NG Project!

[Don O]

I wish. I have not gotten either of these bodies yet. These are coming from Dolmage Designs. The man does some impressive work

I checked out his website. Wow, very impressive work and reasonable prices. I gotta stop looking at gear.....

I have no idea. I was thinking of trying it with one of two guitars of mine that I have finished in Tru Oil already, but with a very thin and satin to semi-gloss sheen. But which one should I do? Or, start a new addition to the arsenal? ... UGH!!!!!!! Maybe I should just dump a big bucket of cold water over my head!

OK, I will try it on one. I could always sand it back if it does not suit me. After alll, I am the guy with 2 guitar necks in progress and a galllon of Naptha handy!

OK Sysco, you know I could not wait and I figured you did not want to either so:

After 12 coats of straight Tru Oil






After sanding it back a bit




After the magic mixture (but not yet dry)

Nice job...

I hope that wasn't over your wife's finest towels...

She gives me her left-overs for just such occassions! I also get her old makeup brushes for cleaning under strings and other hard to reach places (insert joke here)

No joke! That’s cool!

Please don't tell us what you do with her old underwear :-(

 

[RVA]

OK, I am sold. This is after it dried to the touch

My dad was a house painter. His female customers would give him there old nylon stockings that he would use to strain his paint. No joke.

Why do you have to strain paint?

PS - great looking necks.

Because it can get lumps in it. Either that or my dad had a thing for ladies under garments.

Real nice looking wood on the body and the necks look real good also. I bet you can't wait to get it all together so that your guitar collection can rise up to 70 guitars & counting. Time to build another new mini-warehouse Ray...you're going to need the extra space & a cute little helper!

If I had a warehouse full of guitars, nobody would ever see me again!

So, the headstock paint was turning out to be a hot mess. It had to go. I decided to take enough wood along with it to make the headstock take the stain this time



Now I will finish them off in the Tru Oil / Naptha mixture I made.

 

[RVA]

So, one of my bodies suffered a setback. In an effort to get out some remaining polish lines, "dry spots" developed (builders term) . Those spots need to be sprayed and re-polished. As cure time is 2 weeks, shipping is not anticipated until April 1.



Otherwise, I think it is really coming out nice and will be done right when all is said and done.

 

[Don O]

That is a gorgeous body.

 

[RVA]

My necks are done and curing.

 

[BlackSG91]

The wood staining on the necks look really good...it brings out the wood grain very dramatically. Oooh I sure love the ebony fret board one...looks yummy!
