Cheers Wez. I've found a 20g bottle online for about £3 delivered - every penny counts in my budget - I'm already pushing the £100 limit ta Tim any suggestions for grades of paper to use to sand it back ?

Are there any guides to the application of the CA ? Do you smear it on then wait for it to go hard then sand it ? And roughly what amount will I need ? ie how many tubes of Wilkinson's own brand superglue do I need ?

Thanks for the info guys

Thanks Is that for durability or for appearance ?

I've entered a just-for-fun "Build or mod a guitar for £100 max" competition with some folks on a UK guitar forum ( http://www.musicradar.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15212 ) and am looking for some pointers re finishing the body. The body in question is mahogany with a spalted maple cap - and it's bare wood currently (see here : http://s122.photobucket.com/albums/o270/t1...PoundChallenge/ ) My opening gambit is that I'd prefer the guitar to be a simple oil finish, but I suspect that the spalted maple would not take this well ? Yay or nay ? In this instance I am not concerned at all with flatness or shininess of finish - simple sealed is absolutely fine (a combination of liking 'organic' feeling guitars and needing to do this in short bouts of spare time ) If anyone has any opinions at all I'd be obliged, thanks, Tim p.s. - I'm blogging my progress here : http://100poundguitar.blogspot.com/

Thanks. The body is actually not so bad weight-wise, and I've yet to do the comfort carves : http://picasaweb.google.com/timodonnell.uk/ProjectGuitar but yeah the Rosewood will add some of that back and more

Hi there Let's assume I'm building a Strat-shaped body from Walnut, and bolting on a rosewood neck and rosewood fingerboard and Wilko trem. If you absolutely had to (and you do ) what would you guess at the tonal response of the finished guitar being ? (it's having body-mounted humbuckers x 2 btw) ta Tim p.s. - wow - what a lot of info on this forum, great place
