Clip-On Peterson strobe tuner from Stewmac - Super accurate and the "sweetened" tunings are great

That's a very common break for that style of neck and can be repaired quite easily for someone who knows what they are doing -

Some examples here -

Greg can fix it - Don's '57 Special - My Les...

Thanks Ray, yeah I've sprayed the Stewmac Water based stuff before. I never really got a great finish though?. Maybe I should have given it longer than the 100 hours it listed as the cure time.. ...

I see Mirotone now have a water based lacquer in their range - I had not seen that before ?..

I've been spraying my guitars using the Mirocat PC3220 Precatalysed Lacquer for...

Love the choice of timbers and details - Looking forward to seeing that timber after the finish is on :2tsup:

Cheers Alan, I'll grab the whole package then. Would love to see the construction photos you mentioned

I'll hit you up with any questions i may have, thanks for the offer ! :2tsup:

Alan, you mentioned in your archtop build that you used the Benedetto book as a reference. I'm thinking of trying my hand at building an archtop too.

Do you think the book is enough or do you...

Another beauty Alan, your knocking out some 1st class guitars mate :2tsup:

Looking good. Are you going to put the SG bevels on the sides of the body ?

Very nice Andrew, you did well mate. That black walnut looks amazing. Looks like you just about maxed out your bridge adjustment

OK, well I solved my power problem at least by adding a switch to the front of the table. Not pretty but it works..

I've rang an electrician mate of mine, he's looking into something that will...

Ah, nice ! :D

Thanks very much, I shall check, that out now

Thanks for your quick response Dan.

That's a pity, I thought I was on to a cheap solution :(

HI All,

I have built myself a router table and have my Maktek MT360 router mounted underneath.

To switch the unit on and off, I an constantly reaching under the table to activate the switch...

Thanks fells's ! Its a real bugger to photograph properly, I can't capture the glitter in the paint job very well.

Hey Guys,

Just finished up a new build last weekend, been waiting for some decent weather to take some photo's..

I was going for a retro look similar to a Les Paul Junior I retained the back...

No worries Wal, family comes first ! Got a build just finished, I'll take some shots this weekend and upload them on the forum

Wal, I cannot imagine the amount of time that must put into the amazing pdf's you make freely available. Your a very generous guy !

When are you down this way , we need to catch up again. Come...

I wish I had that problem Floody :-

If your still stuck, I'm sure I have something that'll do the trick

Cheers

This is a post of mine from another forum that was actually covering grain filling but I did go over my process for spraying a solid colour guitar - It may be of help

Hi,

I have a 30mm arbor on my table saw and I want to fit this fret slotting blade which has a 5/8" hole -

Nice one Floody. A little ripper mate, you should be proud. :2tsup:

That's an oil rubbed finish ?

Floody, I bought a oscillating spindle sander from Carbatec a while back, its perfect for doing the transition as well.

I don't think it will matter that much - Obviously, a thicker headstock is going to be stronger but were not talking a great deal of difference here. I've made some thinner headstocks myself and not...

As far as I'm concerned, its a personal preference. For a long time now, I have been filing my fret ends nearly flat( just a slight angle ) with the side of the neck then rounding them over. I...

Warmoth build their own necks and bodies in their USA factory - they are not outsourced from china. You might be getting confused with Eden.

So whats this all leading up to Wal ? :D An acoustic or archtop ?

Nice work Aussie, that's really impressive. Do you have a background in Acoustic guitar building ? I imagine that would come in very handy for an archtop guitar

I've used epoxy putty with a tint added - knead it into a thin tube and squish it in and sand level when dry.
