I think I'm going with the clear coat after all. I want it shiny. I did a ton of coats of yellow, so it's solid orange peel. Should I sand it smooth before I hit it with clear? (I hope the answer is yes, because I already started. :oops: )

Nut width. The original Super-Sonic neck was perfect. I have skinny little girl hands.

Except they reissued the Super-Sonic with the WRONG NECK. Yes, I'm still bitter about that.

I usually think 3 HB guitars are silly-looking, but that's a beauty. Nice score.

My acoustic is an Ovation Balladeer. I wouldn't say I love it (I still have yet to find an acoustic with a neck that actually feels good), but I certainly don't hate it, and most people hate Ovations. I'm learning to love my Mockingbird again too, now that I modded it enough to hold my interest for ...

Figures. Just a few minutes more googling, and I found this. So never mind, I guess. Now let's see how long it actually takes me to get around to doing it.

Trying to figure out how to wire this

I've got a Duncan Jazz and JB sitting around that I want to put in my Super-Sonic. The JB is 4-conductor, Jazz is 2-conductor, so the bridge pickup is splittable but the neck pickup is not (barring a somewhat risky mod). So what I'd end up with is 2 humbuckers, 2 volume controls, a push-pull coil sp...

I recently tried a GFS Dream 90 in the neck and Mean 90 in the bridge of one of my HH guitars. Then work got insane, but in the limited time I've actually had to play it, I've been liking it. That combination gives a nice balance of single coil tones and RAWK. They'll also fit a humbucker route, alt...

Sprayed too close on one coat and got a big drip running down the back. I thought I had it sanded out before I started spraying again, but not completely, it seems. I'll give it another couple of days, sand a little more, spray a little more? Worst case scenario, it's only noticeable when the light ...

Out of curiosity, what kind of interval should I have between coats? The Rustoleum can says I can do two coats per hour and/or leave 48 hours between coats. I want to get at least another two coats on there--probably more, since there are some thin spots around the edges and in the cutaways. What ki...

Got my first two coats of yellow on. Giving it a couple of days to dry now so I can sand out the spot where I picked a piece of dust off.

Got my first coat of primer on it. It's kind of stripey and uneven, but no drips, and I figure it will even out in a coat or two (if not, will someone yell at me now so I can start over?). How long should I wait between coats? http://bestnetworx.com/uploader/files/410/IMG_3161.JPG http://bestnetworx...

Thanks for the advice, all. I ended up getting a used Tascam US-144MKII. Haven't had much time to play around with it yet, but it works fine for mic input, which is really all I need it for, since I use the Digitech for dry guitar and bass. Latency is waaaay better than anything I was putting up wit...

It's just a Bronze Series Mockingbird. I was going to say you could probably snag one for next to nothing pretty easily--I bought mine for $100 off a friend of a friend when I was in high school--but it looks like they're going for at least twice that now. I'll see about doing a tracing. PM me. The ...

Yes it is. The problem turned out to be a ground wire I'd soldered sloppily. Thanks for your help.
