so, not to sound like a dick, but what makes you a new guitar company vs a dealer who imports guitars?

←

Well we have our own designs being made by these companies and we are going to open a US custom shop within the year.

The SD230 is $279 for members. And yes, Shine does a lot of work for us, but not all of it.

←

I have played alot of good shines (well one guitar and 2 bass's) and the quality is good, they play very well, so if they make some of your guitars i may very well purchase one. Im in the UK, any idea of how much shipping would be or where i could get a SD230 from, i really want one it looks soooooo nice.

←

I wish I could tell you that there was a dealer in the UK right now but there isnt.

I am getting $44 for shipping to the UK.

What are you using for a web browser? It seems fine in IE 6.0 as for the other pages, we are still getting the guitar, bass and acoustic pages done. But the catalog has everything in it that we have. For prices, we will give great prices to members so just ask about any model you are interested in.

I use IE 6.0 as well, but no I see the page under construction message under "electric". I guess that's how it's supposed to look. Concerning the prices: Will you never ad them to the page? It's great to know that we will get a discount, but a starting price would be nice. Usually the price determines if you are interested in a guitar or not....hehe

Here is a link to a price sheet just for Project Guitar members.

Winter Guitars Price List for PG Memebers

Have fun

Hmm....the homepage is not really wokring. The cataloge is ok, but if you click on electric or acoustic there is just a logo showing up and I cannot find prices anywhere on the site. The guitars look nice though.....

These are imported. But I do have to say that I have played some name brand guitars all my life and after trying some of these I was hooked. These are all I play now and the price is right.

I am looking for someone that know how to and has done Guitars with dimensions in CAD. I would like some guitar designs done.

I am looking for someone that can create the specs/Drawings for a company to make some guitars. Is there someone out there that can help me?

Thanks

Scooby

I am getting rid of a Mint RG550 I have with an ibanez hard case.

If anyone is interested you can reach me at rolandwi@msn.com.

Thanks

Rustoleum was on the thick side and it LOOKED BAD after the guitar was pulled out. DONT USE THICK PAINT. As for the amount.. it wasnt much at all.. just enough to cover the entier top of the water so I knew there was a lot of paint on top.

Does anyone have the link to order one of these?

I also having been thinking about the process. What if I would install small tap/faucet on bottom of holding bucket and instead of pulling guitar out of bucket, just letting water level drop by letting the water out (slowly).

This way I don't have to deal with making open area on top, and if done with proper (slow) speed....the guitar will lack the nasty drip and drop marks other talk about.

I dont think that would solve the problem. As the water goes down.. the paint will be run over the guitar once again. Making the open area on the top of the water with the news paper was actually pretty easy.

I was thinking that a white pearl finish might look cool. Notice I didn't say pearloid...

Clear could be cool, too. Would you have the control cavities and stuff visible?

Do you mean to use the perl pickguard? (I can be blonde sometimes )

And yeah the control Cavities and stuff would be visible.

Hello everyone.

I am going to start to put this guitar together as soon as I get an

RG Neck I purchased off Ebay. But I was wondering what everyong thought I sould use for a pickguard on this guitar? I have the perl white one that came with it(this used to be a RG350DX white guitar) but I was also thinking of using a clear pick guard. didnt know if anyone had any suggestions. Anything will help.

thanks

Scooby

Well what I have seen from doing a swirl is that the layer of paint on the guitar is very thin. Just trying to get rid of some runs I had to be VERY careful because the slightest pressure and the paint would start to come off. So I don’t think that removing the paint will be that hard.

Good Luck

Yeah actually the guy says that it is a RG270 guitar! you can pick one of those up off ebay for about 150 to 200 bucks... so he is making a killing on this guitar..

I saw this guitar for sale on ebay and it is sooooooooo cool! But does anyone know how you could do this type of finish?

I was actually thinking about dish soap as well... not sure I guess you would have to test it. And as for Borax, I just went to my local shopping (food) store and it was in the row with all "All,Tide,Bleach" stuff like that.

Hello everyone

I am not home at the moment so I cant look up the colors. Sorry. But I can explain what I used for dipping and the amount of Borax.

I bought a plastic trash barell at Walmart that was only $3 and some change. It was a 30 gallon trash barell. I filled it up about 3/4 of the way to the top(enough to submerge the whole guitar) with water. The water was about room temp maybe a little cooler. I added 1.5 to 2 cups of Borax and stired it around. I waited about 10 minutes. Then I used 4 different colors, All blue and they were the Tester's Brand Spray can model paint. You can buy this in any model shop or Wal-mart in the model section. I started with the darkest color first then went to the lightest color. as soon as I was done spraying I dipped the guitar slowly into the water. With my other hand I cleared an exit for the guitar with some rolled up newspaper. When It was out, I just twirled it a little and tried to remove as much of the water as I could.

So that is really all I did.

Wow.. thank you guys. I just did a lot of practice runs before doing the guitar. I did by the way sand the runs down as much as I could without taking any of the paint off. It was not an easy thing to do, but I took my time. I have now sprayed the body with Minwax Polycrylic(spelling) and it seems to be good.

Does anyone know a better choice for the finish?

And thank you all for your responces.

This is my first Guitar Swirl. I have been practicing on odds and ends for a week and a half now so I thought tonight would be a great time to take the plunge(so to speek). I found after trying different paints for a while that the Tester Brand paints worked the best. I also used the Spray Can Tester Paints. So here is one of the pics and there is a link to the album below. But I Have some questions I need answered.

Link to Swirl Guitar Album

So my Questions are

1. Can I wet sand this body or do something to it to get rid of the slight dripping and inperfections?

2. What do I use for the final coat? And how can I apply it? The Tester Paints are oil based Enamals just so you know.

So if one of you could give me some pointers I would be greatfull.

Thanks

Scooby
