    Not sure how to fix this, but you can use mineral spirits in the future, and you will not have to worry about finish cracking. You do have to do it in a well ventilated area.

    Did you do a bridge replacement? If you did make sure the tension springs are not touching the body of the guitar in the trem rout. If the springs are dragging on the wood, it can cause that problem.

    I am a figment of your imagination.

    The stewmac stuff stays soft for a long time. Give it a couple of weeks, or you will have to buff it again.

    1.) Do you really think you need 27 frets, and the scale depends on what scale you want the guitar to be. 2.) You already answered your own question 3.) Yes, but you will have to put a finish on it to seal it.

    36th fret

    My personnel opinion (please read that again) is of you want a cheap wood to use on a guitar (I can see no other reason for using pine), buy Poplar instead, Its almost the same price and as a guitar wood will provide a predictable outcome. +1 use poplar

    If you want a quality job, you have to take quality steps to make it look good, anything else will look bad.

    +1 to this, worked really well for me. use a new piece of mdf for the edge.

    What are you talking about?
  12. brewu22
    Sorry, but not even close.

    Depends on what you mean by flat. Are you talking about flat, meaning no gloss? Or are you talking about no orange peel in the finish?

    I have used poplar on several guitars, the sound is good. Poplar is a little soft, so you need a tough finish. just my 2 cents

    Target Coatings I tried the ultima spray lacquer. Sprays real nice, you have to pay attention to how you set up your gun. Not real sure about the durability yet, I only have one guitar that I sprayed in action right now. You can mix the cheap water based acrylic paint from the craft store with it to make solid colors. So far no troubles. It costs less than the Stew Mac stuff.

    Yes, yes you have

    I used to tell the people I was training the same thing Or the worst question, is the one that is never asked..

    Not sure where you are getting your pricing from, can you give us some links to what you are talking about.

    hehe I can TIG, MIG, and stick, but now have no access to those tools. +1 to engineers, gotta watch em. Screw up a one cow cattle drive.

    Looks like a very poorly routed recessed floyd rose. but I am just guessing. Hard to tell from the close up picture.

    +1 it will save a lot of time and work.

    See again you must not read before posting cause I am pushing for pickup builder to move on & try some new things , in fact a flickoflash model pickup may soon be available from a reputable builder which touches again on non same old same old line of thinking. Does wood of the same species sound different from guitar to guitar ... is it maybe something to do with it cells formations & alignments ? http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/ Finally, the freakin sales pitch

    You'd find a grand new way of wasting money on improvements you'll never need or hear. Of course, some joe is going to say he hears a difference, and then he's going to convince everyone else of it, and charge them tons of money to have it done to their guitars. http://www.nwcryo.com/pricelist_master.html looks rather cheap to me Than by all means, go for it. Tell use the wonders you discover. Keep in mind you're talking to a mechanical engineering student who studies this stuff on a daily basis and understands the applications. You're wasting your time here; I'm not saying that to burst your bubble. I'm just trying to save you time and money. peace, russ +1

    Very cool indeed.
