Nice grain! Both on the body and the fretboard...I'll be keeping my eyes on this topic. I think the tortoise guard will look awesome with the natural finish.

Good stuff!

I'll just add you to the infamous Build Thread Listing, if I may be so bold... That grain is looking sweet! :)

Carry on, and lots of pics please!! :lol:

Cheers

Hey Nutter,

I have two builds which qualify, as a matter of fact I should be back in the Dungeon Shop :lol:
applying another coat of Polycrylic to the neck ( as soon as I'm done typing ) and then applying the logo and name ( Stratopartster )


Hi '53! Please, everyone, feel free to add your projects to the list if you like! It's a very basic format but it's nice to have a collection of builds when you want to look something up, or jut to have a casual read on a rainy day... ;-)

Cheers

-Nutter

Thanks Nutter, I didn't know about the Build Thread List. I appreciate your vote of confidence. This is my first guitar build (not counting the ones I wrecked as a lad :lol:) ,the first one using high quality parts anyhow.
I'm sure I'll need some advice soon regarding electrics and setup. I know I've come to the right place.
OK well it's been slow at work, so I've made massive progress on my bare body. I spent the afternoon and evening polishing away. It is now incredibly smooth and shiny, in fact earlier tonight I put it down on the carpet and it damn near slid across the room :lol: :lol:
Here she is by the window this afternoon.

....and later this evening under lights.

I will explain my "French polishing" technique tomorrow if work permits. It's late here in Oz and I'm tired, but very, very happy :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Please do. I for one would be very interested to hear more on that.

What's your plan regarding the wiring for this shiny beast?

Keep us posted! :D

A beautiful translucent blue body and then... :(


Unfinished bodies are easy to find and resonably priced and it would have saved you all the labor.


I would love to have such beautiful translcent blue body on a Stratocaster.

Worry ye not! Oneal Lane must have missed that pic you posted of that rather tasty looking Trans Blue CS Strat you have. Quite the looker I must say.

Anyhoo, I'm very much looking forward to the details as to how you achieved that lovely finish. Oiled and then buffed?

there is always one, don't let it get you down.

Want a blue one, then buy one for yourself :)


Now let's carry on :D
I'm from Quebec myself and haven't heard someone say Shellac in years, how do you do it on a guitar?

It's all good gentlemen, different tastes.

Try to see it from my point of view OL. With a bit of effort, I've got me a nicely figured genuine Fender ash body for under a hundred bucks, a blank canvas.

G'day Papa-3, I'll talk Shellac later. Personally I don't touch the stuff, but I do follow the Shellac philosophy. :lol: :lol:

Yep, there's a least 2 on e-bay. Nice straight ones for $211 buy it now. I'd have bought one of these if I wanted to keep the blue. Mine was chipped and unloved. I bid on grainy bodies for months,red,white,blue and plain, looking for a bargain. This is what I ended up with.
