Yeah, but they're not based out of Canada. I should email see if they have distributors in the area.

Yea, Montana (oddly enough) is German. And, the only place in the area I have found them is at a graffiti shop, but I'm nowhere near Canuckland. You can also try ebay and online stores, most aren't much more expensive. You should be able to find a lot in Canuckland, since I've seen some AMAZING graff writers over there...

If it's soft paint, tho, jus put some clear on it... Lacquer or some shit.

oh gad, please no.
rosewood, dots 'n' binding would be cool.
maple 'board jags are nothing more than a novelty. the black block ones from the '70s are cool because they're different, but my experience with '70s jags has been less than favorable.
a jag needs rosewood.

Astro,
Are you talking about the graffiti supply store that's on Mary-Anne, between St-Denis and the Main?
If not, please tell us where, exactly these can be had.

EDIT: Ah! nevermind. I've seen these.

Somewhere on Marianne between st-Denis and st-Laurent, I'll go look there since it's not a very long stretch of road. I'm curious to see the art gallery, too!

BTW, I love your avatar pic of the 5 roses sign.

So I got the Nitro from Lee Valley and started fucking around with the neck for the only guitar I have right now. Right behind my house there's a Sherwin Williams depot, I stopped see if they had any stains they showed me a few samples they had on Maple and I ended up picking up this one that looked really nice on their sample. I think it looks alright. The neck is from my Squier Deluxe.

The only reason I removed the logo was because I wanted to completely strip the satin finish, and didn't want that spot to look different (Just in case, wasnt sure if it would made a difference) The stripper ate the plastic around the truss rod, but no biggie, it still looks aight. I couldn't believe how thick the Satin finish was, I was gonna take pics but I had stripper all ever the place and it was messy.

Here are some pics, i did a light nitro coat and like 3 stain coats, I think I will do 3-4 more stain and then final clearcoat. Im going to put one of the '61-'62 Fender Spaghetti decal.

See how white the original neck was...

A few pix
