    my les paul appears to be a 3 piece neck... its a 1977 left handed tobacco sunburst and i have to admit its fallen on the head stock and not break...i was stupid and just left it leaning on my bed and it slid to the side

    heres a trick a buddy of mine who works in an auto paint place told me long ago first mask off the area with tape where you want the stripe to be...the exact width and length....then put masking tape to the right and the left of that....then peal off the center tape piece....and you get a perfectly straight stripe...the 2 side pieces of tape form your borders...prepare your surface...then paint away

    actually i dont know what model strat i got but its was bought in 1977....a bud of mine also is 1.5 in thick...so we must be measuring it wrong
  13. repoman
    thats very nice.... im also planning one day to build an explorer..but as a bass for my kid...trouble is trying to find an accurate template for it
  14. repoman
    hi, ive noticed many of these after market bodies of the strat are made to be 1 3/4 in thick....ive measured my start and at its thickest point its approximately 1 1/2 in. ...any reason why they are 1/4 in thicker than a real fender strat body? maybe im not measuring it correctly
  15. repoman
    yes there are water and oil filters

    is this an acceptable gun........DeVILBISS FinishLine II SPRAY PAINT GUN its not the hvlp version yeah the sata are nice but its priced out of my range tx
  17. repoman
    should i stay away from hvlp guns and top gravity feed ones?
  18. repoman
    what is a good spray gun to get? im a bit confused with various types...like gavity fed and lphv....etc.... thanks
  19. repoman
    thanks anyway...im trying to build the explorer bass for my kid and the only available templates are for the guitar....im sure the head shotck on the bass got to be bigger as the neck is bigger... ill keep hunting around...hopefully some of you guys got some info thanks all
  20. repoman
    ah i see....i would have thought the entire body was a bit larger thanks is the headstock the same size for both as well?
  21. repoman
    hi...new here...nice board does anyone know if the explorer bass body is larger than the guitar body and if it is larger is it proportionately larger? also it be nice if someone can give me a heads up to where i can get the bass body template thanks
