  1. Hello All, Just a quick question... I have stripped back the guitar I am working on to the wood via a combination of paint stripper and sanding. Having cleaned the wood up, I now want to seal it in order to remove the grain and provide a good surface to start spraying on. Has anyone used PVA to do this? I heard it can be used and then sanded so smooth out. I am wondering whether it requires diluting at all?? Any help gratefully received as always Cheers Tom
  2. Hello all... So, as previously mentioned on this forum, I am building my first project guitar. As its my first attempt I am building a cheap stratocaster, there is bound to be a bit of learning as I go along. I have a 90's squire strat body that I am stripping and respraying. I brought a squire neck from ebay also. Whilst the screw holes for bolting the neck to the body marry up perfectly, the neck is not a tight fit into the body, there is a small game (1mm) on either side of the neck. Does this need to be a tight fit? If so, is there a way of packing the space? All help greatly appreciated! Cheers!
  3. Thanks all for your advice! As I said this is my first attempt at anything like this so I am sure I will be back with more stupid questions! I guarantee that the next one will be... what kind of paint should I use!! Cheers
  4. Hi All, I am just about to embark on my first guitar project! As it is my first attempt I am not spending too much cash (due to the high probability of disaster!). So I brought an old Squire Strat body from Ebay, it is a ply body (very cheap!!). The previous owner has sanded the old finish (not completely, just to roughen) and then sprayed it grey (it looks bad!). There is no clear coat on the guitar. I can't figure out the best method of taking the body back to the wood, I have read the tutorials on sanding, stripping and heat removal, but cant figure out which to attempt! Does any one have any advice? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
