NEWMAN60 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Not sure, but if there's any likelihood of him wanting to pass on it, I'm calling dibs and you can make that satin, please. Really wishing the custom checked Cali had come with a satin neck. Id'n that what 0000 steel wool is for? You can always buff it back out to shiny if you go easy with the steel wool. Not the same. Steel wool has oils in it. Plus take a nine volt battery and stick the leads into it and see what happens. Bm Dear Jackass,Do not tell people to touch 9 volt batteries to steel wool,I just burned my house down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drugs first, then beer, guitars, amps, pedals, tapes of early jams, junk food, pets, hookers, then kids. Bm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackass Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Also, don't put a 9-volt in a battery box in a guitar, then twist the red and black ends together to feed it down a narrow hole, then forget to untwist the ends. I almost melted a Vector custom order doing that.Bm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northfield Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I'm solo today. First level the Chap. Those guys are ready for color a little bit af a fretting adjustment and on to leveling . Thanks to Newman's perfect crafstmanship that he does, very little leveling is needed, and no crowning of the frets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
