Hotrock Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Alright guys. Have any of you built a guitar from acrylic? My brother wants me to knock him up a Warlock bass (body only) using acrylic and never having worked with acrylic I'm a bit worried. Can I use the normal router bits and tools that I use for wood? How hard is it to polish up and finish? Can I route a binding channel in it? I know that there is a type of glue to use for acrylic (it dries clear) but I can't remember what it's called. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers dudes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKGBass Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 No idea, though I played an acrylic Warlock and hated it. I'm just a woods man, haha, i would probably melt acrylic or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrock Posted February 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 It's what the man wants! He originally wanted green acrylic but I've managed to talk him out of it. Taste obviously doesn't run in the family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotrock Posted February 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Promised to wind him some pickups too. I've got to stop being generous when I'm drunk. Just out of curiosity can you make acrylic necks. I've seen the casper strat but is it feasable for a bass. I should be using a fender neck but I'd quite like the look of an acrylic one.

skibum5545 Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Heck, it could be a 1-piece acrylic guitar! But I think the neck would need some reinforcing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
