    Thanks, I was thinking about getting this, with a set of these. What do you think?

    What kind of filters do I need for spraying paint? Particulate Aerosols, or Organic Vapor?

    Try here, I think I will buy a set next time I bind a guitar.

    Depending on what kind of finish the guitar has on it, will determine how much sanding you will have to do. If it is polyester, you have your work cut out for you. I have yet to find a paint remover that can remove that stuff. As for the round-over, I think that would be a pretty large radius, depending on the size of the binding. I would do what Russ said, and tape it off, strip what you can, and sand the rest. Good luck.

    Well I painted the guitar, you have to make sure your gun is set up perfect. The front looks good, but the back has some slight imperfections. The Clear that I use bonded well. I will post pictures when I get it buffed out.

    I just got a 4oz bottle of Gem Chameleon for the Strat type body that I am painting. I have used Createx paints with the Target coatings water based system that I use. I think it should be fine, but wanted to know if anyone else has used it?

    How are you going to build a guitar without a router? My router is one of the most used tools in my shop. You could do it without one, but it would be much more difficult, and easier to screw up. IMHO

    What kind of tape? Is it something you can get @ Home Depot or something? Is residue a problem? I use carpet tape from The Home Depot, works good. It sometimes leaves a little residue, but easy to get off.

    I installed my first Kahler trem today. I will never install another Floyd style trem again. The route was so much easier to do, and adjust ability just can't be beat.

    Well, you do have to ground the battery circuit, otherwise they don't work. I always ground the shielding on the quick connect wires, but I bought an RG760 a while back that came with EMG's pre-installed, and they don't have anything grounded except the battery circuit, and it sounds fine. Needs a new 5-way though. I don't know a lot about wiring at all really. But for the circuit for a Emg to be grounded, doesn't a wire need to be attached to the bridge? Or, is it grounding its circuit within itself?

    What is the circuit board for?

    How punky (soft) is that spalt top?

    That is one ugly headstock. What were they thinking.

    How did the drilling of hole for the wiring of the input jack go? I was just worried about hitting the Floyd route and not the pickup cavity when I did my king v.

    Why would you want to make a one piece guitar? I have heard that asked before, I think the answer was, yes, it can be done, but vary difficult to do. Basswood for a neck, someone will have a better answer for that than me. Good luck with your build.

    Nice job on your first inlay. Could you give us some info on where to get the inlay bits you are talking about. And if anyone else knows where we might get them in th U.S. I know Stewmac is making a killing on those. I have bought 2 from them so far, and I need a cheaper source. Thanks.

    Even the older Charvels had some sort of veneer on the front and back. I think it was for dent resistance. The veneer is a very ugly brown color. I dont know about the old charvels,its possible they used a much harder wood fromt and back for some protection - but that wont have been the case on this guitar!!! It was just for the sake of general knowledge. I knew it wasn't the case for this guitar.

    If you were doing a already refinished guitar, you might know what kind of finish it has on it. What kind of guitar do you have? If you could research, and find out what finish it has on it, it would be a world of help. Even guitars 15-20 years old were finished with polyester. Polyester is a real pain to remove. All the strippers that I tried barely hazed the finish. You can try some over the counter strippers, you will know if it is polyester right away. If it is this type of poly, you would need to sand, or use heat. If you do either do it in a well ventilated area. The gasses off this stuff will kill you. Hope this helps, and if anyone knows a chemical stripper for polyester, please, speak up.
