I just completed a padauk guitar last month, but its the body made of padauk.

Took forever to seal, and forever to clear. I lost count of how many coats..

But she came out nice

Kahler fixed bridge and a JB pup.

Thanks for posting that !

I really like my Carvin for the clean and my Randall for Dist.

Sounds like a solution

"2.I wanted to use Polyurethane but it does not seem to come in colors, am I wrong"

I have seen it come in Black and white at a paint store call Sherwin Williams, but that was at least 6yrs ago. I work out well but was $$$$

for a quart.

I would have to go with a BCR WarlockII
Love mahogany guitars!

Welcome to the club!

Melvin Hiscock's "Make Your Own Electric Guitar" is pretty much the bible around here. It contains all of the information you need to plan and build a guitar using minimal tools, and is geared toward beginners. I made several based only on that book and they all play great. The only real problems with them are cosmetic and are the results of impatience and my lack of woodworking experience. The only thing that I wish had been covered that wasn't is using templates and template following router bits to cut the body outline. There's plenty info on that here, though, along with tons of info on more advanced tooling, jigs, different kinds of wood and finishes, electronics, and great tips to make life easier.

The knowledge from this book covers all the basics of guitar building, and will give you the ability to use proper terms in searching this forum and asking questions. People tend to be quicker to help when you show that you have done a bit of research and have at least a basic grasp of what you're talking about.

Hopefully number seven will be a winner!

yup Melvins book rocks!!
