Wow, this is looking awesome.
The guitar kinda looks like it has a personality disorder... on the top, it's got that sort of SG shape, and on the bottom, it looks like a supersized strat. I think you should leave it with a natural, gloss wood colour... it looks just incredible as is. |

Damn, that **** looks like a shredder guitar, but im not really big on the headstock, maybe if it was more like a 3 per side one that would be cool or maybe more pointed like a PRS or ibanez, i like the control setup, what color is it gonna be?

Thanks  and nope, never beforeBandsaw, Ociliating Cylinder sander, Belt Sander Chrisb - Thanks, that helps alot. Do you suppose an airconditioned building will be enoug of a non-humid zone? Backup Guitar - Personality disorder? Excellent, a sg/strat fusion was what I was going for. CoryXCore - I'm going to shrink the tip of the head a little. I like the six in a row look. I think I'm going to stain it a deep red bursting into a red-orange. Fatuglybass - If I had the money, I'd floydrose it Untill then, I'm sticking with a standard tremThanks everyone who commented!! I really appreciate the input and support! ---- Today is nothing more than sanding ... sanding ... sanding. Then I think I'm going to start sealing it with the spraygun our shop has. |

It's the great guitar-building race! Whoever wins gets to burn the other guitar. Consider finding a dehumidifier for the staining process. I know where it is (toronto), the humidity is ridiculously high. |

I think you should use a solid color, the guitar just doesnt seem right with a stain. Or maybe a really thick stain, but still, I just cant see the guitar in a stain without it looking kind of cheesy. In any case, its not me building it, and this guitar looks ****ing awesome.
Great job. |

WE LIKE PARTY
Today I stain it. I did a quick test on a piece of veneer, and I quite like the results:
 Now, I'm off to seal, then stain. I'll take pictures afterwards. Last edited by Zombat : 07-20-2004 at 12:56 PM. |

nope. It goes
Seal - Stain - Finish When I seal it, it'll prevent the stuff on the ends from soaking up too much stain and looking odd. |

Stained the body the first color:
 Today I'll hopefully be able to burst the color. I've got the masks made out for my custom 3-tone sunburst. In the meantime, I worked a little more on the headstock, adding veneer, sanding off the finish it came with, and staining it:   |

Wow, that guitar is kickass, its cool to see original body shapes when theres so many regular guitars going about (no offence meant to anyone else whos built a guitar here!)
Can't wait to see the finished product. Joe P.S It's your guitar so obvisouly you decide how to finish it but if it were me, I would want to do a Mystic Dream finish like on the EBMM JP models! |
