    I have modified, built bodies, and refinished electric guitars for years......and when you first
    said "I will use my furniture refinishing skills to do the job" I thought .....oh nooooo ! ......
    but overall you've really done a decent job ! Strangely I kinda like the look of the stripped
    body just before you sprayed on the undercoat .......might have used that myself with a
    transparent slightly amber finish over top of the 'rustic' rough wood ......but that's me ....

I would have never thought about making those kerf linings. Not to mention how to get them inside the bass body. Simply brilliant. You have taken your skills to the next level.
    I would have taken the easy way out and would have converted that hole into a rectangle. But, what do I know?

    Nice work so far! Pro tip for hole patching; put clear packing tape over the hole, trace the hole with a fine point marker, remove tape and stick it to some 4mm MDF (or similar), cut tracing with scroll saw. You now have a rigid template of the hole which, with an exacto knife, can be used to cut your veneer patches. Ask me how I know! 😉

    I admire your guts for entering this field of craftsmanship. As always, your methods are "down to earth" and without any snobbery. This may not be the most perfect way, but it certainly is better than not trying or being afraid of doing it. BTW, the types of glue have little or no effect on the sound. After all it is an electrical base guitar, though I would not recommend these methods when restoring a high end acoustic instrument. But I am pretty sure you know that yourself.

    Over the years, I have acquired a couple of dozen electric guitars at very low prices because a prior owner had developed big plans for a guitar, stripped it, realized they were in over their heads, and given up. I have managed to bring every one of those guitars to better than new condition.
    Building, repairing, and modifying electric guitars is not rocket science. While I recommend that people avoid tackling a rare or expensive guitar as a first project, the narrator does an excellent job of showing what can be done with some basic skills and willingness to tackle a project.

      @@DashnerDesignRestoration the white paint wouldn't effect the tone, but I'm confused as to why you'd paint before finishing the wood considering you said the previous paint had sunk into the grain. Wouldn't it be a better finish to really sand it (much finer grit), grain fill it (since it sunk in last time), sanding that back (even finer), and then giving it the first coat? Just concerned that it'll be a pain to get a really good finish on a rough, spongey surface. On the other hand, the constant sanding for a guitar is a real pain in the bum for a casual project.

    • @DashnerDesignRestoration
      @DashnerDesignRestoration  Рік тому +10

      @matt lang I painted it before filling the grain because the mottled color of the unpainted wood made it too difficult to see the imperfections that needed to be filled. Having it all one color made it a lot easier to pick out the imperfections that needed to be fixed. Since I uploaded this video, I've grain filled it and now have a nice smooth finish for the color coat.
