@clinton Yes a rubber eraser is a great thing to use as a sanding block, sometimes you need a bit of flexibility (literally). Various grades of sandin...

@tv101 Doing a spray job is the easy bit. Treat the preparation work and the paintwork as separate jobs. In Guitar building we have various type...

@tv101 That’s it, you just have to accept that it’s a long and drawn out process that is repetitive and tedious. What makes it bearable is the quality...

@koendb Yeah, that kind of thing. So long as it is a two part filler, it has a hardener (catalyst). 👍 This is the one I use.

@koendb Where abouts in the world do you reside? I’m just wondering what products will be available to you compared to me here in Blighty (the UK).

@koendb Sometimes if I want to do something much faster, I will use a two part filler, this dries by chemical reaction instead of air drying, you can ...

@koendb Your guitar is looking great by the way. Sanding and finitting is tedious and more difficult than expected sometimes. At least when a guitar i...

@koendb Short answer: Yes, sort them all out now. 👍 Long answer: Yes, you must fix these imperfections now before you go any further or you will s...

@deej Deer deer 😝

Heroes by Lake Domain (Cam Cooper) is the best song I’ve heard whilst learning a few new licks from this man who is less than half my age.

@rocknroller912 Thank you. I could paint the existing plate that I took off, I don’t know, it might look good but I’ve filled the screw holes in now t...

@mattbeels I think because it is a bass, there is a lot of space, especially as I’m not putting the scratch plate back on. All that space needs breaki...

@russ Yeah, it’s all subjective isn’t it? I’ve got some hyper shift paint to try next.
