  1. I used the testers also and it works very good. The kit with the sealer was $8 but it only comes with Two 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 sheets.
  2. I tried the straight bit in the router table thing. that didn't work right. I pulled out my cabinet making skills and used my style & rail set. Style & Rail bits for thinner stuff like 4 piece bodies it works great. For thicker stuff you could probably use a stackable finger joint bit. Finger joint bit Either way you will get a very tight and strong joint.
  3. OK, That idea sucks. Its hard to peel in one piece. So I decided to go with waterslide decals and it works great. The best thing for headstock logo is to cut to the size & shape of the headstock. This will make hiding the edge much easier.
  4. I have been playing with the same idea, and did some testing on an old computer case. First off you have to cut big because the edge tends to curl up. I used ink jet and lacquer and the color didn't run at all. When I get the prosess down I will write a tutorial.
  5. I already cut a mockup with the side cuts and I love it.
  6. The body looks like red oak. If so it will be a bitch to paint. BONDO TIME.
  7. Thanks guys. I seem to agree about the thin waist the more I look at it. VanKirk: I did start with a LP gist. I have done pointy double cutaway designs in the past and wanted something different. To say it has any resemblance to the Leviathan, all I can say is don't I wish I were in the same groove as LGM. The Leviathan is INCREDIBLE.
  8. just a concept for now but maybe my next build. new concept Any input is welcome.
  9. Thanks Matt. That was the 1st guitar paint job for me. As far as painting and airbrushing, I have done flames & graphics schemes on cars, helmets, computer cases and a couple of Harleys. Plus 15 years as a tattoo artist.
  10. It should be strong enough, if I rought a channel across the grain at hole #4 and glue in a hard piece of oak.
  11. Good point. I will have to use the tree idea, unless I can rework the dimentions without loseing the look I want. Thanks for pointing that out.
  12. Check out my headstock design. Headstock I am going to start a mock-up on some scrap pine to see how it looks in person. Anyway tell me what you think. ..........Thanx............. ......KramerKrazy.......
