LP: Paulownia Nitrocellulose red

[joshj]

Just wanted to share my First LP build:

Paulownia slimline body finished in Nitrocellulose Lacquer for a vintage styled guitar. Just started a Graveyard Disciple I'll keep you posted

looks good, what pups are in it?

[joshj]

everything in this guitar is exactly as the kit available LP-1P the only thing I changed was the machine heads for matte black ones, if your looking for a LP kit I recommend this one as it is lightweight, feels and looks good with some time and effort with GOOD lacquers this body is by far the better option for a regular guitarist

Hey great guitar. Just a query, im building an Lp1m and wondering, besides stewmac where could i buy buffing compound and a drill attachable buffer? because with the added shipping it becomes quite expensive.

Thanks guys

Try an Auto store. Like super cheap or auto barn. They sell all sorts of buffers. And lots of different compounds. They might not be as good as the StewMac buffing compounds that are designed for guitars, but good automotive compounds will work well too.

Hey josh where did you get nitrocellulose? Isn't it banned here? I can only find acrylic lacquer at the moment.

This site has it

Or look at Wattyl Stylwood...but only available in 4litres, in varying levels of gloss.

Hey LPBuild

On an earlier build (acrylic finish) I used the Meguiars Scratch X for buffing (available at most car parts places). It is meant for getting fine scratches out of car paint, but worked great at getting rid of orange peel and swirl marks in a painted finish....I picked up the hint to use this from some other guitar forums.

Ok cool thanks will that give me a high gloss finish? and do you know about a drill attachable foam pad? Thanks

Hi Darren, doesn't Meguiars Scratch X contain silicon Oil?
