Sorry for the non-Warmoth content...... This guitar knotty enough for ya!? ;) It's being built for me by a guy in TX....spalted pecan body, Texas ebony fret board, mesquite neck.....

What name?

Best way to avoid posting about how to fix a mistake... Practice on scrap swamp ash!! :) CBs grain filling advice has helped me a lot..... There's plenty available on ebay..... It's worth it to spend a few more bucks on scrap wood than to potentially mess up an expensive body....

Thanks for the replies guys... I've used sand paper after one coat and it was fine..... But i'm going to give the steel wool a try as well Thanks!

I did a search to see if this was talked about already...maybe I missed it I just applied one coat of Tung Oil to my scarp swamp ash..... When I sand before the next coat....what am I looking for when sanding? Am i sanding lightly? What should it feel like? The can says use 400grit....but ive...

Jon Catler makes some interesting guitars....(I think he makes them anyway!!) But I know he plays microtonal music.... http://www.freenotemusic.com/site/store/guitars.html

Not only is the Strat a beautiful looking guitar...... To my ears, it's the swiss army knife of electric guitars. There are sooooo  many sounds one can get out of a Strat. From twang...to metal...to warm jazzy tones....they're all in there!!

My first electric guitar was a Mako strat style guitar. It was red with white stripes(wanabe EVH paint job) and was heavy as hell from what I can remember....I think it's in pieces now somewhere in my parents house. I graduated to a Kramer Focus 3000 after that. It was my main guitar for about...

very cool.... i have a swamp ash body that i was thinking of playing around with different color grain fillers... i have clear, brown and black....i may experiment with mixing some or all of them together to see what i can get

that looks great.... so the 1st and 3rd pictures are with black grain fill post sand??

Thanks CB.,....makes sense now!!! I'll give that a try If this board didn't exist....I have no idea what I would do!? ;)

Hmmm, interesting.... Do you happen to have photos of the contraption? I read CB's description but it's not making sense to me... I have Callaham tuners....pretty much Kluson's....and was wondering how I will get them in the peg holes as they are a pretty tight fit.

I can't answer your question....but, being that Im about to assemble/finish my first guitar, I'm not putting a drop of stain, oil or anything on the actual neck/body until I know how things will look and feel first. So, i've bought some scrap swamp ash and birdseye maple to practice grain...
