    Gotoh 510 Bridge?

    My next project is going to be an SG, so I was looking at bridges. I was looking at the Gotoh 510 but I'm now confused. At Warmoth they show the Gotoh 510 as a one piece bridge. I looked at the pics of Greg Stewarts LG in the Misc forum and thats what he used and it is one piece. I then looked...

    Need some advice on quantities

    Heh, well, for the second part of the question, this is going to be my second build, and I'm just deluding myself I guess. For the first part, it is going to be a mahogany body. I will be using Tung Oil for the neck so won't need nitro for it. My first guitar was done entirely with Tung Oil...

    Need some advice on quantities

    I would like to know if anyone could tell me approximately how much of each of these products I would need to finish one electric guitar. I realize it would only be a guess but it you could give me a ballpark figure on how much I should buy, I would appreciate it. Grain filler Sanding sealer...

    Need Finishing Advice. First Project.

    I can't help you with the painting part, but I just finished my first guitar, a strat clone, and I finished it using only wood stain and Tung oil. I have done some wood working and had used Tung Oil on furnitureso I was familiar with it. For the Strat I used polymerized Tung Oil as (apparently)...

    Huge Sounding SG

    Ok, thanks. But why on the Warmoth description of the SG body does it state 25.5 scale?  That makes it sound like you MUST use the 25.5 LP neck.

    Huge Sounding SG

    Nice, very nice. Ok, I'm not certain this is the right place to ask this but since you built the SG...why not. Give me hell and tell me to move the question if you wish. I 'm pretty new to building, I have recently built a Strat clone, but thats all. I want to build an SG from Warmoth parts...
