building my first guitar

Re: building my first guitar

I have a friend who uses magnets to keep his truss rod covers on too. Magnets are awesome for covers!
 
Re: building my first guitar

Well guys, spent some time today sanding and shaping the neck heel, I didn't want to take too much off just wanted a nice transition



 
Re: building my first guitar

Did a dark grain fill and started sanding, gonna finish sanding tomorrow then start stain



 
Re: building my first guitar

That dark grain fill is a good idea. The grain pattern really pops. Looking forward to the finish coats.
 
Re: building my first guitar

I'm thinking of doing the neck through part in trans black and the rest in trans blue and with the dark grain and black hardware I think it should look good
 
Re: building my first guitar

Ok guys I need help, I stained the guitar but I lost all the grain filler I did.....what should I do now? Should I seal it then grain fill again? Or grain fill again and order the stew macs color lacquer? I'm stuck.....

 
Re: building my first guitar

Well I got a damp cloth and started rubbing some of the color off then I grain filled again , I think the cloth I used to stain was too rough and just took the filler out so I will pay closer attention next round.....
 
Re: building my first guitar

BOOM!!!!!!! Got it stained and now I'm happy with it. Gonna let it sit over night and start the sanding sealer lacquer
