While we’re on the topic, can you get a dummy pickguard for a rear rout body that still lets you use pickup rings? I want a build with P-Rails and Triple Shots but I hate the look of flat top bolt-on neck guitars with no Pickguard.

UPDATES! I realized I needed a trem cover for my Meadowhawk I’m still waiting on, so I took the opportunity to order the Tele Custom body and pickguard at the same time. Went with normal Swamp Ash, and the forearm and tummy contour. I skipped the DIY paint ready option because I still have a...

So I’m basically between the Blue/Gold Dually and the Emerald/Purple dually for the neck pickup. It’s a coin flip, I’m 50/50 on which one I go for. Silver middle and Red/Blue Dually bridge are basically locked in. I still really want to do a Dinkycaster build at some point, but I’ve started to...

When you spray the 2K finish on a guitar, how many coats do you give it? Do you use the whole can? I know you have a limited amount of time from activating the can to use it.

@aarontunes Do you not have a coworker who will do this for you during off time?

I’m gonna be the 10 dentist and say I prefer the second pickguard. Looks more guitar-ish, and with the flake finish would be reminiscent of Belinda Butcher’s Mustang. Top one looks more bass-ish like a 50s P-Bass or a Tele Bass (would still look cool though).

I like it, it’s sort of Silhouette-ish, but it’s only rear routed, and a bit too modern and pointy. The Dinkycaster is better for this.

I got the Tele neck direct mounting wood screws, M3 threaded inserts and steel screws, and pickup foam. I’ll worry about this when the time comes. But as of now I can do, either/or inserts or wood screws. After actually holding the screws up to the pickup feet I feel a little more confident...

My dad, who I went to see Sabbath with on that 2014 tour, talked about seeing Sabbath once in the 70s and everyone thinking the opening act was better, even though nobody knew who they were. I assumed he was talking about Van Halen because that’s like a codified part of hard rock history and...

The more I read up on this Back to the Beginning show, the less I feel bad about missing it. Seems a bunch of bands are just doing 25-minute sets and each is required to do a Sabbath cover, one of the bands is rumored to be a reunited Soundgarden with that Girl From the Jim Carrey Grinch...

I really liked Goblin Flake. Was among my top choices for a future Jazzmaster build with Dragon Burst, Metallic Dragon Burst, and Jungle Burst Dye.

Anyone have any experience using this stuff? All pointers appreciated. I’m trying to go for something similar to Ibanez’s "Blue Chameleon" finish or PRS’ "Nebula" finish. I have a can of the Rustoleum Blue Cosmos I want to use. I know the color shift paint needs to be applied over a black...

Anyone have any suggestions or input on if I should use two .022 caps or one .022 cap for the bridge tone and one .033 for the neck/middle?

I read it was about hippies. I’m not sure if skinheads really existed in 1970, and if they did I’m pretty sure they were still the working class white guys who liked reggae and weren’t co-opted by Neo-Nazis yet.

Saw them at Ozzfest 2005 in Camden NJ where Ozzy couldn’t make it and they flew in Rob Halford to fill in. It was a very odd show. People didn’t know if they wanted to be excited or start a riot. Saw them again on the tour in 2014 without Bill Ward. It was probably the most age diverse show...
