It's just, well, so 15 years ago for me (Man! I'm old... good thing I'm gonna die soon )

You ain`t old.If we`re talkin` the Robert Johnson or Eric Clapton version,then we`re talkin` old.

I remember dudes figuring out those!

I have shot the front and the back once with several coats.They do not recommend sanding metallic paint.

Can I flip the guitar back over after three hours for another coat on the front?

just make a dummy neck from a piece of 2" x 1/2" , screw it into the neck pocket, and clamp the neck to a bench or something. Then you can pain the top and sides(without getting paint on your table), the undo the clamp and flip it over...... easy!

Easy???

It`s not easy if it`s a neck thru body(which it is)

Yeah butnut,I hope mine come out half as nice as those.

where'd ya get it? Who made it..you? $3000 board?!

Korina It comes in black and white. Yours looked like white to me

Litch,I was only kidding.

I guess I won`t joke around anymore

I paid 40$ for my mahogany.about 8 feet long,10" wide,1"high.

test, schmest

It depends on how high your fretboard is in relation to the top of the body,and the height of your bridge.Otherwise your action will be unobtainable(too high or too low to get it playable).

I`m sure you would want it to be able to be adjusted right where you want it.

hi..

i'm korean..

i think. if korea not made cheap guitar. many people buy expensive guitar. ^^

korea Guitar campany make many OEM Guitar.

one time korea guitar campany make many guitar(75% in world gutiar making)

in fact, korea guitar is cheap. but if you hard up for money.. you dont buy guitar.

i think korea guitar company enable quality Guitar,

but korea guitar company is failed in marketting. and have no super guitarlist.

so korean guitar is cheap T_T

i think korean is hard worker. and have a good hand skill.

thank you for read message.. ^^

Thanks hyunsu,

I`m not from Korea,but that`s a great post.

I believe half of us could not pump out the amount of product for time vs. dollar and come close to the quality in volume.

no you have mahogany...you woulod have known if it was korina because it would have been more expensive

But I paid $3,000.00 for that piece.

Does it have to have a headstock?

korina is a type of mahogany which is very recognizable as opposed to other mahoganies because of the lighter color,different texture,and porousness.it is supposed to be a great tonewood

It seemed lighter than I thought,but I wouldn`t know.

Can you tell from the earlier pictures in my other photo albums?

is that Art Garfunkel in the avatar? 

Isn`t it the greatest cowbell player of all time on "Don`t fear the Reaper"/B.O.C.?

Just one question. Are you painting over korina?

What`s korina?

i think he wanted to know whether the wood was korina...

It`s all mahogany

I have some wood that I don`t remember what I paid.

Is there a definite body shape?

Just one question. Are you painting over korina?

What`s korina?

....and I forgot,

WELCOME to the forum Helliumbrz

Yeah,Draw a line representing sideview of your guitar.Scale out where the end of the fingerboard comes and where your bridge goes.Measure the height of the bridge and mark it above the surface line.Then,deduct the height of your fingerboard.From the end of the fingerboard to the mark scribe your line.

That is your neck angle.

It's all left brain man, no right brain!

Repeat the mantra: NO RIGHT BRAIN! NO RIGHT BRAIN! NO RIGHT BRAIN!

My mantra: NO BRAIN LEFT! NO BRAIN LEFT! NO BRAIN LEFT!

Thanks!

that thing's awsome, the more i see it the more i ponder making one for a good " in my lap, late at night, computer chair" guitar....

...with no headstock, a bolt neck and threaded brass inserts for the neck bolts so you could take it apart and pack it when you travel. I need one!

-Sven

It`s only 31" long and fits in the Fernandez Gig bag by Coffin.The Bag has shoulder straps and a waist belt like a backpack.I took it on my motorcycle to work.

What is the best way to paint a guitar in the flat position for metallic colors?

Should I lay it flat on cardboard or a little in the air on top of something or should I try to hang it horizontal?

Any recommendations?

... on technique?

... for the sides?

I`m in!

that thing's awsome, the more i see it the more i ponder making one for a good " in my lap, late at night, computer chair" guitar.... taping off the abalone must have been fun?

Thanks Derek,

Yeah,it took me about three hours to tape off.It`s going to be hit or miss.

I don`t know how it`s going to come out.

I don`t even know if it was wise to do.I havn`t seen inlays in a painted surface yet.

This is not a travel guitar.It will be my main axe.25 1/2" scale.

It just looks small with no headstock and small body.

I have two coats of grain filler

1 can of sand and sealer,sanding between coats

2 coats of B.I.N.S. primer.

I taped over the abalone logo before spraying.

guitar progress

I`m sorry .

I did get a Fernandez gig bag for $14.99 at Musicians Friend.It fits my headless guitar project perfectly.It is a Coffin gig bag with the coffin liner interior.
