hare in Italy it was 3:15 AM

i absolutely agree... I've said honduras but I mean swietenia... here in italy sapele (sapelli) is common called sapele mahogany or african mahogany... same thing appens with sipo and other "similar to mahogany" african woods... the known truth is that every african mahogany isn't real mahogany (the "holy" swietenia) but all (swietenia,sipo, sapelli, khaya etc) are from the big Meliaceae family... that said why the bigs can call mahogany the khaya but absolutely not mahogany the sapelli? that's discrimination! or fu**ing marketing... ok, just late night thougs

if i'm right prs (of wich I'm big fan) always talk about honduras mahogany, never heard of african mahogany... isn't it a little obmission?

It looks sapele to me, what do you think? http://www.prsguitars.com/dgtstandard/ this after reading some post on the "sapele vs maogany" debate on some forums...

thank you Madawgony!

well, if it isn't copyrighted...

great! I'd like to see that plan

nice idea but il looks totally unreliable... and $40 is a steal! maybe rotary switch isn't too cool but they're 1000 times better IMHO

Here's my first at GOTM. Mission: take the flag of Sardinia(a little paradise in the middle of mediterranean sea), a nuraghe (an ancient sardinian stone building), a pintadera (ancient die for bread decoration) and the Sardinia itself, and buil a guitar with all this elements... Name: moro (one of those moor heads on the flag that becomes the body) sapelli mahogany body laminated maple and ovangkol neck and fretboard PRS Dragon II pu Gotoh Bridge Schaller tuners stylized pintaderas and nuraghes as inlays (laser engraved) MOP Sardinia as headstock inlay and the fretfoard right out of the laser engraver -
yes, i told cheap but only to say they're not the superexpensive products. a good step indeed, thank you so much for the advices!
-
done! so you suggest the "cheap" way... I'll try my cheap polish with some good pad! the only problem is that i can't find the 3m hand glaze, looked on shopps here and online and found only on the usa...some suggestion?

Hi everyboy, I was looking for a good finishing product, somenthing that can give that "factory gloss" Preface: I use 2k ppg paints, start with 1500 grit (P graded) if not 2000 then switch to 3m flexible polishing papers untill 6000 grit and then polish... the polishes I find here arent that good, they almonst eliminates scratches from the 6000 but creates microscratches themself... So I decided to take a look at those 3m finesse-it//perfect-it... thousand products and too expensive to go wrong.. Also I've found the menzerna prod, either solid and paste http://www.menzerna.com/12.html?&L=1 My questions: Does is the solid compound used with buffing weels superior to paste ones used with foam disks? Does someone use this product? Is it good or there's some better option? uhmmm and, Is my english udestandable? thanks in advance!
