***Final Update*** Here's a shot of the completed finish. I was looking for something that would mimic the Gibson faded finishes and I could do at home, with no equipment or experience. I ended up with something way better. Pros 1. It was really easy to do. (no mess, very low odor, no finger...

***Update*** Well it is almost done. It just needs to cure for a week and maybe I'll go over it one more time with some 0000 steel wool. (Real photos in a week)

Hello All, It has been years since I posted, but a topic has pulled me out of retirement. Anyone have any experience with the Wudtone Body Finishing Kit? http://www.wudtone.com/product/finishing-kit-carmine-gypsy/ (It is a UK company and they have a US distributor.) I was gifted an...

I’m thinking about doing a small run of handmade pedals and I need some input. Let me start this off by saying I am in no way trying to sell or advertise these here but I do need input. I’m a guitar tech in the Southern California area and trained in electronic circuit diagnostics, repair and...

I never find deals like this on craigslist. I just picked up this used white Gibson Flying V for just a few more dollars than the used SG MM I sent back to musicians friend. More to come

I’ve asked this before but I just want to get more feedback. I recently bought a faded cherry Gibson V and I want to refinish it in white with a Gibson faded type finish. This was the V that I was going to just tung oil but I’ve decided to go balls deep on this one. What is the best way to...

I just got home and opened it up. I bought it used from MF and I can't tell that it has been used at all. It is in better shape than a lot of new guitars I've seen in stores. I haven't plugged it in yet. I have some homework I have to take care of tonight. Plus it needs a setup, so I'll have a...

I don't know why but I get an urge to put together a Fender style guitar. This coming from someone that only plays Gibson V's ^ l l l I was thinking something like this today. The black thinline body with cream binding would look awesome with a rosewood tele neck. Maybe someday I'll...

^ l l l Can you tell me about this finish? It is Tung Oil right? How does it compare durability wise to the original faded finish? How long did it take? I just picked up another faded V and want to do one of my single pickup configuration V’s with this style finish. All input is welcome. Thanks!

I'm looking for one of these. If anyone has one they want to get rid of or knows where to find one please let me know. Thanks

I spent most of the day today at NAMM ’11 and I wanted to take only 2 things home with me. 1st was this Hallmark Guitars Johnny Ramone signature guitar. I’m not normally a fan boy or like collectible stuff like this but it was a nice guitar and I’m a huge Ramones fan...

http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0141902338 The Classic Player Tele Deluxe Black Dove I like the way a Tele body looks with a strat neck. I need to play one of these.

Ok Gibson or Gibson style guitar players that own and play Fender or Fender Strat style guitars I need all the input I can get as to if I’m making the right decision or not. I was given an American Standard Strat neck the other day and I don’t know what to do with it. I’m thinking about making...
