ElysianGuitars Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 heres the quilt top RGA7 in stain before i sanded it back down, kind of a sneak peak in a ways. http://www.elysian-online.com/ConcurrentRGA7s/IMG00269.jpg used the ferrules from my RG7421 to figure out the depth to drill to, the ones i ordered from stewmac are the same type and size.

Narcissism Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 howcome you stuffed the trem and pickup cavities with newspaper before you painted? I'm finishing a guitar, and i was wondering what significance it had, if any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
