i usually just use a $2.50 bottle of lemon oil, it cleans awesomeyl, give the fret board an amazing shine and protects and rejuvenates it as well...

not to be behind or anything, but whats it mean to neck dive...

What did you use to paint the neck? Are you gonna polish it? It looks like its gonna be kinda slow. *** is a woodchuck?!?!

Woodchuck - (Marmota monax)

Also known as groundhog

thanks Wiki :]

I used paint ...and yea im gona sand it a clear it acouple more time and scuffy it and hand polish...i unno about it being slow, possibly....didnt get that last part

all i have to say it wow, thats really good looking so far...cant wait to see it with the pick guard back on

ive been wanting to start a topic talking about using yellow pine and other '' junk '' woods.... when really there not, u just half to have an imagination when using them... With pine, its cant sustain on it own, it needs support, so i was thinking... why not make a hollow-body out of all the yellow pine i have laying around but then use a denser harder wood for the top... Now im just getting started in this, so what do u guys think... Talking with Jack ( A nabor of mine, he ranks one of the top 10 native american flute makers in the US of A, and an expert on wood ), he has said time and time again, all wood can be put to use, you just half to have an imagination...

a month or so went by when i didnt touch it, cuz i seemed not to get anywhere with it

Hey, just wondering where u purchased your bubigna veneer. looks awesome man

ha, thanks

Nice paint job. Did you refinish a guitar or make it from scratch?

look at a b.c. rich bronze series...i just made some minor changes such as adding curves, flatting edges...but for being my first crack at lutherie it was a good time

before

Just wondering if i could hear some pros and cons on painting a maple necks rather than leaving it plain...also the side of the fret board is damaged so as a saw on a SG, wat are the pros and cons of painting the side of the fret board

I'm 16, and at the stage where im planning for my future....I have one passion...repairing my friends guitars and making my own...my dad says its just a hobby but i look at it as my life... i know there's so much more that i have to learn and so many possibilities that im starving... Basically my question is, how profitable selling guitars is because it is MY DREAM to open a fairly large guitar store selling my favorite brands along with my customs, and then eventually turn in into a franchise, sitting with the big guns such as guitar center and musicians friend... So if there's any insite on " if selling guitars is a fairly profitable business " and if i could make a good living doing it...

thank ya guys, this place is awsome....

( sg pics, and finished warlock rebuild pics soon to come, hopefully in a couple days)

any ideas on what to name this guitar....

im going to reuse the b.c. rich guitar neck but change the shape of the head stock, possible paint the neck, and possible play with inlays. lol and it wasnt hard to do this so early cuz i only bought the guitar for 50. I was just wondering tho, i look in other pics and see beautiful curves with no flaws or dips and i came NOWHERE close to being able to achieve that...WHY lol... and if i was to try and sell this, what price do u guys think i should try and put on it.

Hey, like i said before, im 16 and I loved working on this guitar. Its not much different from the BC rich bronze series but i did what i could to make it my own. I was kinda shooting blind with this one so advice would be much appreciated. The head stock pics and pics of the SG im redueing are soon to come. So lemme know what u guys think!
