Great job Paul.... i did finishing a guitar using TO and the results were not as i expected.. but yours looks so so good!!
S!
sometimes you eat the bear....and sometimes the bear eats you
Tru-oil is something you have to know when to leave alone, i do light coats and leave for 24 hours to cure before adding the next, after around 10 coats i level the surface with a used piece of P400 wet & dry then use P1500 i then clean it off and check the surface then a final finish with P2500. i then start the process again but only do a couple of coats before giving a rub with P1500 & P2500.Originally Posted by sansan
It's a long laborious task but the finish can be fantastic. The Rick is getting there i'll do a final sufface check then offer it up to the buffer to see how it comes up.
Greetings, spent the day with the buffer and various polishes working on the finish, it is taking shape and i will have another look in light of day before i make my mind up.
I have notched out the scratch plate to sit around the neck, i will work on getting the overall shape a little better and i may add a chamfered edge to the scratch plate.
looking good Paul on the home stretch now !

Well totally pi$$ed off, attempt to secure the machine heads even with pilot holes 2 screw heads have snapped off, talk about cheap garbage steel. Gonna have to work out how to extract whats left of the screws from the timber without doing too much damage, not impressed one little bit.
