THX! It's not really an 8 but the logo of my solo project (I'm pretty bad for inlays...:lol:) I'm on the way for the sound test, but I have a lack of inspiration (if you have a remedy, I'll take it ! ;) ) The Alumitone X-bar have a huge wide range of frequencies, very versatile, and pretty...

The guitar sings guys !!! It only needs the electronic plate ! Finishing with Tru Oil is absolutely THE fiinish. You can really get a high gloss or satin finish ! Really love that ! So here's the lady ! I will make a video test that I'll post on my facebook page! Let take a look!

Good job dude ! Keep it positive !!!! You've done a good gluing !! Wat to see it finish !! :cheers:

It match perfectly with the purpleheart in the middle ! You have an incredible stock of wood huh ?

The big work is achieved !! Heel re-worked, routs are done, body carved... Let's take a look !! The carving was done with a gouge and an eccentric sand machine. The poplar burl is difficult to work because of the random grain. The poplar get off close to the bubinga so.... sanding ...

A friend of mine did a bass with a blue stain finish and oil (not tru oil but it's the same base) You're right for the water based stain, it evaporate and leave the color. But the color don't really stay in the time 'cause the finish stau a little bit sticky. Try epxoy finish. It's easy to use...

Ok guys, I don't build as faster as Pondman but it's not stopped ! SO we have 1 pickup rout I wonder if I work the heel again... to make something smoother. But I'm a little just around the electronic cavity area... Any suggestions ?

Pondman aka the Machine... I don't know what to say....so I'm gonna whatch and applause !

Hi guys ! So we continue the built ! Never melt brown ink and epoxy... it turns to red:wallbash: And the last but not least ;)

Ouch... How do you get this finish ? Mat varnish ??

Wow, pretty lots of coats for a very shine finish !:hbang: You don't miss nothing :D So I'm gonna buy 2 good hands and 'ill be back :lol:

I totally agree with you, natural touch on the neck, best feel ever :D How many coasts did you apply on the last neck picture?

Nice shine ! Did you use epoxy to fill the grain (or other grain filler) or did you just apply tru oil after sand it (600 grit ?)

It depends of the section of the rod !(for a one piece neck) The rectangular section (width perpendicular to the string plan) is stiffer than the round section (which is omnidirectionnal). In case of multilaminate neck, you don't really need carbon (especially in quartersawn wood). It stiff...

Hi there ! This my home studio, I begin, but I really want to update this one ! The Gear: - KRK RPG5 monitors - M Audio Fast Track Pro - Torpedo live (wich is excellent !!) - Diezel Einstein combo (w/ G12K100) - Shure SM 57 - Shure SM 58 (not for too long) - AKG Perception 220 - Philips...

I'm curious.. Let's see it ! :D What' the specs do you want to do? It looks like a 50W amp ?? :cheers:

I agree with Riley. Use general epoxy (in your hardware store) it's enough hard and flexible (in the case you use the carbon to reinforce the neck) but use a square or a rectangular section ! The round section is useless in a neck !

Handtool work just amazing !!!! Congrat's :D I wondering if I do bevels or carving on my guitar... No more reflections carving is the way ! Thank's :cheers:

Why do you use dowels to glue the body ? Use alcohol to degrease the joint, let it dry and glue it ;) Do you will use the "bullet" to do the point of the superior horn ?

Totally agreed with you! that's the grain. You can use lemon oil too and prevent the moisture by using very fine steel whole (0000 or 00000 steel whole) when you apply the oil. But before it cracks, you can wait a very biiiiiiiig lifetime ! 'Cause it's glued so it prevents cracks.... The wood is...
