Here's whats going on here: Using Kathy Matsushita's Pore filling techniques (and sully's video tutorials) i was able to apply three coats of ZPoxy. The final coat thinned 50/50 with denatured alcohol. Kathy actually commented on my FB page and is following my blog!! totally made my day. then i sprayed 4 coats of shellac, and now im at 2 coats of wipe on poly at the moment. Its a long ass process. I kinda miss tru oil but I need to branch out. So far i've only used poly on test pieces to get my finishing and polishing techniques down. A guitar body is considerably different lol.

Finished. It's slightly visable at certain angles, but other than a complete refinish, there's nothing more I can do.
This is happening. Man i love Microplane rasps. this is done in 15 min using the square rasp. then i stopped cause i wanted to play video games lol.
Yup yup this is pretty much done. Time to wrap this build up. ill make my own thread next time. Don't wanna spam this thread. I do get excited and feel like sharing my progress with you guys though.
I'm starting on a Rickenbacker 320/325 clone. It's still on the digital workbench. I'm working out the dimensions. I need to order all the parts (pups, bridge, pick guard, etc.) to work out the final dimensions. The neck angle is easy: 0 degrees. Anyone know how high the frets and pickups should be relative to each other? I've found a couple of good build threads to use as guides: http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/luthiers-corner/83997-1958-325-capri-build.html http://www.everythingsg.com/forum/luthiers-corner/18849-new-javamagic-project-two.html Rather than do a set neck, I may just do a neck-through.
No longer on the bench now, but this was part of yesterday: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjcPGX7PJUA&feature=share&list=PLA6D01D66C9D6B4B9]Sully's Guitar Garage - Gluing a maple top - YouTube[/ame] Sully
