EMG pickups= I wouldn't worry about the wood so much. I know a guy that made a strat copy out of the maple you talked about and it sounded good, single coil pickups and all. If it ends up too bright or too muddy, thats what EQ is for.

This would be if you were using Titebond or similar wood glue (holds true anytime you use titebond). Peace,Rich I know that that works good for end grain with titebond, but doesn't CA need moisture to cure?

i hear bondo will loosen and fall out on wood Never heard that before, stuff doesn't fall out of cars going down bumpy roads. Never had a problem with it.

Exodus, very cool people to hang out with. Opened for them in 1990 on the on the Fab Disaster tour, 1 date. It was a reception hall for gods sake Had a lot of fun that night.

Spew metal

+1 Exodus kick ass

Depends on how thick it is, your tuners might not sit at the right height with the added thickness. The string posts will be short. What material are you using?

Personally, I think that page is total BS +1 bunch of BS

looks nice, good job.

"computers are hard" Sorry guys just making fun.

Acrylic is.....um...plastic. There must be other sources for nitro though. I like nitro, it's definitely pretty easy to use and looks great. But I'm having trouble getting past the environmental/toxic part. I'm interested in using the KTM9 that LMII is selling --anyone know if it's the same stuff as the water-based finish StewMac is selling? Also, I played around with a tung oil varnish on one guitar --at first I didn't like the results, but it's been close to a year now and I have to say, the guitar is looking pretty good now (I rebuffed it a couple of months ago). I think the oil just needed a really long cure time. Don't know if I'm patient enough to use it again though, not if it takes a 6-month wait before the guitar is ready! But it has the avantage of being non-toxic, all-natural. Oops, I'm rambling. I think the stew mac stuff is the Target Coatings waterbase spray lacquer. Not bad stuff, pretty hard after about a week.

I have stained sample pieces of mahogany with red type dyes, a lot of the brown of the mahogany still shows through. I am not sure if the brown and green will mix well, all you can do is try it on scrap and see if you like it.

How about a color changing paint, color depends on what angle the guitar is viewed. The paint is expensive 30 to 40 bucks for 4oz at a auto paint shop, but that amount is enough for 2 guitars if you follow the instructions. Have fun. By the way colored squares would look way to retro 80's in my opinion.
