ScottR Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 I meant to mention...that I love the F-hole. That sounds so dirty... Which in a guitar is actually a good thing. It's good to hear from @Muzz. He once had the distinction of authoring the longest running thread, POINTY STICK, I do think @Norris has probably usurped that honor by now though.

Bizman62 Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Holy Mackerel, Kid! First I'd like to thank you for that beautiful intro, it totally made me stop and listen. I already had my mouse pointer ready to jump forward after a few seconds but you really did justice to the looks and sound properties of the guitar. Was that your own arrangement of the classic? If so, I'd like to get an album full of those! Very refreshing to hear something else than metal in a guitar demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very refreshing to hear something else than metal in a guitar demo. thank you biz. that is 'yellow rose of texas' by albert lee. doesn't sound very hard -like his typical stuff... but all over the place he does doublestop slides where he changes the distance between the two notes he's sliding. still learning that song 20 years now! thanks -you are very kind.

Well, it's your native music, not mine... now that you mention it... I think you are right. (I'm senile). I learned it from a "master class with albert lee" book about 20 years ago. It was an off the cuff recording of him that doesn't appear on any of his albums. in my defense... both are waltz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizman62 Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hey, things happen! And having built such a beauty you're allowed to be a little confused. The meter of "Rose" seems to vary, the first notes I found said 2/2 but truth to be said I've never really understood the difference between the two.

SR I feel like the back might be mocking me tho... "You'll not top this!". ok. we'll see. going to try to do a cherry burst with a preval kit and some watco lacquer and aniline dye - any advice on that? I'm guessing you just mix the dye w alcohol, let it sit for a while, and drop some in with the lacquer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will work. The preferred method is to mix the dye with the solvent for the medium in use, which in this case would be lacquer thinner. Remember that it is an additive process. Each coat darkens what is already there. Also, if it is your first time, do not be alarmed at how dull and matte the tinted coats look. They'll go to transparent gloss as soon as you spray a layer of clear lacquer over them. Finally, make sure you enough enough clear layers over your tinted layers. You do not want to get into the tinted layers when you are leveling. SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it mixes with either alcohol or water so will research that. Good info afa dull. Already one step ahead afa clear layers under. Had already thought of that as was anticipating - if things go wrong - might need to restart the burst part and don't want to effect the yellow under... but thanks for confirming I'm on the right trail!
