Re: No turning back!

Re: No turning back!

Thanks guys! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] I'm refinishing a pearl white (faded) Rhoads. Main tool is a stanley blade. Does a perfect job scraping off the paint. Very smooth. No wood gets touched. I was afraid the bindings was a problem, but it goes very well. It takes forever - i cleared the neck and headstock and bindings in 3-4 hours time.

Neck and headstock (back) will be tung oiled and the body painted snow white, maybe with some black pinstriping or graphics. White pups + rings (bridge=hum + neck=single coil) , chrome OFR (that's what i got). It's gonna be rear routed, so it will have a clean front. I think it will be killer!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">LOL! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] You were broke last time we spoke.

I am not fuckin' with it - i am gently caressing it with a knife and i'm good at it too! I think it will come out bad ass - but maybe not to your liking, eh?

I think the rear routing will be the most difficult about this. Haven't yet come up with a good way of filling the front cavity.

Re: No turning back!

When you oil that neck-it is going to look like a butcher's block! and what is that weird piece at the neck joint? It looks like another piece of wood was grafted into the joint. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Re: No turning back!

Looks like a scarf joint.I don't know if I could have done that those fernandes copys are moving up in price as of late, truly fine guitars in my book.I have a black 84 strathead fenandes that kicks ass.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">that's a standard neckthru joint; many neckthru guitars are like that. (yes, even jacksons! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] )
