hooglebug Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 FINALLY someone who understands I will buy it once the one you're building now is done. Any luck with the finishing on that one? will get the burst finished today hopefully, then its a few days of clear coats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 the strat (and the holly to a lesser extent) look darker in the pic than they are and before anyone says it, all the odd looking angles of bridges and pickup routes etc are camera tricks - i just noticed it and everything looks out, but its not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 YES looks great, do you still have to put the clear on or is that already done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 theres only one coat of clear on - only did the burst today. my extractor fan keeps packing up so im not able to do as many coats per day as i normally would be. if it doesnt bugger itself up too much i should get all the clear coats done by the end of this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 i originally bought a strat neck from hooglebug but i screwed up the measurements... so i had a body built around it. all I have to do is wire in the pickups more excited about the other one though. hopefully the hardware colors won't clash too much oh and hooglebug, what cases can you get for these? I know the case you got for the blue guitar ate away at the finish and you had to line it with that velvet material. doesn't have to be a massive flight case like last time - any standard (but well built) case that is a good fit will do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooglebug Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 in case james pulls the trigger, i thought i better get an outline of the desiree for a template. so instead of doing what i normally do, i thought id download illustrator and give that a go. i used the pen tool to go around the outline after i made it the right size, and then measured for where to put the bridge. hmmm, looked a little low, so i brought in a pic of a classic and made it the right size (its a different scale length but i made a box half the scale length so i knew it was right) and it turns out i must have got the measurements wrong in photoshop because it looks tiny! when the nuts are in the same place, the bottom of the desiree passes through the lowest knob of the classic.

cheddatom Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 desiree. How are you pronouncing that? Desire? Desirey? Desiray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 How are you pronouncing that? Desire? Desirey? Desiray? arent the last two the same? i would say it des-ee-ray. but if you want to say it pump-kin-ator i dont care hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 It depends but if you're from stoke desirey would be "desire ee" if you know what I mean? If you pronounced it "desire ay" you'd be counted as a frenchman and shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 arent the last two the same? i would say it des-ee-ray. but if you want to say it pump-kin-ator i dont care hehe That's what I thought it was. pumpkinator would've been my second guess though Also, I'm not familiar with how the finishes go on, but are they already at the stage of having the high gloss part on? can't help but think the strat would look pretty amazing with a satin finish, but I'm guessing it's too late for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 the gloss part is me polishing the hell out of it. i can try just flatting it and using wire wool or pads on it and see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
