I know when I started this build had a few ideas, but I realised once the guitar arrived I let the wood guide me sounds funky but I thought I would let the character of the timber speak, kinda reveal itself as opposed to me imposing my view on it. So its taken on a Accustic Guitar Neck look, which I love as I wanted the timber not to be 'choked'.
nice one HB that neck is looking a treat. Build up a few more clear coats and it will look unreal

Once again thanks, for the compliments. But also as said earlier I lucked out with the neck Timber, Dark rock maple neck against a light maple fret board. The amount of flame in that timber!!!! I have a 2010 Fender Maple neck strat and this kit neck rivals it too no end. BTW I see from your Project list. Finish coat fail.......SAND THE FLOOR.... SAND THE FLOOR.Originally Posted by FrankenWashie
Did the same on the body of this build, back to sanding..............
Yep. Sand the floor. Because you can never do too much sanding......

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
thats it Franken, wonder if you superglued sandpaper to your shoes and walk and slide around the floor would work ? would be more fun than other sanding techniques hahha

Actually, I'd probably use the masking tape trick! Much easier when moving up the grades

haha good idea Franken, maybe get the adhesive sandpaper and just park your jandals on them and remove for the next grade
