I am not a guitar builder so curios what the wax is for and does it affect tones?

No wax, nitro finish

That looks like a great body! What happen with PRS. I must have missed it as I thought you were a PRS guy? I have been pretty busy with work laying guys off & me being the only guy now

Yep just been busy working and working on house and helping my daughter so I really haven't been playing, but slowing down now that the holidays are over and work settling.

FINALLY, some good weather. First day it was warm enough to spray this baby. It is 4 coats in

 

[Thatbastarddon]

WOW!!! That is popping the grain nicely!

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

I was thinking the same, Sure is nice feeling when one gets progress on finish work like this. Great job, Ray

 

[Sp8ctre]

Now THAT looks like it's going to be fantastic!

That grain looks great. That electronics cavity looks like a dump trunk could fit in there.

 

[RVA]

Thanks guys! I love how lacquer makes wood come alive.

I am gonna keep the electronics pretty simple. 1 volume, 1 tone and a standard 5 way switch.

Ray, Smitty has some good experience wiring up controls from simple to extra goodies for added versatility. He made some good ideas happen in his Jackson

YES YES YES YES

Smitty does great work based on great ideas. I have also done the long menu of switches and tones. However, my life is complicated enough lately, so I am intentionally keeping my guitars simply. My super switches will remain in the draw!!

Oh, and no Floyd!!

I would like to re-answer this question since I mis-understood it the first time. The wax in the pickup cover is to tighten things up between the pickup components and the cover to help prevent feedback.

That does look nice, Mr Tuners - the lacquer just brings out the grain and looks so good. I really am not sure why on any half decent bit of wood anybody would want to paint opaquely over it...

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

RMAOTHF Grumpy betty. @ Mr Tuners. LOL @ NO Floyd

 

[eSGEe]

I SHOT CEREAL MILK ALL OVER MY COMPUTER!!!!
