  1. I bought an all gold 3-way selector switch off e-bay for around $10 + shipping. I was also wondering, I have an EMG 85 for my bridge & a Sa Singlr Coil for my neck with both coming with battery attachments. Would I need battery terminals for both pickups once I install them or can they be installed with just one battery.
  2. Thanx for the epoxy trick, I may try it. And Thanx 2 All who responded your input is greatly appreciated believe me!
  3. I'm sorry, the problem is mainly where I drilled the holes for the tuninig pegs. Their a little nicked up & just don't have that professional look although u can't see it when tuners are installed. This is still in the beginning stages as sander sealer hasn't been applied or pickup cavities haven't been routed.
  4. No pics as of right now their in my disposable camera right now as we spaek & at least 28 shots left. I want to use wood putty but I hear it doesn't harden that well over time.
  5. I was wondering when venturing into building guitars, i'm sure mistakes are made at times even if your well experienced in the luthier trade. After a mistake is made like gouging to much wood or a carving mistake, would you use Minwax Wood Filler & High Performance Wood Hardener together to try to replace wood? I made have made a mistake & may need some tips on how to repair it. Thanx 2 All In Advance.
  6. I am building a Prince Cloud Guitar right now as we speak & although I have a lot of sanding & routing still to do I am stuck on finish options. I have a few qustions i need answering: 1.I would like the guitar to be like a powder or baby blue, what would be the best paint type & brand to use & where can I purchase from? 2.I wanted to use Polyurethane but it does not seem to come in colors, am I wrong? PLEASE HELP & THANK U IN ADVANCE 2 ALL!
  7. I was wondering if I would be able to use a Electric Airless Paint Sprayer when spraying my finish on my guitar? What would be the dis-advantages of using this option. Thank U In Advance
  8. I'm going to finishing my "Prince Cloud Guitar" shortly & really need some finishing help! Does hard maple need to be sealed before painting starts & if so, what kind do u recommend?(BRAND NAME & TYPE) Thank U Carlos
  9. I bought the templates off of e-bay cause I did want 2 mess with that process on my own & thank god I did.
  10. No, I don't think so. I have a Schecter Cloud Guitar the guitar Prince plays & my girlfriend got mad & broke it in Feb. 07'. The neck just completely snapped, a $2300 loss. But wait a minute, at work I figured get some Gorrila Glue & use the strings that were already on there 2 hold the tension some what. I glued it & clamped the neck back in postion as if good as new. The next problem was the glue had kinda oozed out the sides of the fracture so I began sanding the excess glue back 2 an even texture. So once that process started I figured 2 just re-paint the whole axe all over again. So I ordered inlays that were exact replicas of the symbol Prince once called his name. The guiat was then taken 2 a auto body shop that had just did awesome body work on my car. They used BMW black auto paint & coated it with around 22 coats. It dried 4 a day b4 I went back & put the custom inlays on it & then it was lacquerd. It came out very nice & I also installed a brass nut 2 add more sustain. Although it's not my favorite axe as far as tone goes I still love it 2 death. I am also building my own Cloud Guitar right now as we speak.
