I used regular india ink that is generally used for drawing/inking as it's cheap and won't fade. I used a brush to put on 2 or 3 coats to be safe. Yeah, I have mixed feelings on how the end grain turned out, I maybe should have only applied the white filler to the area I wanted any grain to...

I did a project with a warmoth body blank that was similar to that. Here is the link where I posted some pics: http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=2634.msg26528#msg26528

Ha, feel free, one thing to keep in mind is use more than two coats of sealer like I did as the white filler doesn't like to sand itself off very easily. Otherwise it's easy to actually sand through the black india ink/paint, and then you have to make touch ups.

They're just a weird design inlays, as a scalopped neck, I could only get dots otherwise, so they're actually decals under the finish. I used india ink to get the body jet black, added some sealer, and then used white grain fill, and sanded the excess off.

I'm going to repost some better pics this weekend, these are from an old digicam.

Swamp ash body blank I cut to my design, with a scalloped birdseye maple neck and stainless steel frets. Bill Lawrence 500XL pickups, and a "radioshack" killswitch. Let me know what you think.  :icon_smile:

Without pics, this really is a useless thread :confused4:

Eau Claire is where I'm living now, but I'm going to be moving back to my hometown of Medford, WI (home on Tombstone Pizza, Whoooooo! :toothy11:) it's about 3 hours from Madison

Sorry, couldn't resist, should be here in Wisconsin on March 12th.  :party07: All wenge baritone neck with gold frets and pearl dots with Warmoth headstock. Will be going on my first ever body design I made last year and never finished.

What about rubbing a little candle wax in the entrance of the stud hole?  That's what I did to get them to pound in a little easier. sounds a little dirty i guess :doh:

Just did an phone order for an all wenge baritone neck with gold frets, they still have some gold wire left they said, FYI. Can't wait to get it :blob7:

25, btw, what do "the older guys" feel was the age they were in their prime?

I rub my guitar screws on a candle before installing them, they go in so much easier (not my original idea of course :laughing7:, but something to consider, they do go in/out a lot easier, and still hold firm

Thanks RLW, now I no longer have to stress about it. :doh:

Hello, can't wait to get my build together and show you guys!  Anyways, I bought a body blank from Warmoth, and it is routed for a tune-o-matic bridge.  I was planning on bolting this on using a neck plate, and as Warmoth angled the neck pocket for this bridge, I had a question. Since it is...
