I wanted to see what it would look like if I didn't fill on a gloss finish, as I prefer no filler for matte/satin, but in my opinion it looks odd; high gloss and raw/natural are somewhat aesthetically opposed, don't think I would do a finish like this again. when I've found low spots in my clear after spraying a few coats, I just give it a scuff, wipe on some grainfiller, wipe off the excess and spray again. Problems gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lumberjack Posted July 11, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Okie dokie, that's a wrap! This is really my first proper commissioned build, and I'll be delivering it to its new owner later this evening. Really hope he digs it! I sold some guitars I built a while back, somewhere around 12-14 years ago, but I've never taken someone else's "dream design" all the way from sketches to finished guitar before. Honestly it was a pretty nerve-wracking experience. This is probably the best sounding guitar I've ever built though, and has a looot of natural/acoustic sustain for some reason. I'll post some video/audio in a bit. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumberjack Posted July 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 Thanks so much guys! It was pretty satisfying to try my hand at a high gloss again, it's probably been 10-12 years since I've done it. I remember why I stopped doing them (tons of work) but it sure does look purdy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAK Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Congratulations on the win. Very nice looking guitar; love how the top bends for the arm contour. Great job with that! Just curious; what was the reason you bent the top on scrap instead of to the body itself? Was it because of the water used or something of that nature? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right on about the water - I wasn't exactly sure how this bend would work, or if it would at all, so I figured I'd try to set the bend a bit before hand on the scrap body so the clamp up with glue wasn't as wet, nor as extreme a bend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
