacking haha

Ok im gonna tell you this only once, never apologise for talking about cars, that subject ranks up there with beer and guitars!

Ok, so as i said i played naughty and decided to try a new product, its an oil but also a rubbing finish that contains poly.
Upside it dries in 3-4 hours so great for fast recoating.
After the finish coats, 3 or 4 you can buff and polish it.



So ive applied one coat to the neck..

The blue has turned out a bit teal so i may slightly change the blue on the body to reflect the teal colour on the neck.

Sanded down the filler on the body, first with 320 and finished it off with 400 grit. I applied another coat of sealer to seal the filler and build up the coat where i had to sand nearly to bare.


Thats all for tonight......

Yes, thanks mate, whod think that making a guitar could be soo much fun, i fill, paint, sand and paint again for a living but id give it up in a heartbeat to do this all the time!

Cheers mate, it will be awhile before the blue goes on, a coat of black next then i think i might restain the neck again, not happy with the finish, a bit patchy on the back of the headstock, must of been a slightly porus area that suched up the stain leaving a darker patch.
