LukeR Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Hahaha- thanks for answering the questions Setch. RGGR- it looks red on my screen- i am not having a go at you, maybe you may want to think about an eye test- I had a friend who sees some red shades as purple, and it turned out he had a degree of colorblindess. (Sorry for the thread hijack- I tried to pm RGGR, but it said you box was full) thanks again Setch, Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myka Guitars Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Setch this is too cool! That is one sweet LP. Love the extended tutorial as well. It is always good to get another perspective on building guitars. Thanks! ~David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted October 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Thanks David - and everyone else who has taken the time to say nice things about my project. Sorry it's not been updated for a while, hopefully I'll get the last few clearcoats on it today, but I need to do a monster cleanup in the garage first. Having a lathe in the same space you do your finishing in is a PITA - saw dust everywhere, and fine dust just waiting to settle on your finish.

Setch Posted November 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Things are starting to get shiny round here... I shot my final coats of clear, levelled with 1500 then 2000 and buffed out using Rustin@s burnishing paste. I use the paste slightly cut with water on a foam buffing pad from Screwfix Direct. The gloss it leaves is very nice, but it does tend to leave fine scratches (or swirls) which I have to get rid of. The last guitar looked OK with the swirls still there, but the dark finish of this one makes them more obvious, so I'll have to find a good swirl remover and/or glaze to get rid of them. Anywho, the front: and the back: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Just beautiful, especially the burst technique, flawlessly done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKGBass Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 did you write us a note in the reflection of the back...the picture is a little blurry so i can't quite make it out...looks like...? but yeah...the burst is killer! It looks much different than the photos you posted earlier, the black edges look amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted November 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 I wrote a note backwards to illustrate the reflective gloss, but it's totally illegible at this resolution It said something like 'Plenty Shiny, but the swirls are a bitch'.
