Thanks everyone.

So a few years ago I started this idea building a guitar as a tribute to my dad. Well today it is finally done!! I want to say thank you to the many forum member that helped me along the way, I could have never do this without this site! Here are the specs: Neck Indian Rosewood Ebony fretboard...

Thanks guys I think I know what I need to do. I'll give it a try as I get a chance.

Thanks in advance for any help. I have a problem with my wiring Setup: pickups:     - Neck P-rail     - Bridge: P-rail Switch:     - 3 way blade         * up - neck         * middle - both         * down - bridge Other switch (to control P-rail function)     - on-off-on mini switch (one switch...

Got time to take a better picture of the body. This will probably be the last post here, I'll start up a thread in the build section once I get started on it

Nice ... didn't even think of that

Thanks Cagey, I'll pick some up tomorrow, going to need it anyways.

Thanks guys. I wanted to take a better picture, what do you guys wipe the wood down with to get the grain to pop. naptha, mineral spirits?

Look what was waiting for me when I got home today! Started planning this about a year and a half ago a lot of you guys gave me some great feedback in this thread: http://unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=19886.0 I took my time to learn what I need to and finally pulled the trigger a few...

Well I got surprised by my wife and kid with an early birthday present today. I've been eyeing up cheap acoustics for a while now, something I can leave lying around the house and something I won't freak out over when my two year old gets a hold of it. She has had my wish list for a while now...

Well I'm stuck at work at 2AM waiting on server updates so I thought I'd send an update. Although I wish I had a more recent picture, this is from about 4 weeks ago, here's an Idea how its going. I have more completed and mybe will be able to get another pic up soon as I have the side...

Thanks Dangerous, I'll give the gorilla glue a try. It doesn't appear that Stew Mac sells colortone grain filler (alteast I can't find it). all the other filler I find o their site is colored to match wood. So I'm still looking for a clear grain filler.

So I'm getting more comfortable doing the inlay and I'm finishing up the second test. Should have a pic later tonight/tomorrow. Now I have a couple questions I hope somebody can help me out with. 1. What glue should I be using? I'm currently using plain old Elmers wood glue. I think I would...

Well I got the first inlay test done. It's not so good, but I'm learning as I go and I think you can see some improvement as you go from the "K" to the "h". I also haven't done any filling or finishing on it yet so it may be better than I think. I also think that when I do the guitar I might...

The wood has arrived! I ordered the veneer sampler from woodcraft.com, seemed like a reasonable thing to do so I'll have variety to choose from as I mock things up. I also had some time to work with some wood I already had, and started practicing with cutting out the letters for the inlays...
