mickhardup

that's kind of you to say so thanks, I wired it up to fast I didn't think to hard about it I was like a kid with a new toy, you know what it like,

good evening all had a look at the lacquer today (impatient) and decided it was hard enough to work on so I put it back together, have a couple of issues like I cocked up the wiring, the tone is like another volume I must of put a wire wear it shouldn't be ill check it out later, I have to fit a black jack socket when it comes so ill check the wiring then. On the hole I am very pleased how it turned out sounds luvly with them flats on don't know about the tone lol,

go on get one

you do like your checks don't you

you must of read my thoughts, I thought it would look bute ford st orange with black hardware

that's really kind thank you but I haven't got any thing to print yet. I just printed my name to see if it worked well you know the outcome of that LOL, I am sure my neighbour has a printer he is the kind of bloke who has all the top tech, thanks again for the offer

that's my problem I never read the instructions

yea got it I think its a inkjet and I assume I need a laser printer

Good afternoon, PHEW bloody hot innit, can any body put me right, I had a go at a Sellotape logo today all went perfect up to the water part the paper was peeling off ok but the ink started to come off as well, on all the vids I have seen on youtube never say you have to have special ink am I missing something ?

I ought to do you under copyright laws using an image of my missis without her permission LOL. but I suppose I would have to sue 98% of wales.

I have bought a set of flatwounds but I could have a look for them thanks for the info.

well that's another thing to think about I was going for satin but now i'm thinking gloss because I do like shinny things

I know all those thoughts went through my tiny brain as well but I don't have a white one so that won.

yea go on every one should have one, I wanted one for ages and the only way was to have a go myself, judging on the quality of your last build it would be luverly

Thanks, I was thinking it might be a bit gaudy when I started doing it but I think it looks ok, the missis said it matches the wallpaper LOL.

Thanks a lot .

put the guitar together today just a mock-up to make sure everything fitted and I was pleasantly surprized that it all fitted ok, the pups were a bit tight and I think I will need a little shim in the neck pocket or sand a bit of the bottom depends on how lazy I feel, I will take it apart tomorrow and try to get a coat of lacquer on it. got to put another hanger on the wall now.

Spent a little time out in the shed today managed to clean the binding up makes the body look a lot whiter, i'll go out tomorrow and look for some lacquer and try and get it finished this week and then start putting it together fingers crossed. I have looked for some strings but the black tape wound are just to expensive for me if I could play bass I could justify buying them but I have found some fender flat wounds on line for 23 quid, I am fitting a jazz neck so what gauge strings would be best ?

I am so jealous I cant even cut a piece of 2x2 strait, love them guitars.

and me that's too much for me just to hang on the wall, not called mickhardup for nothing. LOL

luvly thanks

I hope you can help me don't laugh I don't know anything about strings I have seen basses with black strings on, I am thinking they are tapewound ? do you use the same gauge as normal strings ?

morning, don't know what wood it is probably pine or spruce maybe who knows its got a ce mark so its ethically sourced LOL.

luvly guitar, were did you get the black jack socket from ? I could not find one on ebay or perhaps I didn't look very well
