k....

Anyone got These?

Please... Need Em' Desperaty

Well, I shouldn't speak too loudly, since i've never done alot of work on a guitar, but here's what i've seen(on projectguitar.com tutorial i think)as far as cover plates.

plastic trash cans cut up to shape. Rout a small ledge(thickness of cover) to put screws into. Usually cans have a shiny sideAND a dull side, and lots of colors to chose. By the way, whatever happened to your destruction pix?

Or Anyone With Jackson Plans

well thanks, I already bought a black matte spray paint, so my question is? should I apply it lie that in th bare body of my guitar or Should I add some paint before, likea white base or something...

←

well i would of thought that You Could Put SOme Primer Down First and then start Your Spraying. But There are loads of people on this website that Could Help You.

What Is the Name/Make of the Matt Finish?

Thanks................Keith

Lessonal Primer Filler

is this a Bunch a Crap or Did i buy the right Stuff?

Thanks alot.... keith

One Question Though..

Are Aerosol cans ok?

Im gonna go to a Car Shop in about 20 mins. What Paints Will i get?

Hello Lads.

Ive searched and looked around the Topics in this forum but I felt i needed to Start My Own Thread. I Bacicly Wanna know What Paints to Use, Primers, Weather Condidtions, etc.. (Bacicly Everything)..

Here's What i have done so far:

1. Ive made a Explorer Style Guitar body from Beach Wood.

2. Sanded the Body With 80 Grit Sandpaper

3. Then Sanded at 180

5. Then 360

6. Then i finally Sanded the Body to 800.

It seems Pretty Smooth To Me But Im Very New To This.

Beach Wood Seems to Dint Quite Easily and there are serverl but not many Dints On the body, also very small dint's, you would not Notice these dints Unless you really Looks Close.

Am i on the Right Steping Stones to Painting the Guitar?

Im only 17years old and Have Very Little Experiance with painting.

Thanks Alot

Hope ye Can Help Me.

go raibh mile maith agut

Hmm, im not sure cutting out the cavities from the back like that was such a good idea, because the pickups arent really "touching the wood" and wouldn't sustain/resonate very well.

I suppose it will have the same sort of thin jangly sort of strat sound... your guitar body is pretty much a front to back strat now that i think about it.

Also are you using a tremolo bridge as a hardtail?!

←

it sounds great becuase its very hollow compared to most guitars, so its very loud sound from it, im using a tremelo bridge on it yeah, im using it as a hartdtail, is that a problum?

Well Im Back Again But Now Im 17 and The Guitar That Broke is Gonna Be Brought Back to Life, Ive Glued it Back Together and Looks Sweet, Ill Show Plenty of Pictures Later as i progress. Bacicly My Dad "Let it Fall" But its ok now ill Continue Working on it at the weekend cause got me Exams to do.

Later Folks

Glad to Be back Guitar Making

SantaClaws o<[];-)

well the bridge will be actually bang on centre, so it actually looks kewl, i will post a picture i did of it, and looks good.

Sorry i dont know really what you mean, could you explain ?

But what i was thinking is:

Just putting Epoxy Glue Mixed in with Iron Filings or Sawdust.

is that a good/Bad idea?

bump!

ok, kewl

Please give your opinions about the desgn i did.

Thanks Keith

thats what i actually did, i made a2nd copy just incase, but go for it anyways

what design are you doing btw?

and what do you think of my design?

i dunno, i done a design on 3dstudio max and printed it on paper and printed 2 copies, so 1 for the routed in the guitar, and one for the wood i was oing to put into it, i cut 3 designs out of the wood and still "hardship". basicly it just wouldnt fit in.

give it ago anyways and see how you go.maybe you have got better skils than me.

but yeah it was hard to do a design that hard.

....keith,

BTW, wat design in the wood where you thinking of doing?

kewl, i have beach wood, its around, 10 X 10 inches

Dedly, is that all i need to do? just mix the stuff into it?

i want sort of a Lighted coloured wood effect, could i mix in some pine sawdust, or what do ye think i should do?

kewl, and where do i get this apoxy? and can you give me a link to a picture to show me what it looks like.

Thanks.. Keith

i tryied to put wood into it before (that was the origanal plan), but it was a pain in the "bum"(no swearing Remember)

but what else could it put in it?

i dunno why, it goes back to guitarproject when u click a link???

but copy them and paste em

well any idea's towards the guitar?

i was thinking along the lines of puting some sort of filller in it, or put acrilic in it?

...Keith

What do ye think of the idea anyways?

hello all

Im making an Ibanez RG, so i need to ask ye guitar builders a few questions.

My first Question is:

If you you look in the pictures you'll see that i have routed a design in the guitar body, roughly 5mm Deep, what i wanna know is, What will i fill the routed design with?

Ok onto My 2nd Question:

Im doing a Sunburst effect on my guitar, so what things do i need to keep in mind, or what sprays,Paints,etc.. do i use?

3rd One:

Im gonna laquer the body when im done, so what preparation do i need to do, before applying the laquer, and how do i apply it, and do i buy it in Sprays or Paints?

And where is a good website for Buying these resources?

If anyone has any idea's towards making the guitar, i would be very gratefull.

Here is how much wood i have:

1.5 Ft X 10Ft. x 2Inches of Teak

1/2Ft X 4Meters x 1/4inch Thick of Brazilian Walnut, (known as IPE)

Loads of Pine!

oh and heres the pics, you'll have to copy and paste em' into you're browser.
