I was wondering what the best way to repair "dings" on a guitar body is.

I am working re-finishing a friend's PRS body & there are some VERY deep dents in the wood (think in therms of a Phillips head screwdriver being stabbed into the wood).

I was planning on using wood putty to fill it, sand it smooth & paint it since I wll be painting a solid color anyway.

Any other ideas?

This body has definately seen better days!

Thanks in advance for any input

Dave

Anyone interested it a copy of the VERY VERY VERY hard to find video of Eric Johnson performing on Austin City Limits?

Quality is good & his performance is stelar (of course)

Since this is not a retail version (contact me for information). I will send it for the cost of the Tape + shipping packaging & handling (wink-wink..nudge-nudge..)

Let me know if you are interested

Dave

If you want it powdercoated...e-mail me!

TOLS are great!

The best amp I have ever had (for the money) was a Marshal JCM 800 that Bruce did a MEGADRIVE for me on....Like NOTHING you have ever heard!

I hate myself for selling it!!!!

I think he is still doing Amp mods,,,,Great way to geet the Bruce tone at a low cost!

Dave

I have owned several IE4's

Bruce Egnater is a friend of mine...he lives 10 miles away from my house

And yes.....he is the BEST at what he does!!!

WOW!!!

Dude, It almost looks like a "Chrome Swirl"!!!

Nice job

Bad ASS!!!!!!

Where did you get the dye from?

Is the Silver from W.D. Woodlock?

Does this mean that "other projects" are going to be completed soon ???

Seriously, that is an AWESOME finish...keep the updates coming!!!

Dave

That was what he claimed as well, that he did the work himself!

He also offers to do these finishes for others, but I want to try it on my own!!

Dave

I saw this finish on "that other site"

I thought it was cool...anyone ever try this?

Comic book finish

Is it as easy as cutting out comics & doing the "material finish technique"?

Or is there a secret method to this?

Thanks

Dave

Check your e-mail

Thanks

Scott:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

I hope you get your Petrucci Drop-Top as a present!!!

Have a good one!

Dave

If I can't get a Bogner....I vote for a Marshall. But it has to be an old (good) JCM 800!

I am selling a VHS copy of "THE ART OF MARBILIZING". I have viewed only ONCE!

I was going to try this on a guitar, but just don't have the time

This video shows you all of the effects available using the HOK Marblizer Artistic Bases.

Step-by-step video covers: basecoats, two-toned marblizing, Kandy coats, clears, and color sanding & polishing.

Is anyone interested?

It looks like the one you recomend it for a router table (the bearing is on the botom)

I am using a hand-held plunge router

The good news is that it will accept a 1/2 inch bit (as well as 1/4 inch)

With that in mind, what would you recommend?

Thanks

Dave

What type of flush bearing bit should I use?

Is there one with a long enough shaft to trace around the body & still cut into the Plexiglas?

If so, what brand & where would I order one???

Thanks

Dave

I know this subject was raised once before...

I just finished a KILLER guitar body (I will post soon!)

I want to create a routing template on Medium Density Fiberboard (or plexiglass) so I can duplicate it

Is there a way to use a bearing router bit to follow the body shape & route the template out on the Medium Density Fiberboard?

Also, will I be able to use a bearing bit on Plexiglass?

I know there is the risk of scratching the finish on the original, but I think it would be MUCH more accurate that tracing the body on the Fiberboard, Cutting with a jigsaw, sanding and then using that template.

Can anyone help?

This wouldn't happen to be anyone's Anderson that I know would it???????????

G-urr-a:

There is an automotive Paint company called "House of Kolor".

They specialize in unique paint colors & technigues.

The Crimson swirl that you refer to is close to a technique that the House of Kolor has that is called "marbelizing"

The video that I have from them shows the step by step process & materials needed to achieve the finish. Although they show it on a car, It can easily be applied to a guitar body

It involves paint, plastic wrap, and a special solution called MARBELIZER that reacts wih the paint in a way that makes the paint look like marbel

The video tape is always up on e-bay, just look for "house of Kolor"

Or if you want, e-mail me & I can tell you how much my copy is (as I will be selling soon).

Hell, if Jeremy or Brian promise to do a tutorial, I will give them a free copy of the tape as well!!!

Hope this is a little more clear

Thanks

Dave

I even have a video on how to do this!

It's all in the Kolor!!!

If you are interested in Powdercoating, I can help you!
