  1. I tried RGGR but had some problems...I'll try harder next time.
  2. Being a Taylor owner 814ce ($3000.00 +) and 410 ($1200.00) I'd tell you to put your money with them. But for what asking for IF Taylor took special orders would cost 20 grand minimum.
  3. hey Scovill, I did these flames in about ten minutes after reading a little how to I found. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Blu...os/DSC00383.jpg do a google search on "how to paint flames", it's at the top of the second page, it's JT:die cast techniques, how to paint flames. Hopes this helps a little
  4. The FX200 is conventional so that's good. Jeremy, you mentioned in a painting tutorial that you prefer a 1.4 tip. Is that a good all around general purpose size.
  5. Does anyone have any experience with Sharpe guns? I am considering getting their Finex FX200. It's non HVLP, is recommended for all automotive paints and finishes. 1.4mm nozzle. If not, recommendations on guns in the $100-$150 range.
  6. here's my first attempt at a veneer stain job http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Blu...os/DSC00384.jpg not too bad...I'll get better
  7. The problem really isn't with the HOK base, if you made a small portable paint booth with ventilation and wear a respirator, the problem is with the clears. What are planning on clearing with? HOK clears need forced air vent and everything else. Does it have to be HOK? Auto Air Colors makes some good quality paint that is water based. All you need there is a particulate mask. But you still need to clear.
  8. That can be filed under bad advice. Ever heard of isocyanates Pluck. In plain english they are nerve toxins. Do a little more research before you start your project Scovill, just to be safe.
  9. 1. B 2. 5, 5, 3, 4 3. B 4. Little 5. A 6. Like: the brand s they carry Dislike: they won't bring in any new brands 7. Knowing more than whatever high school kid they have working there. And not having an area ready to go for testing out guitars. That's like a car dealership not having gas in any of the cars for test drives. 8. I do a little of both.
  10. yeah I guess with the Brian way you don't really have glue joining the two pieces of veneer together. I might have lost a bit in the sanding process. It's very positional though. A move of a couple feet really makes it disappear and come back.
  11. the flame did get lost slightly wear the tone knob will be. The veneer came from Griizzly already bookmatched and glued. Instead of separating them i mounted it that way. That's the glue line you see. I am considering doing a pinstripe there to hide it. Any thoughts on that or how to prevent it next time?
  12. I am going mix up and try to color match paint for the cavities and apply with an airbrush. Thanks for compliments
  13. Decided to try adding a flamed maple veneer to a RG body. Got two pieces of veneer from Grizzly. One for practicing staining and the other for the guitar. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Blu...os/DSC00365.jpg Got this body cheap on auction. It was Sangria red as you can see in the cavities. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Blu...os/DSC00363.jpg Stains are from Stew Mac. I did a double black wash first, sanded it back then went with a pretty strong blue. The faux binding came as an after thought. Sanding and some detail work with Xacto knife on that. Here it is with about 5 coats or so of Stew Mac Nitro. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Blu...os/DSC00384.jpg
