Yeah, this neck feels amazing... I brought it to my last gig to try on a few songs. I ended up playing it on probably 38 out of 45 songs for the night. I have to say... I did a damn fine job on this one.

Finish was Kustom Shop 2K Clear coat. The top is dyed and the back is Kustom Shop Black Cherry Candy base.

Right. When bursting you should not be using "paint", when mixing my own for lacquer, it's thinner and transtint dyes with just enough lacquer added to give it some viscosity and stick. (I tend to use urethane candy base coats from House of Kolor or Kustom Shop) If you have your color mixe...

Oh... and another thing you can do. For a super thin black burst around the edges. you can mask the top off completely before putting any color down. (I would roll the edges of the mask to ease the tape line.) then unmask and airbrush the thin black fade and then come back in with my jamb gun and sp...

Here's the chambering pattern that I used on my last thinline style tele... note that mine has a rear routed control cavity and is not a true thin line... more of a chambered guitar. http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr249/renegade900/Guitars/DexTele/IMAG0018.jpg A real thinline cavity looks like t...

Hot Dog fret ends... I like that name.

Thanks Shawn. I 'm a fan of your work...

Good CLEAN spray equipment... higher pressure, good atomization it's not that difficult I either do them with an airbrush and build the burst up slowly or with a conventional jamb gun and use a round pattern with the flow choked down. An HVLP is not the right gun for doing bursts. Say no to sanding ...

That's a real beauty Nathan. (except for the gold hardware... ...but that's just me) :mrgreen: I'm usually an Anti Gold Hardware guy myself, it was done at the customer's request... I even tried to talk him out of it. But now that it's done I think it was a good choice for this guitar, it's pretty ...

Where are you located... every region has nice figured timbers.

Ha, actually the guy that I built that guitar for asked for that to be inlaid. He has the same thing tattooed on his arm.

Here's a clip of the guitar in action.

Here's one that I built back in the fall. I don't think I posted pics of it here. It's got a chambered 1 piece Honduras Mahogany back, curly maple top and neck, ebony board. Wilkinson term, Schaller locking tuners, Dimarzio Air Classic Pickups, mother of pearl inlays. But swing as how I'm posting te...

I love a good telecaster and that's my guitar of choice. this looks great! but I gotta have a 6-way bridge, I just don't like the 3-way ones very much...but they do look vintage! Have you tried the Joe Barden bridge? The saddles are drilled and machined at funky angles and it into mates spot on. Fe...

After a round of Tele styled guitars for comissioners I decided that I'd take some of the leftovers and build a Tele style guitar for myself since I don't have a straight up tele of my own. Specs. Body: Swamp Ash Finish: Mary Kaye White (Target EM6000 Waterbourne Lacquer) Neck: Wenge Fingerboard: We...

How about a specific blueprint build (with license to appointments, e.g. Hardware, inlay, personalization items like headstock design.)... no more of the touchy feely, everyone can participate in their own way and everyone's a winner stuff. Luthierie Competition... Best Execution within the paramete...

It has really cut down on the time it takes me to carve a neck and I get really good control aresults from it. Count me as a fan.

Looks great... Love Korina... My go to guitar is an all Korina Super strat type notes just bloom from it.

Awesome to see MIMMF up to snuff with tech. Please add Forum Runner support too... Makes mobile use much better to use a good app like Forum Runner
