After seeing this sparkle. I might do a metal flake - maybe a flake burst? Making necks is all about tools - a few key tools make it much easier. Luckily, Matt has decided he wants to have those tools! —"You can't tell where you're going if you don't know where you've been" |

Indeed Wes. Here is a pix of the original in 1965. The new boat has been painted in the the same color scheme, the new one is classic Corvette yellow. It is currently wrapped up or I'd go out and take a picture. I'm currently building up a lower unit with a different gear ratio. When done I'll take it back to the lake. ed

Thanks for the kind words guys. And hey Mike, in retirement, all things are possible. I do have a couple of Richard's blonde amps on the bench that I absolutely, positively need to get done.....and soon. Chris with that grain you should do the translucent blonde finish. ed —Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps? |

See? Never mind the boats; I would never have thought of building a neck. To many things to screw up with these tight tolerances. Nothing you can hide behind a coat of heavy epoxy. Flakes are my favorite. Make sure you get the big ones!

Hey G-man, that looks pretty flakey from here. Just kidding you. I like that that. Kind of lake placid blue on steroids. I may build boats but I sure can't paint them, or paint anything. I hate paint and anything that has to do with paint. Did I mention that I have a strong dislike for painting? No, I didn't paint the new boat. I paid someone else to cob it up. ed —Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps? |

That thing is cute. Although they will do more, I always thought of them as one of the quintessential R&R rhythm guitars —Wes DISCLAIMER: The above is opinion/suggestion only & should not be used for mission planning/navigation, tweaking of instruments, beverage selection, or wardrobe choices. |

Lovely looking Jazzmaster Ludo. Shame about paint but it happens to the best paint sprayers. I think maybe paint skin is drying too quickly leaving wetness underneath. Only undercoat is porous so drying by heat would be futile. Some people use acetone on bare wood to clean any contamination before undercoat. Otherwise I send congratulations on another fine Ludo creation. |

Thanks for the paint i have done like it was said but i think i will have must wait more to be sure for drying under varnish , the window to recover is short if you want the varnish to grip on paint and normally if the paint is dry you have to sand it to recover Last edited: Jun 11, 2018 09:47:26 |

Maybe some fine mesh you find at the garden centre would help? I've heard some places in America have swarms of micro sized bugs during the summer and folks seal doors and windows with a super fine mesh to keep them out. I'm not sure what it's called though. |

Need a little Pignose or something riding in the rack on the back of the cart, maybe for when the course is backed up. Gives "playing through" a whole new meaning.
