    Dreaming up a mango tango...

    I actually just bought a mango top, from Australian Guitar timbers. Not sure what I will use it for yet. This is what I purchased

    Gorgeous. If you add Rubio Sheen Plus, then follow up with a ceramic coating like N3 nano, you will get a nice semi gloss.

    Limited run of Flamed....Spalted.....Acrylic Infused....Strat® replacement bodies!

    Sounds a lot like epoxy resin. I still wonder how they limit the color to different areas. Maybe has something to do with the permeability of the spalted areas. Super cool look.

    5mm taken off the top of the body with a planer. Indexed the top to the body with pegs through the neck bolt holes so it doesn’t move during glue up. Every clamp I own, lol. 0.5 mm black veneer for a contrast strip. Flush trim router bit to match the body, then round over bit for the reveal...

    Those are gorgeous. How did you get the stains only in certain parts of the spalted pattern? Like the purple?

    I managed to find a nice, flat bottomed plastic drawer for the epoxy fill pour. TotalBoat with black pigment. Since the pour was on a nice, flat, level surface, it was easy to give a quick sand, then put through the planer. Still a fair number of holes to fill after the first pour, so had to...

    My first build.

    For anyone that's interested in a modified pick guard, this is what I settled on. I didn't want the face of the guitar covered like most telecasters, but I still wanted a pick guard for scratches and to cover the opening for the neck pickup. I bought plastic and metal guards and tried to alter...

    My first build.

    Awesome. Looking forward to seeing it. The Sheen plus and N3 Nano both added just the right amount of gloss, I'd say. It was a pretty matte finish with just the 2C.

    Rubio 2C Red Velvet looks to be a very close match to Aggie Maroon on my test on the Australian Red Gum. On the back, I'm not sure if I will use Rubio White on the maple or try a maroon and white crackle paint finish. It will depend on the tests. Although Rubio is thought of as an expensive...

    Second build.

    My first build I didn’t know about this forum so I just posted the result. For this build I’m going to post along the way. I went to Texas A&M and I’m an Aggie through and through, so I’m going to build an Aggie maroon and white baritone. I already have a Warmoth maple baritone neck. Warmoth...
