1 Piece Cherry B;ank 14.5x20

Pawn shop & buy the ugliest piece of "stuff" they have & make it playable

Not hardly, been in business for 6 years and have grown every year. Hard to do that if you stiff customers, especially the ones that visit the same boards that I do.

I have 3, 1pc Cherry body blanks with some figuring and mineral makrs, really beautiful color. Special to PG'ers, $69 includes shipping in the continental US. Please email me as I am not on this site as often as I would like

thanks Terry

I have used the tubes for years and have been very happy with the results!

Will it be functional and work? probably, but I think you would loose tone(?) I'm not sure how much, just putting the educated guess thingy on your question.

I'm sure many on here could but it won't be cheap.

Lots of contour, but I agree, looks more like a mod. I've seen many basswood SG bodies on the bay, get one and work it yourself? if it turns out good and you have the skills, then get some good mahogany and do it again.

You are on a Project site, y'know!!! Enjoy

I tend to like earth tones, but a tinted clearcoat shouldn't change the price much if any.

Looks like it is a kit from Senior on ebay. I have spoken with them several times and they seem to be good people. Have you tried sending them a note? They have sold many of these kits and would probably know.

Have you checked the tutorials? I think that should answer most of your questions.

Guys help me out if this is not 100% correct.

The water mixed with the dust creates a slurry that acts like a lubricant that tends to lessen the scratching of the sandpaper making a more even finish.

Once you get down to 600+ paper, any wrinkle in the papaer or spec of grit or dirt that you may pick up can cause a deeper scratch that could stand out against the rest of the (now smooth) surface. Wetsanding will prevent this somewhat.

Just in Case... make sure you choose paper that can be used wet, it will say on the package.

Fair question after your second build but don't worry too much until you've built a couple of dozen.

And yet another option is a set of files to clean the tips of acetylene welding torches. They also come in various sizes that will get you very close to exact... and they are round

Yes it will help but you might want to read through some of the painting 'how to's' on the site before proceeding much further. This will help you understand what processes give what results and will also help you plan out your project too.

Enjoy & Welcome.

Yep, what he said. And I'll stress the gloves part!

My mistakes become inspirational posters, so to speak. But instead of the corporately cheesy sayings like "Goals" or "Perseverance" they say something derogatory & vulgar hoping that will make an impression in us, not to do it again.

BUT, if starting over is not an option and you understand that it may never be perfect, both options may work. Putty may not hold very well and after time the entire Plug may loosen and crack the finish. Can you drill out the gouge and make a solid plug out of the same mahogany trying to match the grain as best as you can?

Going heavy with the semi-transparent may make the mistake even more obvious so try it on a scrap piece first.

Good Luck, I'm sure some of the other mayevenhave better advice.

Thanks for the kind words guys, glad to help out when I can, and glad to clear up some room too! I still have some left but don't order the Mahogany directly from our site unless you just like spending more. My email is on the original post, send me a note and I'll send a paypal invoice. Then I expect to see some of these on GOTM!

Walnut, hard maple with an ebony fingerboard my be a little bright for what you say you want. Mahogany would be good with the maple and ebony and I'll agree with alder too.
