    You won't get that black finish with oils, they have an amber tint to them that will give you a brownish color. Your best bet for the finish you posted is to go with satin lacquer or poly over a black dye as you suggested.

    Can't tell you about pine for a neck, never used it before in it, but I'll follow this one. I'd like to see how it ends.

    Way to go.

    You're right memory failed me, he didn't mention ss fretwire, what he mentions is that he buys the hardest fretwire he can get. But, the bullsh*** is there:

    Ever since I heard the man saying he's seen chunks of nickel frets falling to the floor while people were playing just to justify the use of ss frets, I doubt everything he says...
  11. crazygtr
    I think he only has to use the ones that are all over the place........ They don't work on the floor.

    For better results I would advise the jointer, a planer can leave some snipe at the ends of your stock making it difficult to get a nice seamless joint at these points.

    Nice! Would like to see pics of the jigs you used.

    Cool. Looking foward to see it finished.

    I tried to illustrate here what I'm saying:
  17. crazygtr
    You already established your neck line (center line) when you laminated your stock. What I meant was that the center line in that neck ( along the entire body ) doesn't look parallel with where the center line in that body should be. Like I said before, maybe it is an illusion caused by the spalt.

    I'm with you Wes, don't lower your standards just for the sake of saving some wood. I'm against waste, but not for the price of quality. I think your idea of a set neck and wings for another build is the way to go.
  19. crazygtr
    On that last picture it looks like the neck line is not running parallel with the body, or is it the spalt that's throwing me off?

    I think the trans red will look incredible on that top.
  21. crazygtr
    I wish all hijacks were as detailed and informative as this one.

    Look at the bright side, you won't have grounding issues in your basement.
  23. crazygtr
    That is one of the best bookmatch I've seen in a while.
  24. crazygtr
    I believe the plan is called fretboard.........
  25. crazygtr
    You just destroyed a good towel..........Nice build! The way that wenge flows with the contours is awesome.
