Here is the WIP. Just a word of warning if you decide to DIY a flake finish, you will find flakes everywhere for quite some time.

I am starting a new jazzcaster body with a flake finish. I am using createx colors UVLS 4050 water base urathane, Roth metal flake, and a Roth loose cannon gun (3.0 tip). So far I like what I am seeing. I have done 2 other flake bodies using a water based lacquer. They look good but the water...

The Schiller 475 used to have a side cam screw that locked the saddles. It appears the new ones no longer have that feature. Used ones are available. They will have a screw on the lower side.

Here is a fixed blade hiker I made for my sister. The padauk handle is from a guitar bridge blank (I have made a few handles from bridge blanks). I made the center mosaic “eclipse” pin on the day of the April 2024 total eclipse. It will 2044 before I can do that again. AEB-L blade w/ E cerakote...

I have mixed (and sprayed) with shellac and water based lacquer. I have also used it in epoxy casting. It didn’t have any adverse effects. It can have some transparency to it, but it is more opaque than a trans-tint or or color tone dye. From my experience anyway.

Sorry, I was looking at the black piped side dots that were min 2.5mm. They do go down to 1.5mm. If it were me, I would up size.

The side dots on my Warmoth neck are about 2mm. I eyeballed with calipers and also compared to some 2mm side dot stock I have. I would upsize just so my new hole could be a few microscopes off center and still cover the current dot. It looks like the luminlay side dots min size is 2.5mm so you...

I don’t know if this will fit. Looks similar even though it’s for a Bigsby. https://www.wdmusic.com/adapter-plate-for-fender-telecaster-and-bigsby-b5-or-b50-details.html

An A-B box would work for this situation. You can have guitar 1 as A and guitar 2 as B. Or, have A going to the amp and B to nothing. Switch to B while swapping guitars.

I was able to get to it in (using MS edge) maybe try again later?

I have used Tried and True original wood finish on 2 roasted maple necks (sorry, not on a body). It is bees wax and polymerized linseed oil. The result is super satin smooth. The added oil might offer a bit more protection and hardness than wax alone. First neck I used it on is still looking and...

The answer is 6. It appears these are the only certified guitar players. Looks like the rest of us are illegally playing guitar (or at least uncertified to do so).:) CGP's: Chet Atkins Tommy Emmanuel John Knowles Jerry Reed Steve Warriner Paul Yandell

looks like the scale length for the 7/8th is 24.75 compared to 24. I would think that would throw quite a bit out of wack. Info under the scale length fit section: https://warmoth.com/guitar-neck-fit

Sorry to hear you are having problems with the hipshot classics. I just measured my headstock and it is 14.5mm. Its a roasted maple strat neck. I just have some wax/oil finish on it so there is probably very little build up. I have the open classic non-staggered, non-locking tuners with the ump...

Thank you! Yes, the pup is in the sweet spot location.
