is that a warmoth body?

here is 3 good coats of clear right before level sanding.
you won't notice a good shine until the 9th or 12th coat.
im planning on doing 18 coats and letting it sit for 2-3 weeks before buffing.

fucking sweet

i had no idea it took that many coats

i was just joking when i said 50

robert(original) · Post by **robert(original)** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 10:39 pm

i know you were, if i did 50 you would not be able to tell the diff between the frets and the fretboard, they would be even!
but yeah, 9 looks good, 12 looks great, 18 will be AMAZING!!!!

WTF!!!!
HILARY!!! open it up, make sure both back plates are in there as well as the og pickguard and the new pg.
it looks like the cream one is in there but the back plates would be small enough to slide thru!
those, mother, fuckers, 3rd time being burned by the postal office in 6 months.

did the stamps on the back of the cream guard ever dry?
they got all smudgy when i tried them the first couple of times, that is why there is an insane amount of black ink on the back.

well im glad that everything is there. rob, im going to lafayette atm to get a new bathroom fan, i will be gone for about 4 hours, if you get home before i get to a computer, and you have some questions call the number on the card, im thinking that depending on close the guard was to the bridge and neck pocket that that one may be too snug, but you never know.
hope you like it!
post naked body shots!!!!

of you self!

no not really, the guitar

and yourself!

its saturday morning. i couldn't sleep so i woke up early solder in hand.

alls i needs is a toggley. (in the mail from GFS bob)

heres a shot to better give representation agains't my white ludwig

all the screw holes fit fucking ace. good ass job. i might have to shave a little in the neck pocket on it....but i would rather shave it my self then have it come out too short and show guitar underneath. ill wait for the neck to perfect it.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY i heart you duocaster

I love the knobs on that. it looks fucking nice.

robert(original) · Post by **robert(original)** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 3:12 pm

wow, looks like it actually fits pretty decently, cool, very very cool.
did you have to make the pup routes any bigger?

Sparky · Post by **Sparky** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 5:53 pm

That looks a lot better than I thought it would. I'm still not sure about the knobs, but the pickups look great. Can't wait to see it all together.

Now, time for me to solder in a new pickup in the Univox and replace the tele's neck pup. Fun....

robroe · Post by **robroe** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 8:14 pm

i HATE strat knobs. more than arm socks and scumbag sparkle jagmasters.

PICKUPROUTESWEREPERFECT.

robert(original) · Post by **robert(original)** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 10:44 pm

no shit?
well thats good.
im still at a stand still with the other guard, i hate trying to do something im not familier with, so if it cool with you i want to wait until i get my table router up and running again for i finish it, is that cool by you?
if its not then i could try it with the hand held, which im sure would work fine, it would just feel weird the entire time.

Anything about a Strat rules.

robert(original) · Post by **robert(original)** » Sun Feb 03, 2008 4:47 pm

except when it has 3 stickers on it, its beat to crap, and its over 3 grand becuz someone once played one that sounded good on a record. once.

YO I GOT 2 TOGGLEYS AND ONE TELE BRIDGE FROM GFS TODAY!!!! the toggly is big and tuff so i had to make the middle hole alot bigger. i used a countersink on both sides, and then used a dremmul to clean up the ratty shit around the inside of the hole after countersinking. doing it this way allows the most percision. so much so that the toggley is then screwed into the pickguard itself, not just slid in. then the washer, and the locknut.

ROAWRRRR
