  9. 1 week away from 36. but not feeling a day over 19
  10. the final product other than needing a new set of strings.
  11. use a hand planner blade at a 45 deree angle and drag it over the body backwards. this will peel the primer right off
  12. here's some progress pics of the second one. i like to call it the 51'er first off i picked up a starcaster neck (i didn't wanna spend a huge amount for a neck on a plywood body)and cleaned leveled the frets. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/mrkil2/IMG_0247.jpg second cutting down the horns and shaping http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/mrkil2/IMG_9539.jpg next was filling the trem pocket and rear cavity. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/mrkil...kinprogress.jpg http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/mrkil...tinprogress.jpg now to hand cutting and beveling the 3 ply pickguard and test painting, to make sure i liked the colour http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/mrkil2/testcoats.jpg (mmmm i like pickles) you can see some of the spot filler showing through around the bridge area, but once painted it's gone completely and this is where i'm at now. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/mrkil...rcoloursand.jpg and this is where i'm at now. not going to clear coat since i'm going for an early type of finish.
  13. well I finally signed up for the forum, since I've been reading it I figured I may aswell. I'm on my second build now ( not really a build more of a rebuild) the first was an ebay plywood hollow body with a set neck I picked up awhile ago. It came with junk pup's, nut, bridge, pots, wiring and badley setup frets. so it went from this http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/mrkil...G_8132small.jpg to this http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/mrkil2/IMG_0246.jpg second was a Strat style sort of jackson style body found in the garbage. it was made for rear access and solid mounted pup's no pickguard. i was looking for something fun to do, so........ this was my design idea http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/mrkil2/Untitled-1.jpg mustang / strat / 51 p bass / swinger in more of a tv yellow than beige
