Hey All!
I'm just getting into designing and building solid body electric guitars. Climbing the massive learning curve of use of woodworking tools, making jigs, finishes, etc...
I work in 3/4 of a tiny garage with some tools I inherited.
I use;
100 year old reclaimed pine for bodies,
Danish oil, hand rubbed stains,
Timbamate filler/sealer,
Probably going to use shellac top coats depending on the advice I get here...
Looking forward to comments and advice when I post some builds.
Cheers.
G'day RS and welcome to the forums!:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

Welcome to the forum.
Thanks guys.
Here's a pic of one of my first geetars;
I don't know how to "upload from a URL", all my pics are on my desktop.
I guess you have used it quite a bit. Nice.
Nope. It's brand new, finished about 2 weeks ago.
But it's made from 100 year old reclaimed pine and I try to embrace all that age and character, so hopefully it still looks about 100 years old.
Well you have done that.Quote:

Heh heh...
Don't get me wrong, I'm well aware the build quality is pretty poor but this is my first guitar.
I like to think that despite that, the idea behind it has a bit more integrity than faking a relic though...
Looking forward to the reactions to that one....
It is the way that you have presented this. It comes across as a well used guitar and if that is what you were after you have done that very well.Quote:
