I don’t think Vantablack is robust enough to use on a guitar from what I’ve read.

@boo yeah but it’d look awesome until manhandled though 🙂

@boo I think the hundreds of thousands you have to pay to get a license to use Vanta Black (not to mention that it has some very special application method) probably makes how hard wearing it is rather moot.I think…   Read more»

@boo there are several reasons for fanned frets (also known as multiscale or compound scale).They vary between tonal and ergonomic.Tonally, scale length makes a difference, given the same gauges of strings longer scale lengths tend to favour the bass, making…   Read more»

I know you’re going to paint it @boo but I was thinking that the mismatch of the grain on the headstock would seep through… but I guess that you know what you’re doing, right? 🤷🏼‍♂️ 

Coming along nicely there @boo. 👍

@boo i could just send you a bag of saw dust and wood chips if you like?😉

I got these recently for my angle grinder, one concave, one convex. 😁 Fun times

@boo thank you for posting those, really helpful to see!

Nice work @Boo! I had to do a similar repair a few days ago too, placed my bridge in the wrong spot.. I never learn 🤣
