Here is my project guitar

[fett]

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MEWN:IT Here is my PS2 project. Here's what I have. The neck is in great condition, as is the Floyd (Missing the bar holder). The body is a whole other issue. This guy must have left it outside. It is dry as a bone and cracking up. Here is what I have done so far. I drilled holes in the cracks and dowled and glued. Every previously drilled hole has been drilled and plugged. I am going to leave it outside to get some of that Seattle dew on it to see if I can get some moisture back in it. Once I patch the dings, what should be my first layer of preparation? If there ever was a body to mess around with, this is it. Thanks [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

The part about leaving it outside to get some moisture back in it is totally the WRONG approach brother!!!! That's a good weathered and settled hunk of wood to work with. Leave it as-is, sand it down, use a good catylized primer-surfacer, and on to a new paint job. The worst thing you can do for it is to get it wet again.

Re: Here is my project guitar

I bought the whole set up for an active Mod 5. I also bought an EMG 81 and an 85. Here's what I want to do. I want to use the active part of the Mod 5; plug up the two single slots; and use the EMG 85 in the HUm slot. Will this work? [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]
