Re: Bulls Eye Shellac

Paul - I would go with a wipe on varnish and, as you say, there are plenty of tutes out there, You can modify/tweek the custom stuff (Wattyl, Cabots etc) to your heart's desire - advice aplenty on that too.

Re: The Cheap Bastard $7.75 Faux K&K install

Just a thought here people. Playing with this stuff for your own builds is fantastic - sort of amateur R&D - but on a punter's instrument having receipts from let's say K and K and Fishman could save a heap of grief down the road. Do not not do it but please cover your arse by telling the punter wha...

Mottola and Tilman have piezo preamp schematics and cyberferal.com has tone and volume schematic. Mix and match and play around with resistors and capacitors for whatever.

Re: Santa Cruz Guitar Statement

I recall input from some for whom I have high regard in terms of neck/body work but I think they were basing it on leckies. Really no different in the final call but. Their call was bolt on by a frag from neck-through with set neck a relatively distant third. Those guys built/build and play up in th...

Re: Paint Stripper

Paint stripper may have developed since I last used it about 20 years ago but from lessons learnt then I would not have it anywhere near a piece of wood I had regard for.
In this situation I would be looking at room temperature scraping or sanding.

Re: What is wrong with this Martin Guitar

No 'major' name will intentionally sell a second.
If defects are noticed the instrument will be degraded and sloughed off through a clearing house process whereby the instrument gets another name.
