That was really good work. I have a guitar i'd like to try buffing out. Nice job on the video too.congrats on the guitar.

I'm not going to do any kind of re-finishing on the back of the body or the headstock....if the headstock holds, it will be "beater" or "bastard child" if you will....

 

it will look good from the front and will burn the retinas out of your eyes when you flip it over :icon_smile:

I love that idea Brent, those battle scars look hard earned, no reason to hide them. Chicks dig scars right?

My father taught me to repair gun stocks in the same fashion.

Cool! I replaced the stock on one of my Marlins that I inherited from my grandfather, required a lot of shaping and sanding, never though to try to save the broken stock. I'ts a beautiful peice of mahagony though!

Gun stocks and stock repairs are probably right at the same price point as guitar necks and repairs, some very expensive woods sometimes used in guns.

Brent that looks fantastic!!

 

I think you should buff the rest of the gtr too

 

those early 150's are killer, I especially like the dark rosewood fretboards

Would Elmers Wood Glue work as well at Titebond glue?

Great job & this was an excellent forum post... I can practically hear some heavy tunes seeping from that one...

Elmers used to be the standard for woodworking when I got started in the hobby in the 70's. I think titebond is a bit stronger. Not to hijack, but there's nothing but titebond holding this together:

Of course it doesn't have a flame maple top like Brents.......

Thats a nice amp stand. Did you build it?

Sure did. I like to work with wood in my spare time. I just wish I had more spare time.
