i was just going to use good old nitro lacquer. But my question is if you put as much on the fingerboard as you do on the neck or less.
-
yeah that helped a lot. i have curretnly in my possesion a beautiful piece of birdseye maple i would love to make into a fingerboard and make a neck form another piece. what would i finish it with. the fingerbpard i mean.
-
do you use any type of stain/protectant/clear coat on a fingerborad before fretting/ finishing the fingerboard or is it left bare wood.
-
i got to thinking and i was wondering if i purchase a strat style pickguard and used that as a routing template for the neck pockets relative distance to the bridge would work well.
-
I know you probably think im stupid for asking this but do you have to sand in between coats of nitrocellulose lacquer?
-
with the shim idea, would i need to rout the neck pocket deeper?

i was thinking of making a flying v and i need a couple answers. I heard you need a neck angle and i really dont want to screw around with that because this will be my first build. Also i was thinking that a tunomatic would look that most kick ass so i would like to do that but u have to recess it if you dont want to fart around with the neck angle. Is that hard? And also if i dont use a tunomatic i would use a normal non trem hardtail. I have no idea where im going im just lost!

Im finishing up my first guitar and ive heard a lot about wet sanding and polishing and buffing. My question is how can i acieve a really cool glossy finish without spending much money. Keep in mind tho i cant order anything from the internet. Also what is wet sanding?
-
heres were im at so far... ive already put the colortone lacquer on there and thats just been there for a while. I already have 1 can of colortone clear gloss nitro lacguer and a thing of wipe on poly and im wondering if i will have enough spray clear lacquer to finish a body and neck with one can.
-
I was thinking of doing a minwax wipe on poly urethane finish on my recently built saga guitar kit. It would go over a few coats of stewmac colortone tinted lacquer-red. Is there anything bad with the wipe on or is it a good idea? Im willing to just do a colortone clear gloss spray lacger finish but i already have the wipe on. What are so pros and cons of the wipe on and if anyone has a website with pictures of a guitar that was finished with minwax wipe on poly that would be greaty appreciated.

how would a person go about getting the side countours on a gibson sg?
-
Ok so does the scale length go from the end of the nut? And where on the bridge does it go to?
-
Thanks for the nice welcome. I might have to try and get ahold of that book. The only knowledge i have is derived from the free stuff on the internet and the kit im working on.
-
ok well im a total noob at build and i really want to try making a flying v with a tuneomatic or tremolo i havent decided but im working on a les paul kit right now. Its a sage lc 10 and i really have no idea how to go about making a guitar from scratch (except the neck i would buy that.)
-
ok so where can i find the dimensions and all the technical stuff?
-
Ok my question is about all kinds of electric solid body guitars, tuneomatics, trems, and hardtail etc. Does it matter how far the bridge is away from the neck for proper playability?
-
Ok i went on Warmoth and was looking at the tune o matic bridges and it say you need a 1.5 to 3 degree angle of the neck pocket to use a tune o matic bridge. My question is that are there any tune o matic bridges that you dont have to do that and if not, how would you do that.
Finishing A Maple Fretboard

Ive research a bit and i cant find a definative answer. When finishing a maple neck with a maple fretboard do you apply the same number of coats of lacquer to the neck as to the fretboard.
