I thought I would draw members attention to the brilliantly named UK pickup company Evil Sheep pickups. Their online presence is charmingly terrible (no website, no FB page, 17 subscribers on YT) they are true old school cottage industry but they happen to make some sweet hand wound pickups with...

I liked your solid racing green idea myself

I just use the standard polycell paint stripper from b and q myself. It seems to take pretty much anything off. It's messy though, you'll need loads of kitchen roll. One of the most annoying things about paint stripper is that all that grain filling you've done will need to be re done. I still...

:glasses9: cheers PS: please keep these tutorial threads coming, they are a massive help to me and many others

Fantastic work as ever Tonar. I really like the way you shoot the sides/front and then back all in stages. Having just done my first sunburst, messed it up and started from scratch again (sob) I'll adopt your approach in future. Btw did you seal the sides with clear once they were done? Now...

Great stuff, I'll order tomorrow.

Great, that's for your help!

Hi guys, some time ago I finished a Warmoth Thinline Tele in Pure Tung Oil. I absolutely love the look and feel of the guitar but some years later I'm really thinking about going back, removing the Pure Tung Oil and refinishing the guitar in a nitro burst. My initial idea was just to sand the...
