Hi guys,

I am uncertain on how to use an effects loop on my AT-100 B-52 Head. It has a send and receive and I have a boss Ge-7 EQ that I want to use but I don't know how to go abouts hooking it up.. Can someone help me with this or provide a diagram?? Many thanks, Joe M

Use the sanding sealer to do the first build over the fabric and light coats over the rest of the guitar. Than use the clear coat on the rest of the guitar and follow normal finish procedure.

Oh great!! Thanks so much..That clears everything up.. I will be going to Lowes to buy DEFT sanding sealer.

In the picuture on the main site it looks like Brain is using DEFT nitro. Just make sure to test your sealer on a scrap peice of fabric to make sure it doesn't react with it.

Will this be the final clear/sealer to the finsh or do you ned to buy and apply clear coat as well? and can this be used on rest of the guitar that I have painted?

Thank!! Joe

Good morning,

I have successfully laid the cotton textured material on top of the guitar. I used titebond glue and I spread very evenly and luckly there were no bleed throughs or wrinkles. So now I am at the stage were I need to buy sanding sealer??? Now I am getting very confused about what to purchase because I want to mak sure the sealer does not adversly affect the material that is glued down...What should I buy? Thanks for any help!! Joe M

I used titebond II to glue the fabric down, and then the sealer, top and bottom. I wouldn't use a bristle brush again as the lines left by the brush were a bit extreme and took a bit more sanding to get it nice and flat. Also, after I trimmed the edges, I recoat the body again with the sealer and feathered the sides too. Cant help you with the neck question.

Thanks for answering, I was wondering though...Can I use a spray clear and which can I use, also what sealer did you use when you brushed? Thanks! Joe

Hi everyone,

I read Brians awsome tutorial on how to use material tops, now I am very confident in doing this because I worked in automotive custom interiors in which we wrapped everything in leather. The question I have is, do you brush the sandable clear right over the fabric and underneath the edges? Also is there clear suitable for the neck itself? I have painted the neck (it's neck through body and makes it tough) and has no clear on it yet. Thanks for all your help!! Joe M

Try thermoformable films.

a lot of special effect films.... take a look

Hey,

I know for a fact the material used was 100% cotton because I went to my local Jo-Anns fabric store and that had in the animal section of fabrics. I am currently working on a custom ESP I had buit for me that has a scalloped neck.. I will post pics once it's compleated.
