looks like one of the amazon vendors that ive used in the past is stocking some models here in the states (prime) https://www.amazon.com/Guitar-Tuning-Machine-Chrome-Locking/dp/B00ESAEUOU/ref=sr_1_42?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1474382938&sr=1-42&keywords=Locking+Guitar++Tuners...

I know, left myself open for a joke, or 2 ANyway, located in central florida. We have lots of wet, yellow knotty pine, otherwise not much available. But I do notice that there seem to be 2 types of suppliers online. 1) they have GREAT looking wood at decent prices, but they are all cut for pen blank...

nice, I just got a good piece of black walnut from NC that I'm going to use for some necks.

WOW

'nuff said

Ive used them on 4 different guitars and like them a lot. I can say that they are pretty much exactly like one of the emay vendors. However, the amazon vendor, whose name is right on the tip of my tongue I just cant get it. is a few $ cheaper, but it takes no LESS than 14 days from the time of your ...

sacha those are AMAZING! I love the work, and the whole steampunk/diy feel is great. did you do the metal work yourself? is that a B bender at the back? Ever thought of creating your own Brian May style authentic TREM? I want to build a Red Special as authentic as I can but the only guy (in the worl...

WOW I am amzed, and you answered MY questions, which would have been, in your restoration do you plan on stripping it down to bare wood or just trying to do a physical repair. what did you do to remove the original finish? I have found guitars from the 60's have their finish so bonded to the wood th...

just an FYI, I have ordered that same wiring harness from amazon (I have a prime membership so why not right?) 1) they are the smaller knock off pots 2) the soldering is good the wiring is a little on the thin side 3) the runs are a good length so you may have extra wire coiled in the body 4) MOST I...

I havent bought anything from GFS's luthier page, but I have bought MANY items from their factory clearence and have been very pleased with my results

I get to experiment a lot and very cheaply as well!

believe it or not THIS is where craigs list came in handy for me. I have a firend who was wanting to learn to build, BUT we know our temperments well enough to know that we could not be teacher and student. So I did a few things on CL. 1) I took out an ad asking for a guitar builder. in the ad I was...

Eric I really appreciate all the suggestions, I think I'll try the 2k on my next strat-o-tele, I hoped it would be ready tomorrow, but its been so wet everything iaking a REALLY long time to set

Eric,

Is this the SPraymax product you were talking about? It looks like they have several different kinds.

Eric, thanks for that recommendation, I hope to be ready for a clear coat this weekend, maybe I'll give that a shot!

well ok, that certainly sounds reasonable, because most of the forums have said HF's guns are ok.

thanks

EB See thats interesting on another forum, who shall remain nameless, but deals primarily in fenders 1st guitar, they all recommended that for a decent compresser 6+CFM at 90PSI +/- 30gal so far I havent been able to find a compressor ike that in the $100 range. HOWEVER, if you guys know of one I'm ...

well thanks for the ideas.

thats why I asked!

save some aggrevation if not $

Team, New to the forum, rather new to building (2 years 5 guitars 2 amps). Most of my finishes have been hand applied, typically transtint, hand rubbed all the way to the clear. HOWEVER, many of my favorite 'commercial' finished are sprayed on. I spoke w/ a guy in my area who makes probably 15 - 20 ...
