Thanks!! Im very happy how it came out. EVERY time I apply the first coat of tru oil in something, my mind blows 😂

💯

LOL 😂 here's the deal though. I ran out of kitchen towels and then used toilet paper (which I simply never switched back to kitchen towels). Purpose was to wipe off any excess stain, instantly clean accidents on my desk and wipe off excess tru oil from the container where I put it before...

And then tru oil: 5 coats: 17 coats: Now it will be drying for 3 weeks. So there won't be a lot of updates. But meanwhile, here's the amazing neck plate - as always ordered from the amazing TLC Guitar Goods (amazing shop in Holland, for all Europeans - I am NOT affiliated!)

On to the front... My first burst finish. It was CRAZY hard but I kind of went into flow mode and then it just happened. I am very happy with the end result. Starting from the outside (black) with the orange ground coat. In the back you can see me test wood :-) And here's how it turned out:

I went on to paint the front orange and the back brown On the back there were a lot of imperfections. While I hate relic, I do like to see that a guitar was actually experimented with. So I decided to leave it just like that. Before I moved forward, I used India ink to tattoo the guitar...

Step 1: Sanded down: Now you see the problem... It was sooo hard to sand down the back. I could have gone on and hate my life. But then I figured that I wanted to go "barn door" anyway. So I worked with the "dirty" version.

The finishing plan: end result: green/orange burst on front, dark brown (barn look) on sides and back step 1: brown stain on front, black stain on back to pop grain -> sand back step 2: burst on front, brown stain on back step 3: tru oil step 4: polish & wax Oh and of course... all the...

Here's the naked body and neck:

Hi all, [IN PROGRESS] Build time again! I've actually been on this one for a few weeks already but haven't had the time to update much. So I will give a recap of what happened in a few posts. Once done, I will edit this post with the final results. The idea: My style is very straight...

Thanks @aarontunes! I used THIS GUITAR for rhythm but swapped the active EMGs for passive Seymour Duncan Black Winters (hands down my favourite high gain pickups). All rhythm parts were recorded in the studio actually, using a single rectifier and a Marshall JVM 410 going through an oversized...

Hi all, here's the second of my band's upcoming album:

OK, I will start with my envisioned setup. Will then try Classic Plus next. Fascinating new world for me :-)

Woah, the truss rod cover is sick - was my first thought. Mine is a Mooncaster with a meadowhawk ebony macassar neck. Will soon start my build thread. @aarontunes really curious about those vids. Can you give me an indication of how "right" my powertron/classic path is?

I have never played filtertrons but recently enjoyed the Gretsch sounds a bit more. My current home turf is an H-S-S strat with, say a JB and some very straty single coils (Lollars, Fenders). I am currently building a Mooncaster and I was thinking to start my journey with Powertron (H) - Classic...
