Just a quick question about glues and stuff.<br>I'm having trouble glueing a scarf joint for the neck/headstock area. I'm using Titebond Original and the...
Not to worry, I have kind of answered my own quesiton. I think it might have been a mixture of being too cold and not allowing the tiebond enough time to fully...
Yes, the glue needed more time. Titebond, being a water-based glue needs to dehydrate to bond. A soft wood would have soaked the water from the glue very...
yes, that seems to be the answer, thanks.<br>The wood is very dense, much more so than some newer Brazilian I have used. It is nice wood, but its a bit more ...
Ok Regaro, that's what we need around here, a little enthusiasm. Let's see your guitars (or your workshop.) <br><br>Do I really look fat in my profile pic?...
Regaro<br><br>Hhmm....Let's talk about boring...Did anyone ever tell you that writing in large caps is considered screaming on the Net? Your inital message...
Hi pleased to join the club.<br>I'm a UK based guitar builder & repairer<br>I've been posting a lot on another Yahoo club : Tim's guitar tech talk and have...
Jonathon<br><br>Beautiful guitars! and welcome to the club. At the same time that I checked out your units, I looked at all the other pictures in our photo ...
Does anyone know of a guitar using a sound post? Violins use them under the treble side of the bridge, connecting the soundboard to the instrument's back. They...
well excuse me! But seriously folks...I'm just frustrated... I never really wanted to make guitars, my alcoholic buddy helped me get into the situation. he...
and about my true trace, which I love. It's three-dimensional by the way. I could send a picture of that also if anyone is interested... she's totally cool!...
Regaro<br><br>Regardless of what I stated in my last message to you, I have read your last few posts and took the time to look at you guitars. Your newest ...
That's quite a story. Certainly not boring. <br><br>Getting into the guitar making business can be tough, even if you're good at it, which you evidently are....
Hello. Could someone tell me where to find guitar parts or kits at reasonable prices? Also, what do I use to protect the finish on my guitar once it is built? ...

I tried to find out more about this nitrocellulose laquer at Lycos and on one of the pages I was told to let a pro do it because it is very dangerous stuff and...
as far as i know, nitrocellulose laquer is the same as automotive spray, therefore I would suspect that whoever told you to let a pro do it, was probably a pro...
Acrylic and lacquer can't be used together. If you want to use artist's acrylics, you should put finish coats of clear acrylic on top of that. You can probably...
One thing that nobody has mentioned, if you are spraying an opened pored wood, like mahogany you will need to close them with either sanding sealer or filler, ...
Hey this is cool, I'm in a few other clubs and none of them have given me great feedback, on this subject, like this one. I am glad I joined!<br><br>Rock...
What kind of distortion pedal can I get to give me that rock sound? I have a small Fender practice amp that has a distortion knob, yet for whatever reason I...
If you go to their website www.electroharmoninx.com you can hear the big muff for yourself.<br>As far as I know distortion does not harm the cone of the amp,...
I just thought of something else. If spraying is a problem for you, think about using gel finish. It's the easiest way to get a nice semi-gloss finish. Just...
Thanksfor the response! I'll check out electroharmoninx.com. Though since I'd be hearing the muff through the speakers on my computer, I'm not sure how good it...
I've used regular wood finishes before because my family has a history of furniture refinishing. I could do a regular wood finish on a guitar the same I ...
