ok well, basically from my limited understanding

you'll need sanding sealer first to seal the body, then a primer coat (usually white), then your actual colour, then the clear afterwards

and after a coat of anything you want to do a little sanding with very fine wetsanding paper to get it flat again, and then you may want to put on more coats

i believe the clear usually has between 3 and 10ish coats sometimes plenty more

and the colour paint you just need a few coats until you get a solid enough colour out of it, oh and the sanding sealer, maybe 2 or so? just til you know it's thoroughly sealed

i'm probably wrong, someone correct me

oh, and just let me know any words you didn't understand, i'll try and explain them

thanks, ya i'll be able to figure it out when i get around to doing some

i have no idea what you just said lol

i'm gonna attempt the truebypass one first at some stage

then i might try some more out

wow thankyou man!

this gives an idea of it's placement and the depth of the rear cut

wow thanks, i'm stoked to have such great builders saying it's good!

wow that looks great man!!

really pro job!

true

in a way the two are quite alike though......we are drawn in by a guitars looks, then we find out about it's playability right?

thx just checking it now

just thought people could share any really good tuts they know about

don't worry bout it

ya obviously..thx

soz, i thought it would be cool to have a reference thread around

(i trust PGers advice more you know)

so ..ya guess i'll look elsewhere then

lock er up mods

it's a thread about making a crybaby not modding one

i don't like hijacking threads

i'm interested in making my crybaby true bypass and maybe messing with the sweep range or anything to make it sound better

hopefully someone else might find this useful too

so ya, would be great if you could post some links, tuts or ideas or whatever

thx

there has been a topic on it somewhere...

ya i'm very interested in this also

if you come across a place to buy it in Aus let me know,

don't let it get ya down,

i'm sure many people on here have had failed guitars

it's all about learning

edit: didn't know it was still the same day for the americans

thanks man, yeah i'm gonna try to turn it into a qualityish instrument

gonna give it a good setup, clean/sand down the neck ...etc

lol that's always the way it goes

but never fear, once you get that hardware the world will be at peace

do you know of any? types of paint i mean

(so i can avoid them for this and future projects)

thx folks

ya it's good to think of the backing defining the mode not you

like if you play Eminor over a Gmajor backing your not playing Eminor anymore

if the backing changes you change even if you don't literally change shapes

and remember modal tonality, there's certain notes in each mode which make the mode, the characteristic notes that sound distinctly ..lydian together or whatever mode your using

they're the other defining force in mode choice

i think wylde sounds far more knowledgable on this than me though

hey i see it now! very nice man, did you use the borax swirl tut?

i 'll be swirling soon too so thx for the inspiration

les claypool just rocks out sooo well

i still can't see it

Fantastic were instant einstiens! haahaha

w000t

lol

i had to edit my post before cos of little forum grammatical ideas, does that reduce instantaneouseinsteinability?

Actually that a really good point KI. Im thinking from the in progress side, but still I have to say your right! 

yeah your right about the in progress stuff, but they don't really need to be pinned, so it wouldn't matter too much.

if an in progress thing finishes up and is kinda tutorial like, a tut version that's cleaned up could be put on the main site, and the forum would still be free of overpinning

Why not just extract the pertinent content and/or link to Frenzy's cleaned-up tutorial on his own site? I would say leave the thread how it is, but put cleaned-up tutorials in the tutorials section of the ProjectGuitar main site. Maybe set up sub-sections there for solidbodies, hollowbodies, electronics, finishing, etc. that reflect the structure of the forum. Then pin a link to the archives in the forum sections.

The main site should be for static and archived information, and the forum the place for discussion. Using the forum for archiving useful content will result in pages of pinned threads at the top of every section.

this is one of the best and least conflicting posts i've read yet

don't know about you guys but when i want a tut i always go to the main site first

thats what the tut section's for

on other forums it's annoying in the same way as people hate sigs when you open a forum section to see 9 or 10 pinned tutorials at the top. it seems cluttered and your not always sure where to go to get the info your after, it'd suck to see PG forum like that
