Hi, Just started to strip a JS1000w for a refinish today... but its not going well at all. I got some Nitromorse and followed the instructions but it did absolutely nothing to the paint. I figured this might have just been the lacquer or the top finish so I sanded through that and tried again. Still the finish didnt budge. I guess I used the wrong stripper. What will srtip the finish from a JS1000wh? or will I have to do it by hand with some wet and dry paper. The only other chemical option from my local shop is Strypit from ronseal, is that any better any advice will be much appreciated Thanks Steve

Hi, I have a choice between some copper foil ~0.0007mm (same as aluminium foil but copper I guess) and some thicker sticky-back stuff to shield the the pickup cavities and control cavity area on two of my guitars. Is the foil thick enough to do the job? or do I need something thicker like the sticky-back stuff? What is the physics behind it? Will a thicker copper sheet give me more shielding... my gut feeling tells me the thickness isnt important but I want to make sure. Thanks Steve

Hi, has anyone attempted to use their reflective undercoat under the metalcast coat? Might have a nice anodized body effect? hmmm Im curious now... Steve -
Hi Ive been having this dilema myself. I htink the best way is either the M-audio firewire thing http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FireWire410-main.html or getting cubase system 4 and finally going legal with a legal copy of cubase and a half decent USB interface. http://www.steinberg.net/ProductPage_sb.as...142&Langue_ID=2 they are both about the same price and will icrease the quality and ease of your recording. plus you get a full copy of cubase sx with the steinberg yoke. If they are too expensive tascam, the us122 or somthing like that or any usb or firewire audio interface should do....

Thanks for your advice, Im not sure what the final finish will be, but I know there will be no wood visable. I am bothered about repairing finish cracks dings and chips. when you say a few rounds of priming and sanding... are you sanding the primer off altogether? or at least any primer that hasnt found its way into small pits and cracks? or just sanding smooth? will the primer Im use depend on the finish paint? I.e. some primers wont work with some paints? or can I just use some standard light grey undercoat paint? rebuilding areas where there are large chips is it ok to use polly filla? and sand it smooth? Sorry for the ton of questions. Steve

Good idea! I dont want a wood finish so... as you suggested I think I will just fill the dings sand it down and prime it.. go through a few rounds of priming and sanding. Going to go have a look around this website for a good primer... any suggestions? Thanks for your help Steve

second thoughts im going to pull the whole wiring out... and start from scratch... going to try come up with some plans with two push pulls and a three way.... hmmmm ... I notice stews do some really expensive shielded circuit wire and some 'retro' wire now too. I just want some good quality stuff... And I think that they look a bit over kill. Any opinions? If thats whats best then I dont mind paying for it. seems like its been a while sicen i wired a guitar from scratch been a year or more since i was last on this forum anyway ... im really ssupprised and delighted by how much it has grown!! Steve ps if anyone can point me to novel or interesting wiring options for a two humbucker id be very grateful

Hi, About to strip a js1000wh adn was wondering if I should go sanding route or chemical route. Im tempted to chemical as I dont have access to a power/palm sander. Cheers for any advice Steve

Hi Folks, I need to replace some worn out push pulls on a JS series, and Im thinking of redoing some of the wiring and maybe getting a new switch. I havent been looking at parts and guitar making stuff for quite a while so I was wondering if people could reccomend their favourite pots and switches. Think Ill go have a look in stewmac.. now that I think of it Thanks for any advice! Steve

Hi folks, This is my first time posting here, but used to post on the old universal jems site, and I have a bit of a problem Ive cut out a universe body out of the block of wood before routing cavities... ordinarily i would just dicsard it and do it again having routed first... but this is several layers thick ebony, mahogany, maple etc anyone any experience routing on precut preshaped body? Cheers Steve
