I am planning on buying some spraying equipment to finish guitars, I would like to spray polyurethane clear coats, I would like to get a compressor in the $400 range, I dont want to spend more than $150 on a spray gun. This equipment will only be used to paint guitars, no cars or anything like that. My ?s are: 1. Are HVLP guns good for laying down poly clear coats, base coats and primers? What type gun(touch up gun?) and size tip do i need? 2. What is a good brand poly to use for guitars to produce a ultra high gloss? House of kolors, kustom shop, PPG, etc.? 3. Can anyone recommend a decent compressor in my price range that would be good for painting guitars, must run on 110 voltage? I have experience airbrushing but none with the big guns.

I was wondering what is the easiest way to thickness a body without a planer? Safety planer for drill press, router, hand planes? I've never used the safety planer before, but it sure does look like a handy device. I definitely plan on buying a planer sometime down the road, my buddy has a planer but we don't have the same days off and work at different times so it could be a pain to get together just to exchange the wood.

The only thing i am hell bent on is building guitars! I was given some power tools to me today, thus freeing up some funds for future tool purchasing! All sears craftsman stuff, new in box, never used! I got a router,sanders,jig saw, drill bit set and a circular saw! So now, i am back on the 14" ultimate grizzly saw. It will be a month anyway til my build gets underway.

Was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a set of plans for a Jackson Dinky style guitar? Something like in the link below? Thx http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product...itar?sku=520323

Thanks for the replys. I already want a bigger one, so I don't have to wait for that to happen, lol, and I would like to resaw as well, just need something to get me going. I have been looking for a used 14" but used 14" bandsaws are a little scarce around here. I really want to get the 14" ultimate from grizzly, but either way If I go pick it up or pay freight I will be out $500 on it and I just can't afford that for one item right now. Does anybody know anything about the 14" harbor freight sales for $339.00?

I was wondering if this bandsaw would do for cutting out guitar bodies? I just don't know if the table/throat area would be large enough? I am not concerned with doing any resawing at the moment, just want something to get me going. Maybe somebody has one or has used on before? Thx http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_0...sName=Band+Saws
