Just a standard 1-3/4hp will work. The key is taking small bites with a sharp bit. I never predrill with a forstner bit as I don't like to take...
About 40,000 miles if not changed regularly. [emoji2957] (In case you weren't joking with your question, I was about pennzoil) Eric
Jvin248 is right on tungoil, true oil, poly. When I say oil I mean a type that seals the surface. Nitro also makes an excellent neck finish...
Leaving it bare will not end well over years. Even if you use an oil of some sort it needs to be sealed to avoid issues down the road. Eric
To the OP, why not get what you want built by a custom builder? Superior quality all the stuff being pumping out like gumballs by Fender from...
Gotoh treme is my go to on my [ATTACH] builds. The quality and finish is excellent. They are very common on the best of customs. If someone wants...
Bursts aren't difficult, but they do take practice. Spray cans do present a challenge but still doable. I spray a lot though so without experience...
It feels like I have skipped some steps in my photography. I am sure you all know the game and if you don't ask away. I use nitro lacquer...
Before pickups I would try a few things. A simple free try is lowering the treble side of the pups a bit and see what it does. How do you like...
That is correct. But, since I do a 2 step process I usually one use 2 different radius cauls on the first run to primarily press in the outer fret...
Good question. I should add first that I use straight grain for necks as their smaller mass is prone for twisting with non uniform grain. Two...
You are correct. Actually in my time the straight perfect uniform pattern grain boards were desirable. All the rest was thrown away. There is no...
No, I buy it in bulk, nickel medium jumbo. Precuts are impossible to use for a compound radius board. In addition, I over radius my fret wire a...
I forgot to mention I went ahead and routed a bathtub route to give some pup options. The figure on this one is too nice to cover up but I added...
Haha, I build continually so don't feel too bad. Eric
I use a jig I stole the design from Ron Kirn on that gets aligned with the trem routes and is sized to the neck width. All the routes are done. I...
Before running figured wood thru the planer, I have learned to wet the wood face by wiping it with water before each pass to soften the fibers. It...
I build all the time but figured I would share one with a fun piece of wood. Ambrosia spaulted maple body, curly maple neck. A few other bodies...
Welcome to the addiction! Good work. The primary need is to make sure the neck pocket angle lines up with the trem route. Look forward to seeing...
Any stain of your color choice. It really depends on what your desired end result is. Stain goes on bare wood before tung oil. Be cautious with...
I or any of the recipients of any strats that I build have an issue staying in pitch after a bend or trem use. There are 4 primary areas in my...
Great job! Thanks for sharing! Eric
I will echo that Ron has been a infinite source of freely shared wisdom to myself and many other who got into building from his influence and...
Umm, add that up to a guy who thinks he knows what he don't know. [emoji848] Then go home and play your guitar you enjoy knowing you own it & not...
How high have you tried raising it? Without pics or measurements it is hard to say if you are even close to where it can be. If too high it will...
