Hey John - please don't throw it in the bin! At least try the turnip method first ... ? (don't)

Bass-tastic - Glad to help!

During a hiatus in my acoustic build I thought I'd try my hand at 34" scale, bolt-on neck bass. Here's what happened... Full scale drawing, a book-matched maple top from Surrey Timbers and piece of ma...

Cheers John - That's the plan!

Folks, I need to make another set of clamps. The first ones I made worked OK for a while but began to split. I only had a mahogany style of wood knocking around at the time. What kind of easily availa...

I've never used Liberon Sanding Sealer - I suggest you do a test before risking the guitar - It will probably be OK as long as it is well dry.

What Are Rep Points? Rep points are similar to HERO points except - Rep points cannot be spent in the shop How Do I Get Rep Points? You can earn Rep points by taking courses, making posts, uploading p...

Its generally not a good idea to mix different types of finish - but if you do a test and it works then why not? I personally do not have a lot of experience with 2k (two pack) but for non porous wood...
