Nostalgia has had quite a run in the last few years. I'm old enough that I can get behind the trend but it will get old eventually. As a Troma fan (and I think I can speak for many of us here) I'm pretty excited about the Toxic Avenger reboot. If for anything I wanna see Lloyd get his props and...

Nobody will argue with you about it being trashy. My wife says “you don’t need a reason to like something” and she right. There isn’t a whole lot to enjoy about campy horror movies unless you’re genuinely into them.

Lol! Not sure why but my phone won't let me upload the pics. Enjoy the update!

Whipped these together last night in a sleepless stupor while watching the Toxic Avenger 4 for the millionth time. How’d I do? It was fairly simple to trace the shapes right off the body using tracing paper. I cut those out and transferred them to card stock using double sided tape & when those...

Oh it’s bad alright. You are absolutely correct. I take the heater out when I spray as well as the electric cable and anything else really. I even make sure the incandescent light is off also. 5-10 mins after I spray I bring the guitar inside to dry then I’ll open the porch door all the way to...

I got a mask alright. That goddamn nitro is no joke. I do not have a shop but I do have a front porch, a space heater and a very understanding wife. I warm the porch up to where it needs to be, remove anything that could ignite the nitro then I spray. When I’m done I exit the front door and...

I had some de waxed shellac laying around and decided to give this method a rip and commit to finishing with the cans of nitro I already have. Nothing is set in stone yet until I test on some scraps. I was able to acquire a mahogany plank to test on/harvest saw dust from. I'll be testing the z...

Single or triple datapoint aside I appreciate your insight and you taking the time to share your experience. Despite Warmoths policy it seems Tru Oil is reliably tested and proven to be adequate.

@stratamania for sure! Decided to spend another few days researching and testing on scraps. My first two choices were Tru Oil and wipe on poly. I read too many bad reviews on the feel of the poly. At the end of the day the warranty is only one year so I’m not sacrificing a whole lot using Tru...

I was planning on using tru oil originally but after contacting Warmoth they told me that it would void the warranty so that’s why I went with nitro. Also, I’m in the final stretch with the body and at this point starting to feel really confident with my spraying technique. My plan for the...

Def was going to finish the sides but mask the face of the fretboard. Been watching the Driftwood finishing videos pretty closely.

First of all, the build quality on the neck I got from Warmoth is absolutely stunning. I’m going to start the finishing process tomorrow. One thing I’m really unsure about is the neck heel. I was planning on masking the neck heel where it screws into the body until the last final coats of clear...

Absolutely great info! Thank you for sharing! I'm definitely jumping in a little over my head here but I've been playing for 28 years and have a lot of experiencing setting up my own instruments. I also have a lot of experience soldering and building so I feel like the learning curve won't be...

You're right. I believe I may have been mistaken or that it's possible that there are different pole spacings for different models. I also could have been looking at bridges not designed for Jaguars lol. I did find a few myself although if I decide to go with chrome instead of gold I might...

Thanks for your reply. I suppose the only upset is that I was hoping to use gold hardware and they don't offer that as an option.
