chops1983 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Alcohol is the solvent for shellac. Next time use a little water on your shellac if you want to wet sand. Otherwise good work on the first build! Did you use a top coat of clear or anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VesQ Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 My first guitar was not all that great either, but are you happy with routes you did for pots ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foil1more Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Nope no top coat. If it gets any serious scratches I want to be able to easily fix them and shellac is about as easy as it gets (even though it is more prone to scratches. And yep, I'm happy with my slightly recessed pots. I used a 1" forstner. I think it looks cleaner to have the pots recessed on a carved top. I'm happy with this guitar. It sounds great, the top turned out pretty shiny, the neck turned out good, and nothing broke when I strung it up. Now, I just need to get better at guitar.
