You're very welcome DC, and thank you.

Sold & Shipped!

Thanks guys!

Maybe it seems to be a dumb to most of y'all BUT I've looked a little and did not see this addressed.............. I have a Strat hardtail body that someone had stripped (almost) I have to finish the job,,,, then I wanted originally to stain it and do a clear on top BUT after sanding a fair amount by hand I think it's going to take a longgggg time to finish the prepping for that and figured I may be better off doing a regular solid color paint job, like something somewhat close to Fender's Daphne Blue. IF I do this sort of finish do I need to do a clear clot on top OR will just the color coat be suffice?

Sold pending payment , thank you DC Ross

DC Ross, I emailed you

great , email me and we'll do the details part.................tkcrabby@yahoo.com include your address and other info and I'll reply with mine.

Schaller Mini Chrome 3+3 locking tuners Like the title says, I have a set of Schaller Mini Chrome 3+3 locking tuners and I would like to trade them even for a set of Sperzel locking Chrome tuners or maybe Fender inline 6 locking tuners or a set of Schaller Mini 6 inline lockers in chrome. As you can see from the picture, these have not been installed and are in their original bags with everything included. trade for the above mentioned tuners OR sell for $50 shipped..........

I do feel somewhat alienated,,,,,,,,,, however it is most likely very true that the ones MOST "alienated" is very likely the ones that would have traded with me and that of course was the reason I began this thread in the first place, so thanks for sticking your nose in and making it so no one will trade. How would you like it if I did the same to you when or if you posted something for sale or trade? Saying whatever it was was not worth what you asked for it and it drove people away from buying /trading for it? I doubt that you'd like it either,,, shame people don't "do onto other's as you'd have them do onto you" ,,,,, that alone would make it a much better world.

Strange, it seems to me that in the past I've seen people say the following right here on this forum to newbies, "Welcome to the forum" Guess I'm getting old-timers disease,,, my mistake I guess.

Wow guys,, you'd think I was the devil himself. I was going to put together a single cut out of the Les Paul bolt on body BUT decided I would build another (put together) another Strat , this time for my son, he has an Epi LP but doesn't have a Strat, yet. This neck is made by Larry K as far as I know,, I did NOT buy it from him so I have no way of knowing for sure, that's the reason I didn't mention it in the first place,,,,,,,, I have done one refinish,, and a Tele build (another parts build really with someone here doing the finish work for me) and the same fellow is doing another finish on a second "build" and then there's this "stratish" build I was going to do. I thought this would be a great place to trade with someone because everybody here builds/makes/assembles their stuff,,,,,,,, BUT I guess I was wrong........... I'll go somewhere else,,,,,,,,,,, you sure don't make people feel welcome, not even a little bit!

Hey guys,, I added in the original post that "I would trade even for a set of Fender Noiseless Strat Pickups in good shape.........."

Hey guys, I'll even trade this neck for a Mighty Mite Strat neck with an Ebony fingerboard ,,,,,,,,,,,, I have a Strat I need to finish up. Lets trade!

I just checked and it is a 24 3/4 scale as far as I can deduct. I've had it a while and don't remember exactly what I gave for it..................... if I can't get a "figured" wood neck then I'd consider something else,,,,,,,, you never know what might strike someones fancy,,,,,,,,,,, maybe someone will trade a nicer MM neck for it,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I'd trade it for a TELE or a STRAT neck,,,,,,,,,,,,,, really want one with Abalone dots if at all possible.............

Sorry I didn't think if this , even though it's obvoius to me now.. I'm 99.9% sure it was built by Larry Karosa. He sells a fair amount on ebay.................... I'm at work today and won't get off dutybtill tomorrow so I'll have to make sure about the scale tomorrow but agagin I'm 99.9% sure it's a 24-3/4" scale.

Anyone?

Never mind!

Here it is , pretty much done except for the string trees and the decal for the front of the headstock.

Soneone emailed one to me.......... thanks!

Update: I ended up getting one of the guys here to do the finish on the body. (He did a GREAT job to) I'm now in the process of putting it all together. Here's a picture of the front and back of the body . http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e249/tkc58/100_0458.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e249/tkc58/Frontdone.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e249/tkc58/Frontdone2.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e249/tkc58/Backdone.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e249/tkc58/Backdone2.jpg

I bought one of their 3 way tele type switches and it's been a while, so I guess I've lost the diagram,,,, and they won't give me another because neither they nor I can find my "order number" so I'm outta luck from them so I ask here. Surely some of you guys have used this switch in something, right? ALL eight "lugs" are on the same side. I'm also using two of the Guitar Fetish stacked humbucker Tele pickups on the same guitar but bought them used and didn't come with the diagrams for those either. I understand that these pickups have the same color coding as Seymour Duncan so they shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for any help given.

Ok, a change of plans , I'll be taking this stuff back and getting some Duplicolor automotive primer, paint (color coat and clear) for this project............. Then hopefully at some point in the future I'll be able to have the room to use my compressor and spray gun or guns........................ I have to use rattle cans this time and hopefully this change will work out ok.

Thanks for the reply,,, OK, so,,, I guess since I've already done the stripping on the back and front it'll be OK to stop right there and apply sanding sealer to the parts that I stripped and leave the original sealer in place on the body edges? Gosh, I hope so cuz it's tuff to get that stuff off. I have a compressor and a couple of guns, one gravity and one siphon BUT no shop,,,, just a VERY Full attached garage that I don't think would be warm enough during the winter to do this so I'm thinking of taking this to "work" to do there as a winter project,,,,,, I have a fair amount of "down time" there so I can work on it there............. I've seen some good and some bad reports on using the Krylon products,,,,,,,,,,,,,, this is my first paint job on a Guitar so I think I'll try it as an experiment, IF it messes up I'll redo it with something else,,,,,,,,,,,, if it takes all winter, it just does.

Ok, I got a little antsy and went ahead and sanded the sealer off of the front and back of the body,, ALL that's left is the edges of the body,,, of course this will be by far the most difficult so, what's the best way to do this,,,,,, a Palm sander wants to "rock" too much a drum sander of some type, maybe something that fits on a Dremel?

Here's the paints and sealer I'm planning on using, will they work OK together?
