So it seems safe to conclude that as long as the value of humidity percentage is significantly less than the value of temperature in degrees I am safe to spray lacquer. How much less I don't know but at 60% and 85 degrees things appear to work fine. I do know I took a meterology course in...

I did a little more research and I think perhaps the issue is not so much the humidity but the dewpoint.  That is to say the difference between the temperature and the humidity. For instance yesterday it was 60 something percent humidity but the temp was 90 degrees.  I sprayed and had no...

Going to uncharacteristically err on the side of caution and wait til tomorrow.

Was hoping to get another coat of sonic blue on my warmoth strat body this evening. I know you want to spray nitro in 50% humidity or dryer.  It is now and will be about 40% or so this evening but by 7pm it will be in the 50% range and will keep going up throughout the night into the high 80%. ...

Really curious to hear clips of this guitar. I'd planned on doing an Eldred (.047uf cap) mod on one of my guitars but I had never even heard of the Arlo mod before reading your post. Guitar is dead sexy by the way. 

Thanks.  I'll go ahead and buy pre slotted then.  Do you use bone or tusq?

Ordered a neck with 1 5/8" nut width.  Can I use a standard pre-slotted nut with this neck or will the slots for the E strings be too close to the edge of the fretboard?  I assume the string layout would have to be slightly different for a 1 5/8" width than it would be for a 1.650" or 1 11/16"...

Very cool. Steve did you use a clear topcoat on the body or was it just the colortone olympic white color coat?  I'm curious about how the color coat would react to UV light vs how the clear coat would react. Were you happy with the way the colortone stuff went on?  Did you use the spray...

Will do!

Thanks but yep that'd be a haul  :icon_biggrin: I'm not going to go further than Northern Mass.  COuple places not too far from me but I wanted to see if anyone had recommendations first

Thank you!

Ordered a Warmoth strat neck with 1 5/8" nut width.  Since this is a narrower nut width than the standard will I encounter any issues with bridge width?  Planning on using a vintage 6 hole strat trem like this one: ...

Hi, Starting my first Warmoth partscaster build and looking for suggestions for a tech in my area to cut a bone nut for me.  May have a go at it myself but I'm sure a tech will do a better job. Thanks!
