| 1299496 | 2012-09-10 11:57:00 | Eventually got around to posting a sorry pic of my desk. Been busy with a design and photography portfolio, musical performance and Art History essays. Good stuff is Level 3. Seems strange but it looks a lot tidier in the pic than real life :p 4239 Cameras have moved on a little these days.;) |

I usually try to get 6-10 coats of color after the required number of primer applications then all of it followed with about another 10-15 coats of clear polyurethane. Up until the Gibson replacement body that I built, that has been a great formula, but this time I was using an untried catalyzed primer made for marine applications. I've used the same name-brand-spec paints before, but never their primers - so that may be the mitigating factor here. Nice :) Do you do Acoustic guitars? Acoustics are a different animal, and as yet I haven't built one although I've repaired a lot in that design. Right now I've got a bridge to reattach and relieve the upwelling on the face from someone putting standard steel strings on a classical guitar that is designed for nylon/classic composite strings. I like working on them and in the near future I'll attempt a full-on build - but not right yet. I've been doing fret leveling jobs and neck repairs, and frankly they are easier but more delicate items on which to work; I have to use soft hammers. |

Certainly sounds like the primer as when I mentioned about the paint being too thick I meant as in one coat going on too thickly. |

Haha, I put some steel strings on my $50 guitar which was meant to be used with nylon strings. I knew you aren't meant to do it , but I was bored and the guitar tuning peg was broken anyway, so went ahead. Super hard to turn the tuning pegs with metal strings - and with the broken peg, I had to use a wrench to turn it! Next day the neck was slightly bent and the bridge came out a bit! Probably sounded better than nylon strings though ! :D |
