Tonefull! yes i like that!!! A new word for the guitarmaking fraternity!! looks great!!!! nice woods & work! You may want to change your tuner position or headstock width so the strings do ride against the two E tuners!! keep up the great work!! mike ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up")

Looks good...can you tell us more about how you do the tru-oil finish? I've been thinking of trying the same... |

Tru-Oil is pretty easy to use and I was pleased with the shine after I used micromesh on it. First, I used z-poxy to fill the pores and as a sealer. Then, I put numerous coats (~10-12) of Tru-Oil on. You can put on more than one coat a day with about 3 hours in between coats. After several days of curing, I started with either 3200 or 3600 grit and went to 4000, 6000, 8000, and 12000. I tried it wet, which worked out well. Word of caution.... Don't go below 3200 (don't ask me how I know). The finish is not deep, but that is probably better from a sound perspective. You can't beat the ease of application. It is very forgiving and no spray equipment is required. With micromesh it shines up very nicely. |
