Hey all

I stained my guitar the other day but Im not happy with the colour

(yes I did test on scrap beforehand but it seems to have come out slightly different on my guitar)

So does anyone know how to remove the dye completely?

For reference the dye colour is yellow

Hey guys

Ive searched all over for a thread about tiger eye staining that i was sure was here a while back

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Regards

I have never done a tiger eye stain, but I've always thought you first stain the wood dark brown, then sand back the stain so it's only in the deep spots of the figure, then stain over that with whatever shade of amber you want. This could be way off, but that is how I would try it.

Thanks Marcovis

This is not the one I remember, but it is of help

My vote went to oz tradie

Not only a fantastic first build, but also highlights some of our beautiful

native timbers

By the way Ledz, I not only work for but am a big fan of Holdens

(part of the General Motors stable here in Oz)

So for me F.O.R.D. stands for - Found On Rubbish Dump

Apart from some of PG's members expertise you can also have a

look here for more info

Very nice

I found this on another forum

Something a little different

A Strat with a clockwork themed scratchplate

It really sets the guitar off

Not sure if it's the same one, but it's the same fixture nonetheless.

It is by Matt Vinson.

The Rapidshare link dosn't work, try this one

Hey metalwarrior and RGman

Apart from Ottos (where I got all my timber from) there is also this guy up at Hahndorf

Ive been and had a look. He's got a lot of aussie timbers and a lot of unusual stuff from New Guinea

I love the fretboard. Looks like its going to be a great looking guitar overall

Which part of Adelaide do you guys hail from?

A different take on the Les Paul shape

I like it

dayvo

I built one last year and it looks similar to Soapbarstrats

In all it cost me $24AUD to make

I got the parts from a local hardware store, auto parts supplier and the handle (which believe it or not was the hardest part to source) from a caravan spare parts supplier

Oh, and it works a treat

dayvo

Thanks mate

45 this year

I might have this guitar building caper mastered by the time Im ready to retire

dayvo

Sounds great

A while back you mentioned that you had been approached by a larger company to manufacture guitars for them

Are you gearing up to do this or are you staying with your own brand? or both? and are you planning to get your guitars into local (national) retailers?

Looking forward to seeing more of your product put there

Good Luck

dayvo

Very nice

Cant wait to see the end result

dayvo

Thanks again Wes

dayvo

Thanks Wes

Out of curiosity, why shouldn't I solder it?

dayvo

OK, for those of you that have done builds using TOM bridges, where do you normally connect the grounding wire?

At the bottom of the post, or ????.

This is my first wiring job
