  1. how can i fix it? its almost all the way gone now. ive got two coats of clear on... im gonna sand it back tommorow and try to cut that back and a run that ive got... other than that its looking like it may be alright;
  2. I sprayed a can of black nitro over my alder strat, after i sprayed sand and sealer, and sanded to 320...When i sprayed my first clear coat Some spots turned greyish... is this normal? What did I do wrong? please help
  3. its there... its tiny, its the MINI silver thing right next to volume knob... Its on my pickguard as well. It turns the neck pickup on in the first 3 positions... so if you put the 5 way in the middle with the mini toggle on u have all pickups working at once.. it sounds amazingly warm and HOT HOT HOT in the bridge position, with the toggle on... Its circled
  4. Started Relicing the fingerboard... And heres david gilmours What you think? -Steve Painting the body as i type this!
  5. I checked at the local harbor freight, and they have .5 ton, and a 1 ton arbor press in stock. Which would be the best option for fret pressing? The .5 ton is 29.99, and I will order the cauls/radius bars from stewmac, and have them drilled and setup just like stewmacs.
  6. Stewmac discontinued them... thanks for your two cents though.
  7. Don't buy the arbor press from Stewmac. You can get virtually the same press from Harbor Freight for less than half the money. All you have to do is bore out the ram to accept the caul, and drill and tap a hole for a set screw to hold the caul in. What do you do about the self leveling caul thing, is that something you could purchase? Or is it not really all that important. I borrowedf a buddies arbor from stewmac, and i really didnt like how the self leveling thing was all over the place, and had to line up perfectly... I just figured that it was necessary.
  8. Well like the title says I need a fret press, with cauls.
  9. Ill check into them. He changed his mind on design should know in a day or two for sure. I will be in touch. -steve
  10. I need a custom inlay made for a friend. Ccan any one here make this inlay out of paua for me?
  11. LOL well that was accidental!!! I used the wrong template face!!!! Im pissed at myself for it I believe that even the hero himself, Melvyn, did the exact same thing during the first edition of his book. Steve - Making mistakes is awesome! There is no better teacher around. Just try not to make the same mistake twice - go and look for new mistakes to make. And remember 'mistake' is a latin word meaning 'custom'; all of my guitars are seriously customized! Cheers Buter Lol thats why my other build is on hold. Its basically ready to be finished, so I want to get them all ready to be finished at the same time, cxause i hqve to pay to use the paint booth and sprayers and such.
  12. He specifiically requested a indian rosewood neck, but left the fingerboard choice up to me. I was thinking either ebony, or ziricote, but i could handle a rosewood fingerboard.
