    Fender XII style guitar in Burgundy Mist (definitely)

    So, here's the plan, a guitar in the tradition of a Fender XII 12 string solid bodied guitar: not an historically correct instrument, but similar. Warmoth '65  neck, I won't be going for a right hand reverse version,  :icon_biggrin: Now I like little frets, and stainless is a...

    Notification of discontinuation of product!

    I'm sure there's a better way to word that title,  :-\ But anyway, I'd like to know if things are going to be ended, but before they're finished and it's too late! Just in case you're thinking of stopping things that I'm thinking of building, insane, irrational, weird things, maybe, but at...

    Seafoam Green Pazz Bass, an occasional series

    I don't really need another bass, but the Screamin' deals mega sale of 2017? Don't mind if I do! $204! Alder body, I think I'd have gone for a Ash body if I was going for the full build, but at $204? That's like a free bass body with a paint job! Also went for a P bass pickup in the neck...

    When you see a bass and the strings are like this: This one upside down, AND STILL WRONG! It looks even worse with wraps: :evil4: :evil4: :evil4: :evil4: :evil4: :evil4: :evil4: Worse of all is the Rotosound red wraps like that, but I can't bring myself to post any pictures of that...

    Warmoth's Vintage tint satin nitro finish

    I know this is the DIY Finishing, but it's got the word finish in the name, so I'm sticking it here. :band: Two questions, 1: It's not actually Nitro is it? I'm thinking about building a fretless bass with a maple fretboard fingerboard, a poly finish would probably stand up to the strings...

    I got some fancy tuners for my strat style guitar, 6 left https://schneidermusik.de/shop1/product_info.php/categories_id/1000340/page/2/products_id/122402 But alas their too big for a strat head, I thought they'd look nice, what with the art deco style, which they do, but... not the best...

    Active Tone controls, what's the point?

    Maroon / burgundy type finish

    I was looking through the finishes available (i.e. not DIY finishing, but there doesn't seem to be a place for general finishes/colo(u)r options etc) I'm just curious as to the closest to this sort of finish: Which is like a darker version of the Gibson SG Red. The closest seems to be...
