11 guitars. Breaking 10 of them them down to individual parts and selling them so I can have more W's.

I have Texas Specials, Vintage Noiseless, and Rio Grande's and they all have the Fender character but different tones. It really is a matter of taste. The Vintage noiseless are probably the closest too a standard Fender sound. The Rio Grande's are my favorite. (Muy Grande HSS) So much of the...

A few years ago I built a computer desk out of two by fours and scrap half inch board. I never got to use for a computer desk as I got into guitar building shortly after that so it became my guitar building desk. It was cluttered all the time but functional. I did most of the work on the...

  I have a Fender 62 Reissue and a home built SRV strat. For the SRV strat I used the Gotoh Vintage tuners. Excellent! The previous set I had on there were supposed to be Genuine vintage Klusons. But they had the closed stem, no slot, and I had to file them to fit. And they cost more. The...

Workin on the paint now. It should sound sweet. When its done I'll post some pic's. :rock-on:

Its all your fault DocNrock.. Got me thinkin about Rio Grande's so i bought a set of vintage tallboys for my poplar project..

Got my Poplar body W guitar. And once again impressed by the workmanship. $129 and its a piece of art. Amazing especially when placed next to a Mighty Might body. All the holes are precision, the neck fit... well you know. Amazing.   So I have 10 guitars..  and only 1 W and now it feels like I...

I was refering to the actual shooting process. With poly shoot a light pass(tack coat).. wait a bit.. shoot a wet pass.. and your pretty much done. With lacquer the works just starts after you shoot. Poly will cover a surface better than lacquer. So for the rookie thats a plus. Rookies often...

Poly paint dries like a plastic coat(specially in your lungs) and as such is very durable. Removing poly off a guitar can be quite fun. So much fun that if you strip one coat of poly you probally won't do another.  But if you want a good durable paint for your car/guitar poly is great. Lacquer...

Grain fill. I usually like two coats at least. Check Reranch site for info on prep.

I'm thinking about putting a set of GFS pickups in my new W guitar. Still in thinkn' stage tho, still need to recieve body then paint it.

In front of a crowd? mm nah never do that. Just me an the dog. But hes more a critic than a fan.

Love Rio Grande's!

Like Ted said "Fugly". $1500 for a guitar you have to sneak up on and play in the dark? I'll pass.

I have built about 20 guitars. I have the parts ordered for my first warmouth. I have had a warmouth neck sitting around my shop just waiting to be used for  the last couple of years. It was for a SRV project but the neck was just too good for it. I bought the cheapest neck in the showcase and...
