Small before and after of current project... 45 years old and was found in a op shop in Melbourne, Nicknamed the Boomerang as took me 4 years to finish as it got "lost" by the kid who was the painter and basically was such a mess I had to start again. basically Other than the body and neck...

Hi guys Final finished all the scraping and Sanding of the excess epoxy which was a bigger job than expect as the stuff is harder than anything I had the joy playing with. Will not bore you with the details So now everything is flat and since everything the new trem block was in for drilling I thoug...

get a proper mask with filters on (from any safety shop) .. they usually have pretty cheap ones and they fit nice a tight so no fog (and they cover dust and fumes :clap: ) Thanks willow. Great idea and brought last night. Look like a extra from z grade zombie film and sound like darth Vader but aft...

I would say under the paint you also have a thick layer of sealer (sometimes they use a veneer but that looks more like "plastic")....a way to test it is get a little bit of food colouring and try to apply it and it won't soak in also when you sand it it will smell a bit like fibreglass Y...

You have my sympathy re: heat guns and scraping :crybaby: Spent an agonizing few nights getting paint off an old black beatle bass ( see recent thread "hofner from Heck") So basewood then? I was told so, but I'm Not a expert but us far yes I think so. But sure the members With more knowle...

Would be interested but in oz so postage costs would make a little expensive for me.

That one tele with a difference

Anybody see any problems with the plan so far. 3cords Sounds like a grand experiment to me. Even if the pickups don't blend well, you should end up with 3 distinct tones. Who knows, you may like one so much that you end up with a single pup Strat. Works for Ry Cooder. Do you still have that red Rad...

Ok the mini humbucker is dead. So much for that cheap option. But the project is far from done. So currently I have a basswood strat body and maple neck with rosewood fingerboard. First step strip it back to barewood. Modify The body to a bathtub pickup cavity so we can go nuts on the pickups. Spray...
