Yeah you were right.. I should let it the way it was... now i will have to sand it a little bit, but it´s hard to say right now. I must wait till tomorrow to see it on nice sun light And let it cross my mind
-
Finally I have something for you Today I´ve been to our local store and bought blue stain, so when I came home I stained the body immediatelly Hope you like it.. it´s too bright for me now.. tomorrow or tonight I will stain it once again and we´ll see how it turns out...
-
I used a alcohol based dye from local store.. No stewmac or other luthiers stuff... I´ve got limited resources. I don´t know if I could find black epoxy in our store too... I´m going to take a look in there next week. I´m looking for some waterbased grainfiller, blue stain or transparent color in spray and black opaque spray for burst. Wish me luck
-
Thanks... I don´t think it will get any worse, because the ash top is not very thick, so the basswood should handle it... this crack isn´t wide at all -> I can´t even put a needle in it, but it´s sucking the dye and that´s making it visible...
-
So this is the Day I´ve started finishing my baby Sanded everything to 240 grit an dyed the top,... Another shot ...but when I did it, something bad happened. There appeared a crack on the top on the left half of body hope it wont be that obvious when finished...
-
Ok, let´s see yesterday photo update And today little progress: Dyed pickup and electronics cavities and tested black dye on the upper horn... I´m satisfied with the result Detail of upper horn

Thanks for all your replies. Today I want to slightly sand the neck and finish it with another coat of nitro. Also I want to sand the body, maybe even stain it with some black dye to raise up the grain of ash top... I´ll try to post some pics later EDIT: Finally shaped the AANJ-ish neck joint, sanded sides of body. Unexpected malfunction of my router caused a big trouble with completing electronics cavity, so I have to look for some router now... Also I have some problems with uploading photos , so you have to wait to see the progress
-
Thak you vey much. Now I got the second coat on and the neck looks even more beautiful
-
After two months of illness I´ve finally got som work done. Past few days I´ve been sanding, sanding and sanding, and today started to finish the neck. I´m using nitrocelulose lacquer again. Sanded and fretboard masked I like how the subtle flaming popped out BTW: I´m using a brush, not spraying the lacquer... I like this way on necks. I´m going to spray the body
-
I´m building now this kind shaped guitar, but I don´t have that beautiful maple top I have just nice ash and I will finish it with nitro blueburst
-
I don´t know.. killswitch? Won´t you shut the signal down accidently when you will play a little more... wild.. huh?
-
Hi, Very nice and clean work you´ve got there. If I were you, I would route the el.cavity a little bit more, then glue in a piece of wood, then re-route the trem cavity again just for an eye. What do others think? And don´t you think the pot hole is too close to trem cavity? Otherwise I like this guitar and I´d like to build some like this
-
Lookin´ really great!! I´m a fan of natural strats, and that glued neck is also my favourite option... Post some progress protos
-
Definitely... with new hardware it wouldn´t look that sweet
-
WOW!! that is a very nice guitar... I´m building musicman-ish copy right now and the first picture put a bug into my head... I mean carving the top.. we´ll see
-
Wow! That is a nice looking project.. Looking forward to see some progress. Good luck with it
-
Hello all I want to glue in the neck... is it possible if the neck is flatsawn? Original plan was to make a bolt-on joint, but I thouhgt it will improve sustain and tone when it will be glue-in. All necks that that i saw were glued-in are quartersawn..
-
If I was you, I would pick No. 3. You will route the pickup routes, neck joint and the bridge there... the stripe won´t be visible too much I think..
-
Finally Started My First Build...
oblaty replied to mattharris75's topic in In Progress and Finished Work
Have you also finished the fingerboard with tru oil? -
Today update... routed the neck pocket and adapted the neck heel Another shot Full shot without neck I will contour the back of the body much more this is still too rough Full shot of back of the joint
-
Hello again.. after some time I got the body cut out at home.. What do you think? I want to stain it blue, maybe some natural binding and opaque black back. Clearcoat with nitrocelulose lacquer. All input welcomed...
-
Today finally picked up wood for body. It is basswood back with ash top. Make you own opinion, but I think I´ve picked a good one
-
You don´t use a respirator? If not, you really should. Neck looks pretty good...
-
What the hell is that? Interesting design btw, but it needs a lot of work to do...
-
Looking very good so far.. very nice and clean work
