    Two pack melamine clear is what I use. http://www.shipleypaint.co.uk/applications.php?area=shopFit Of course I don;t know where you are, so I don't know if this info is much use.

    +1 to Goncalo Alves. I have used it for fingerboards, very hard and smooth.

    I like 'em http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX1Kz8p9RQE THis is bridge pickup, full treble cut, by the way.

    I have used the small treble pickup. I haven't taken it to bits or anything, but I fitted it to an EB2. Sounds and works OK, but the disappointing part is that the chrome cover is plastic, and not metal as on the real thing. Unless you can find a used original though, there doesn't seem to be anything else out there. I have no experience of the big humbucker, - the EB2 had one already..

    No problem. Bridges are a bit tricky for these, due to the narrower spacing. The Schaller 3530 works well though. clicky

    Main advantage of a two-piece body is - it will fit through a planer thicknesser that way. At least the type of machine we are likely to own

    Put a piece of paper with the circuit diagram in there.

    This is what I would do. Tell him you will make the guitar, but you will not put in any "features" ((flat board, no rod etc) that you do not agree with. Secondly you will not be held to a delivery date. Thirdly, he is under no obligation to buy the guitar when finished. That way you will have the satisfaction of making a nice guitar, and you won't be stuck with an oddball when he changes his mind. (which he will if you make it to his spec)

    I once finished a Strat in cloth from an old pair of denim jeans. There was a big hole on the edge of the bottom bout, so I put some white cloth in there to look like underwear. Used Evostik. Looked and felt pretty cool, much better than you would think

    Trussrod sounds too tight to me.

    I built a "prototype" bass- new original design, and logged 35 hours work. Being a prototype, the finish is not perfect, but good enough. (I gig it regularly). To do it really well I would reckon about 50 hours. I have access to a fair amount of machinery, i.e. planer/thicknesser, bandsaw, router etc., but many of the procedures were new to me.
