So the neck finally arrived Woohoo!!!  :party07: :cool01: :headbang1: Roasted maple, gibson scale conversion with boat neck profile, ss6105 frets, earvana nut, no dot inlay. The smell is awesome and it feels even better. I have a warmoth rosewood, birdseye and regular maple necks already and...

Heres a few shots of a cabronita im working on First i applied a couple of coats of behlens sanding sealer I then used timbermate grain filler, ebony on the front and back, neutral on the end grain. Then more coats of sanding sealer which is when i started to take photos. Next came rothko...

Nevermind, it's the original filtertron mount.... http://tvjones.com/site/wp-content/uploads/Pickup-dimension-Vintage-FT-WP.pdf

Hi Everyone, I've purchased a TV Jones Powertron plus pickup, it's supposed to be the No Ears version for a cabronita body I'm working on. The pickup arrived and it has the wood screw mount holes and screws but the base plate is too long (80mm or 3 inches and 1/8th) which doesn't match up to...

I was getting the same error but only when going to http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/ http://unofficialwarmoth.com/ works fine They look the same but the www means they are entirely different domain names, the www name is an alias for the name without the www. Possible causes are the www...

Sooo today is new neck day! Here is a couple  of pics of the neck and the body saying hello to each other for the first time in what looks to be a long relationship

The biggest thing I took out of that was: "The darkened colour created in the process is not durable in UV-light, unless the surface is treated with UV-resistant coating. Normal painting processes present no problems, but when electrostatic painting is used, heat-treated wood requires extra...

The photos make the colour stronger than it really is. Under the pickguard and behind the neck plate it's a typical blonde colour. Anything outside the pickguard is the much darker mustardy colour it is now. It's like someone took it to the beach and covered it in oil. It's a porker too, the...

Hi guys and gals, I have a 1974 fender stratocaster for trade This guitar has been modified, the tuners and bridge are not original. The strap locks and Jack plate have also been replaced with brass components The pups and pots date to 1974. I'm looking for a telecaster of equivalent value...

I love the flame on your Tele R6, that's a great loooking guitar. I've applied about 4 coats of Danish Oil on it now and it's starting to get some sheen now. This is a photo of the 3rd coat

So she finally arrived, and now the fun really begins! The maple top is well sanded but the mahogany bottom has a few rough bits that need to be sorted out. The goal at this stage Is getting some epoxy onto the maple to ensure its integrity and grain filling the mahogany

Wow that is an amazing piece of maple. Surely whatever has happened can be recovered?!!?!

Thanks for the advice and feedback guys, I like cageys suggestion of something like ebony on canary for the neck. Ive been doing some research on stabilizing spalt, some have suggested using thinned ca glue and others minwax wood hardener to sort out the 'punky' wood. What epoxy did you use...

This is my third warmoth build, a swamp ash body in butterscotch blonde with a maple neck with a boatneck cut on the back and fender nocaster 51 pickups with standard 3 way wiring. After 3 builds ive got the fiddly bits down pat now so this is my best build in terms of the quality of my...
