hooglebug Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 the flame has really jumped out now that it's finished - is the finish actually done or do more coats have to be put on? noooooo thats just the colour coats on. theres only a tiny sealer coat on top of that. no real clear coats yet. still really cold here, snowed again yesterday. and lily - i use acrylic cellulose. either two pack or already mixed.

Phil. Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 holy shit that is fucking beautiful Will the clear coat give it a more shiney finish? because that matte look is so fucking sexual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lily93 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 apart from ebay where's the best place in the UK to get spare parts like switches, pickup holders, capacitors, pots, all those sorts of accessories. Would like to buy in bulk and all at the one time.........so preferably the one website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 id do it when it was stuck on but before angles or carving were started. this one hasnt got binding on though. And then you'd carve right down the binding? What about on those last two you did. The pair. I'm was curious how to get the binding channel Just the right width on something like that.

I'm look for really awesome hardware, because if that simple stuff is blinging, it must be awesome right? A big fat volume knob, one you could get your whole fist over (exaggeration) but something chunky that makes people cover their ears when they see you reach for it.

I'm was curious how to get the binding channel Just the right width on something like that. no binding on them either hehe. you just use router bits with bearings on. you can get specialist binding cutting bits, but i had a set of bits and swapping the bearings around i found one was just the right size for binding.

Really? I thought they had cream binding between the tops and bottoms. Yeah I'm cool with the depth of the binding with the bearing bits, I was just wondering how you'd get the width right if the binding wasn't going to be flush with the surface. Only way I can see of doing it would be to do half the width off the top of the bottom bit and half off the bottom of the top, then put them together so they meet up.

If you had quite a thick top on it though, obviously you couldn't just route the whole of the top away though. I guess that's quite uncommon though. I'm excited about doing a flame or quilt top guitar, they look so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 well if you carve, you take it down to the binding. apart from on les pauls in the cutaway next to the neck. but thats gibson. the top on this one of james' is about 20/21mm. thats pretty thick. usually they're about 18mm, something like that. an inch would be pushing it really. especially with maple.
