Thread: Taylor (LP-1M)

  1. #1
    HI guys, Rickmo here now known as surfmusic, I really messed up when I went in to use this again.

    Ok, Montana has been delivered, she fell in love with it straight away, now it's Taylor's turn.
    Taylor is older, and I think it's about time she had her own guitar. Birthday isn't untill September, but the way the year is going it may not be finished (HA HA HA).

    Have cut the head stock and found out why Gibsons' are dearer than Fenders. SO much work in shaping and sanding but it's close enough for a 16 year old.

    Here is a couple of pix.

    Thanks Gavinturne & Wokkaboy, am thinking a black head stock face, mahogany stain body and neck, with a redish stain face.

    But by the time it's finished who knows?

    Love the plan - take it as it comes and as whimsy takes you! Great way to go - gives plenty of opportunity for something funky and cool! Looking forward to watching this build. Keep it coming!

    Should be pelagic magic and not end up tragic . . . .

    Another great surf inspired axe in the making.

    Well, where did to day go to?

    Just looking at what I achieved I must have slept in. Gave the head-stock face a few coats of black and I'm not happy. Managed to get more black on my hands than on the job. Did sand the body and check that the neck sits in the right place, so, might glue it tomorrow.

    My stock of Tru oil is harder that ayes rock, so a trip to the gun shop might be in the wind.

    Anyway here is some pix, the last one is just filling in space and is of my first build. (which I need to work on again)

    Rick
