@peebee It happens. I tend to put a layer or 2 of masking tape around the edges if the neck pocket template where the router bit bearing will ride. It makes for a super tight neck pocket. Sometimes to...

@darrenking, thanks for the offer of veneers, I’ll remember for next time, got some on order for now, very kind though.

@boo, I think this is what I’ll try as the gap is small and when I fit the neck on centre there is a gap both sides! Annoying but I suppose it was going to happen at some point! I am going to get some...

@rocknroller. Thanks for the reply, the template for the pocket is tapered and long so should fit somewhere along it’s length. I positioned and repositioned to make sure it was right.....but still the...

Hi Russ, I don’t think there are any major constructional changes to be made. It’s more a case of using it and seeing how it holds up to the kind of demands it is likely to face in the average home gu...

Hello Peeps, Can I ask if anyone knows what finish Fender use on the back of their necks to make them so smooth? Cheers, Russ 🎶🙂🎸🙏

Hi Fortunately here in the U.S. everyone seems to use the abundance of selections of quick dry sanding and clear coat lacquers, different viscosities. Prices range from cheap to expensive. I go c...

@tv101 Only on my fourth build (and My workshop is garden/kitchen table) but I really like this clear coat from Northwest; I've managed to get a couple of really nices finishes even when spraying in ...

@e-den-hertog Thanks, I think the way I’m going at the moment, I would batch spray a few guitars and necks so I could calculate how many cans I would need. So, with doing more than one job, 400ml cans...

Posted by: @ John L gave most of the answers ? Spraymax is available in 400 and 250 ml cans. I spray a light mist coat first and then max. 3 wet coats. 400 ml is too much for a guitar body, so I us...

@jonhodgson No probs, I think it’s important we are all here to help each other out with everything. I know what you mean about YouTube videos, most of them are American/Canadian and maybe some Austra...

I think between us all here in this forum we can come up with a short list of acceptable products to use. That's along the lines of what I was thinking when I asked the original question. There's a f...

If you want to use 2k, you are not limited to using Spray Max in rattle cans. I would say nearly every car body supplies now offers their own 2k clear in rattle cans. Fundamentally it’s all the same s...

I've never used this, but have heard some good reports (and seen some good results)

@darrenkingThat's a very interesting range (some of the text in the English descriptions is quite amusingly bad, but I can work out most of what they mean).Being in Spain is good, at least until the e...

Check out NitorLack ( Based in Spain, so shipping cost is very reasonable, and available in rattle cans or tins for compressor sprayers. Very impressed with the finish and sands and polishes beautiful...

I use Spray Max 2k and 1k rattle cans. How many cans do you find you need, and how long does the 2k remain useable? I know it starts going off as soon as you break the seal, but do you have to get al...

We use our CureUV system but realise it is prohibitively expensive... But it’s damn lovely especially the Matt ?

I did suggest to Crimson Guitars in an email last year that they should look at "I can't believe it's not lacquer" in the hope that they might choose to become an importer, but that's not happened yet...

Posted by: @markbailey We use our CureUV system but realise it is prohibitively expensive... The Solarez products look like a great solution for the home luthier Since they don't need specialist UV ...
