Well I've got 3 coats of nitro sanding sealer on the body so far. Still might do a 4th depending on how it looks after this coat flashes off. I bought some aftermarket spray tips for the cans and they're stellar. The fan pattern from these fan tips are around twice as tall as the Stewmac fan...

Id love for mine to look like that first guitar. Looks a lot like Kenny Wayne Shepherds recent signature guitar, which I'd LOVE to own. His has a custom Sonic Blue, called "faded transparent Sonic Blue". Only ever used on his signature guitars. Edit: that's a Mary Kaye? Whoa. NICE. 😍 Honestly...

Is it difficult to convert a 6 point trem to a 2 point? Is it as simple as filling the 6 screw holes and drilling 2 larger holes for the 2 posts? I figure as long as I line up the saddles so they're in the right place, I can just mount the posts wherever it is they land after positioning the...

The next one might actually have a Floyd lol. I thought about that only after I had already bought this body.

Been working on this for a few weeks here and there. I picked up a paulownia Strat body a few weeks ago because I've been wanting to finish a guitar ever since I repaired my Epiphone. So I ordered that body. Next up was a neck. I attempted to use the neck from my blue Silvertone because I...

40!? Wow I didn't realize you had that many at one time. I think that might even be too much for me lol

One thing I noticed is that fatter bass strings sound weird when fretting notes after the 12th fret. So I'm torn between going for bigger strings and minimizing that weirdness.

Haven't tried these yet. I did try EB Paradigms recently. Also tried out D'addario NYXL's Guess it's time to try cobalts. I was going to order cobalt flatwounds, hoping that the cobalt would counteract the dead sound of flatwounds lol

I got my Hot Rod Deluxe back from the repair shop so it'll be getting a workout today. Oh wow. I didn't realize you had a 1st gen MP15. Nice! The current model just jumped in price by $100 in the last couple of weeks. From 2019 to 2024, it went up a total of $30, from $249 to $279. I...

Went and picked up my amp yesterday(Monday morning). Left around 7am and got there at 930. Got back home around 1. IT WORKS! WOOHOO! Turns out that it wasnt the bright and Drive/More Drive switches that were the problem. I figured it probably wasnt but that's all I saw that might have been the...

13 days later and my amp is ready to be picked up! Terence was right on his 2 week estimate. Just like every review said he would be. No charge. All covered under warranty. Can't say enough good things about Slemmons Music Services in Dallas, TX. He even fixed the locator pin on my tube so I...

You could try the Whammy Ricochet but it doesn't have an expression pedal. Hmm...

It's still crazy that I blew the fuse in 2 amps at once lol. And only 1 was being used. How's that work? 🤔🤷

Im not sure. I was in the middle of Asking Fender to cover shipping to and from and then my best friend said he would ride with me if I just wanted to go ahead and take it. So I told Fender to disregard my shipping inquiry because I was just going to take it myself since it's only 2.5 or 3 hrs...

Yep. I still haven't heard from the first people I emailed. I also emailed a 2nd place, a place that comes very very highly recommended, that has already called me to see about bringing it or shipping it to them. Slemmons Music Services in Dallas, TX. When I was looking for the best Fender...

5 Months later... It already needs warranty repair. Talk about leaving a bad taste in your mouth. 5 months into owning my first Fender tube amp and it's already breaking. That doesn't make one want to buy another Fender amp anytime soon. Anyway. I noticed today that the drive channels won't...

Ordered a new Demonfx pedal. One of their Friedman clones, the Freedman BE-ODX Plus, IIRC. It's the double pedal. They have a BE-ODX and a BE-Deluxe II or something, also. Both single pedals. Their other pedals. BE-ODX BE-Deluxe II, a BE-ODX with a tight switch instead of a knob, which...

Above is a Bessy clamp with a neck caul from a JAWS fret press on the bottom and a 12 inch radius block cut down to fit between the nut and first fret on the top. Like this I glued it and clamped it. That's how the color was sanded through. When the two edges of the finish came back...

My dad had a triple green 69 Dodge Super Bee. Green exterior, green vinyl interior, and a green vinyl top. You'd be surprised how hard it is to find a pic of one with the stock, flat hood. Everybody puts Hemi hoods and stingers on theirs so you never see the one with the 2 chrome pieces on it...

OK so I took a few more pics of the detailing I did around the nut and binding.
