well I would do the transparent finish thing, but I didnt have a plainer and you can see the joint if you look close

well Im not building 2. well not at the moment anywase. Im only 16 and I barely got enough cash to finish 1. The body is Ash, and I would put a maple veneer top on if I was gonna do the 3rd one. Its basically a decision weather I want to go with a modern start with Fender Vintage Noisless pickups and new style hardware. Or if I go with the white or the black I would put in the Fender CS 69's and have vintage hardware. I know black is overdone but it would look so nice with the vintage tinted neck. Im a sucker for a black guitar

anyone else.....

I cant decide on which color scheme to go with. If I go with the white or black it will get vintage hardware and look something like a Hendrix guitar. If I go with the quilted burst it will get modern hardware and prolly a SD Cool Rails in the bridge. I have to say I just re-watched my Hendrix DVD and Im craving the vintage look, but Im also into the crazy looking quilted thing. HELP!!!

Im looking to buy a maple strat neck for my project strat. I want it to be 22 fret and have a vintage colored tint on it. I live in Canada, and I dont know where to buy one from. Anyone know any good online dealers that would have something like this?? or would Long n Mqaude be able to order me something, and not pay a **** load?? btw, perferably not the Genuine Fender Replacement neck because that is quite expensive.

Im looking to paint my strat body a transparent blue-green color like the one in the picture. could someone direct me to a tutorial. i couldnt find one on the main sight, but maybe im just blind.

Trans Blue Strat

I couldnt find what I wanted in there. Im talking about the router bit to go around the edges of the whole guitar. I think it was 1/4 inch but Im not sure. anyone kno??

I forgot what routering bit to use for the edges of a strat body. i kno its a chamfer bit, but what size??? whats the standard fender strat size??

around how much would u want??

I'll PM u

Your pics aren't showing up... change your "images\imagename.jpg" links to have forward slashes instead of back slashes: "images/imagename.jpg"

What city are you in?

im in Winnipeg,Manitoba,Canada

Well you're prices seem very cheap  but I'm not sure about buying from overseas as I've heard that you have to pay import duties.

Duties wouldnt be much because it is a low cost item. All items under $1500 or something have a really low duty cost, or no cost at all.

You might wanna check me out. Cheapest prices and shipping to the UK is only 18 GBP. www.henryhomestead.ca/Guitar.html

A spokeshave is an old tool used to carve angles. Look in this tutorial for a picture of one and to see what it does.

I have a question about those chamfer bits. Are you just supposed to route it free-hand or is their some way to get it even all the way around??

How much would enough paint to do a solid colored body cost?? Paint for a spray gun that is.

is their any way to save the guitar that you make??

How many pieces are they? Are they finish sanded? You're in too!

Hey, for future reference, how much would shipping be to Vancouver BC?

They are all 2 peice bodies, as stated on the website. They are sanded smooth but you would have to do some very fine sanding before painting. Send me a PM with your postal code and I can calculate how much shipping would be on the ups website. And by the way, all bodies are built by hand. I know its cheap but Im just starting to sell them and I wouldnt expect people to pay more for bodies from me (an unknown builder) then they would for bodies from warmoth or something. I might have to raise the prices a bit if I become really popular.

And about doing tele's. I will do them if you ask me to, I just dont have the prices on the list. I will build pretty much any shape if u email me and tell me what you want.

hey

I have been building guitars and wood working for a few years but I have just decided to start trying sell them. I make body blanks (mostly alder and ash) and strat bodies (alder and ash) that are built to the fender meausurements. If you want a different body shape, I can make it. Your not going to find anything cheaper than this besides the 5 peice asian crap on ebay. check out the website and email me if you have any questions. other woods are available on request.

the website is www.henryhomestead.ca/Guitar.html

if you check out kirk hammets mummy guitar he has them painted on that particular guitar

Good point

Im pretty sure that you could paint them, Im not sure with what though. It would have to be a durable paint so it wouldnt scratch off and it would have to be a type of paint that would change the sound quality. What type of project are you doing that would have you painting your EMG's white??

You read my mind. I've been doing the same thing.

Do you mean sending me a pm?? cause I havent got one from you.

I got some. And Im pretty sure you wouldnt find anywhere else cheaper then me. Where do you live??

Look, they got swamp ash and Northern ash. By looking at the prices, Im guessing that northern ash is just as good as swamp ash except it weighs more. Scroll to the price list at the bottom.
