  1. i'v got 6-7 layer tung-oil.. wait until fully dried and finish it with 1layer Glasurit 2k automotive clear topcoat... its not recommended by most luthier out there.. but hey.. it do fine.. with no peel.. cracks.. TUNG-OIL PROCESSES (NO GLOSS-DULL) CLEAR TOPCOAT..(urethane i think..) glossy very glossy... well.. to shiny for me.. i want that 'washed' worn pair of jeans like finish.. so.. light coarse polishing job will do the job (wet sand 400g s/p) plus the buff... end result.. nicely.. not to 'matte' clear finish.. just like the ol' guitar u used to play.. (but with no scratch..)
  2. Yep i agree.. direct mount pickups got nothing to do with tone.. its the player finger itself.. if u play great.. any (well tuned,intonated) guitar will sound great.. i just dont want to drill the 4 holes for the PU ring.. actually i'v got an aluminum plate/bar underneath.. and the pickups were bolted to the aluminum plate... just like this.... and the plate were bolted to the body.. with this setup i CAN easily set my pickup height WITHOUT worrying it will pops out from the wood.. (alot of people having probs like that..) sort of like this.. GOOD SETUP.. shimming the floyd saddles to match the fret radius.. end up with nice string action feel..
  3. the body only got 1 layer of lacquer,NO GLOSS.. (lazy or resonance..?? ) and 7-8 (forgot) layer of tung-oil & beeswax+orange oil for neck & fretboard.. and lacquer again for the headstock.. (like musicman axis..) i only polished the front side... NOTE: the lock nut screw.. you can see a hairline/border between tung-oil & Lacquer.. electronics.. i use DiMarzio DP100 (super Distortion) for the bridge and DiMarzio DP215 (EVO2 bridge) for the neck position with push/pull (series/parallel switch) all wired with DiMarzio 500kpots (vol),500k-p/pull(tone) with.022uf Hovland Musicaps capacitor... blue connector for easy changing.. (wiring junkies.. ) YES the neckplate sez KRAMER C5150 ... or is it..??
  4. Hey guys.. just finished (for now).. i dont think theres more stuff to add.. THE SPECS 2pc light Alder body (strat shape,rear routed) nice birdseye maple neck with stainless steel jumbo frets (i love it),Planetwaves Autotrim tuner (neat..! ) ALL Di Marzio pickups/pots/switches,Musicaps capacitors..and Schaller Floyd Rose with EVH D-Tuna but still... one more project.. about to finish.. an active preamp circuit with gain control.. just simple FET tranny stuff.. adios...
