Be careful with those drill attachments, you can burn through very easily. The actual polisher/buffers are a Dual Action Random Orbital and generally quite a bit slower RPM than a drill.

That's actually an interesting idea, I don't have anything with EMG's so that would be something new to try. I wonder if there would be room in the cavity for the battery ? It is on the smaller side.

Well I had a hard time getting the wipe on thick enough to sand and buff without burning through, so I experimented with the same tint in Minwax Polycrylic gloss. Used my good white china bristle brush to apply. 2 coats of color and 3 coats of clear. Torch to pop the bubbles. Light sanding...

Good Call, I think you're right !!

Great to hear, thanks. I think that would be something fun to try, and different than anything else I have. Just have to see how they're wired......

Thanks, I was checking out the Duesenberg Dominos and ran across the Starplayer Duo Tone Guitars with a P90 neck and a grand vintage humbucker bridge. Might be an interesting option……

Thanks for that info ! How do you have the push pulls set up, to split both pickups or any out of phase stuff ?

Alder, with Super High Grade Quilt Lam Top. Neck is Mahogany and Ebony. That's why I had to go with the tinted nitro for the back and neck so they would match. I definitely prefer using the custom builder but these pre-announcement showcase deals that Aaron let us in on were to good to pass...

Thanks, I'll check those out. I was really wanting P90's but couldn't pass up this body at the showcase price, so I was thinking of the Duncan P-Rails and maybe the triple shots to go with them.

You need a few more knobs......

getting a few parts in. Still not 100% sure on the pickups, but went ahead and ordered the hipshot open gear grip locks and bridge:

Yeah, I think adding the walnut stain definitely isn't necessary. I may try this on an Iommi SG build someday myself.......

So while I was waiting between nitro coats yesterday I played around with some scrap mahogany I had laying around. I had already grain filled it, so I followed the video you posted above and put some walnut stain, then added mixol true red to some Minwax wipe on poly for 3 coats. Not sure if...

Excellent, you’re gonna have a two-fer special ! Can’t wait to see it complete. The Osmo looks great, I love those finishes, similar to Rubio Monocoat.

LOL, my hiking pants ….🥾
