Thanks Scott. It hangs comfortably.The headstock,or lack there of,is brass so it`s got weight,and the smallness of the body does not cause any counterweight. The bottom curve allows you to play it sitting down nicely also.

Sorry about that.I didn`t have it on public sharing. The SLINGER THE SLINGER: SOLID HONDURAN MAHOGANY NECK-THRU BODY-24 JUMBO FRETS EBONY FINGER BOARD with M.O.P.

Well,I started in August and completed my guitar last night. I just wanted to thank everybody at the forum for the great help,and especially Brian for putting this thing together.It is the most valuable source for a builder who has never built a guitar.(No Snobs like at...... ) Anyway,I can`t believe the range of sounds and tone this full scale "not a travel guitar" gets.

Great.I have a bottle of that stuff

After painting there is glue residue on my ebony fretboard from finishing tape. What is best way/item to remove the glue?

It must be Sweden.Look at that snow!

Renablistic says he must destroy the ring!

WOW! Looks great Wes.

This book looked interesting. tube amp book

Make one and give me the rest!

Yeah,thats what my first post says.

Thats what I`m looking for.Do you use that in a twin config? I`m looking for that old tube tone I can overdrive a little.

I`ve been looking into building my own amp.I was wondering if anyone here has done so and some of their resources. I`ve been lurking the AX84 and 18 watt.com sites but wondered if any of the builders here have any other info.

Is there going to be a help section?

Thanks I started painting last September.I enjoy it. mmmmmm????? airbrush? I`ll look into that.I don`t have one and I heard it takes some practice. Can I fine line over clearcoat???

I have a DiMarzio Virtual Vintage Blues in the neck position.Sounds awesome!

I thought of the pens but not sure either. I paint oils with brushes and feel I have the hand for it.Paintings What about that automotve pinstriping that you can curve while you lay it out? Do you think that could work?

besides,you`ll want to see the whole thing before you fork over $500.

Scratch,Ready for my second.

Is there a paint you could brush on a lacquer and then clear over? I`m contemplating doing this around my abalone logo before I put more clearcoats on.The edges are kind of lost in the blue.logo

This is a good idea.I know it would help me.

It is the ABM. You do not need double ball end strings,there are allen heads to lock the string up top.It`s $180 but I put a Schaller roller bridge. http://www.dguitarparts.com/ dguitar parts

Yes,it`s lacquer. The can does not say anything about between coat times .Thanks for the info.I`m right on it.

Yeah,I`m done now with the color coats,but on the re-reanch site they talk about four coats of clear before laying on many coats just to protect the flake,but they don`t say if you should do those coats right away or if you should wait. ?????????
