Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Just wondering; you used multiple pieces I guess to cover the whole cavity. Do you need to connect those pieces with some solder? I ask this because I have no idea if this should be done.

Depends on whether the adhesive is conductive or not. If it passes a current across the pieces it should be okay?Originally Posted by Kick

That blue stain is killer!

Kick, what I do is , on the overlap I fold the tape back under itself on one edge, so the "top" is also in contact withthe layer underneath. If you press down hard it stays in place, I've not had any troubles doing it this way

Do you have multimeter? You cound just test the conductivity across the cavity from place to place.
cheers,

@Dedman: that is a simple and effective solution. I'll do the same when I am gonna shield mine.
@Gavin: I do have a multimeter so I can check.
Sorry for the question in your topic Woolley

No apologies required - all good stuff. I never thought of folding over the edges - top tip.@Dedman: that is a simple and effective solution. I'll do the same when I am gonna shield mine.

However I managed to get continuity across the whole lot anyway, maybe my adhesive is conductive.
Sadly I got a splash of other stain on it so I had to do a cover up. See further on...
Top pretty much done now.
Had some issues (this is my first ever so I expected learning to occur quite heavily) - some water got under the veneer I think, most noticeable around the tone control hole. Seems I must have sanded away the stain on the top horn a bit too.
Quite a decent gloss finish overall though despite me using a dreadful acrylic varnish which proved very hard work.
