DUY1337GUITAR

yeah, I found their ebay first, but I bought from their actual website and saved a lot of money.

I bought it from here for $95 plus shipping. They don't always have it to sell though, but you can message them. I was lucky to get mine when they were selling them. This store here sells new replacement jem bodies all the time, but they're nearly $200. I'm almost done with clear coating, I'll post pics later.

whooooooaaa that figured wood looks amazing

I love that headstock!

The bubble really swelled up everytime I wet it with water or stain. It was really obvious. But when it dried, it shrunk flat. I followed the veneering tutorial on projectguitar and tried the ironing method to make the bubble go away. I put on a piece of foil over the area and then I heated it with the iron. I don't know if it worked perfectly, but at least it didn't swell again when I sprayed sanding sealer. The bubble isn't obvious anymore, but if I hold it at the right angle in the light and look very closely, I could see a very very slight hill from the glare. But I don't think it will be a huge cosmetic problem, although it was a large bubble.

yeah, it's a neck from LVguitars. I remember finding info on the neck that it originated from China and sold in bulk to smaller businesses to sell. The inlays are very nice and has depth in it. The neck has the thickness of a jackson guitar neck, not thin like an ibanez. Here's some pics before I did anything to it: Here's a pic of after staining the fretboard darker (kinda hard to tell)

If I could do the staining the process again, I would definitely make the blueburst wider into the green, and maybe even the blackburst.

First can of clear: If you want to see more images, click here to see my videos showing all the work in progress. Or just ask me if you want me to post more pics on here.

Here's some more pics Sanding sealer applied: Blackburst applied:

Here's some images of after I finished dying the veneer with colors: I already sprayed clear on my guitar, I'll get those images up later.

Hi, I decided to build a guitar a few months ago and been buying lots of parts. My guitar body is a CNC-machine-made Honduran mahogany jem. Click here to see what it looks like. I bought flamed maple veneer from universaljems.com cuz I wanted to do a color stained natural wood finish. Applying the veneer to the guitar was a lot of fun. Click here to see the process. Now for the best part: I couldn't choose between transparent blue with a blackburst or a green with a blackburst. So, I decided to do a dragonburst with a strong blue-green for the main tone, and burst of a deeper blue on the edges that blends in towards the middle, and a thin blackburst to transition to the sides. Click here to see how I did it, it looks really cool in the end. I didn't make a video of me applying the blackburst yet. I also already applied sanding sealer and several clearcoats, but I'll get the videos done later to show. I'm really happy about how successful my project is going now. I'm only 16, and not experienced in guitar building (obviously), but I hope it will turn out well in the end I might have questions about a few things and I would want to ask you guys when I need to. So, comments? Feedback? I would like to hear from you!
