    The burst color on the edges looks almost like a cherry cola color. I's said it before and I'll say it again Red and shades of red are not my favorite colors but I have to say it is looking good on this guitar Todd. Would like i if Tornelli would put out a few more videos. I keep checking but he doesn't post as often as you and other channels do. There are a few other guitar builders I followed back during the GGBO 2022 build and I have subscribed to that have not posted anything for over a year now. I hope they are still building.

    • @SweetTGuitars
      @SweetTGuitars  9 місяців тому

      Mine either brother but I really wanted something dark that would accent the top and I also needed a "fix" for the staining on the poplar! This is the result of that! I'm glad you can overloom the red😁 it's a Nissan color called Rosewood Pearl and you're right, it does look like cola! ✌️&💙

    Hey Todd, Wow, that finish is awesome… seriously.
    The one thing that really impresses me is how exacting you are, it’s not about getting it done, but getting it done right and that shows in every video.
    Carry on brother.

    • @SweetTGuitars
      @SweetTGuitars  9 місяців тому +1

      It boils down to patience I think. I have finally settled on this method for gloss. I bought the buffer with the buffing wheels on it but I feel like I get a better result with the little pad on the drill? I will still use the buffer for oil finish and other things but when it comes to gloss finish 2k or nitro. This is my method. I'm glad you like it brother and thank you as always for your support✌️&💙

    Rock on brother! 🤘

    @Cliff-Evans 9 місяців тому +1

    Your patince and attention to detail is second to none. This guitar already looks good! Personally, I am not a big fan of "shiny", much prefer a satin finish but, I think in this case it will look great no matter what the finish is. Peace and love my friend.

  • @borgonianevolution
    @borgonianevolution 9 місяців тому +1

    Watchin this makes me think I want to tear down that Les Paul and hit it with another round of clear. specially after I had to fill in the pick up ring screw holes so I could re-drill for the new rings that were slightly different than the originals. Then get one of those wheels instead of hand rubbing it all again. Seems like that brings it up faster and more evenly. That top looks just as nice as I imagined it would after first seeing it. Great work once again sir!

    @yellowcat1310 9 місяців тому +1

    well, i think that the holes for the string through bridge are perfect. i mention them because i just got done drilling them on a guitar i'm building and i destroyed the thing. ok, maybe that's a little melodramatic but i messed them up on the back and now i'm making a copper plate to use in place of the string ferrules. i have a copper pickguard and it looks great so maybe i can cover my chip out with this little plate and make it work. i'm going to wait till tomorrow to drill the holes, then i have to bend the holes down. i don't think i said that right. i'll have to put it over a little hole on a piece of steel and use a punch to indent them so the ball end of the string will recess into the body.
    seems i saw you using some kind of gauge for those holes? either i ineed one or i need to only get top load bridges. lol.😽

    1 I have no idea of the equivalency between Scotchbrite and abrasive paper grits? Similar with ‘wire wool’s y’know 000, 0000 where other people use and recommend those. I may not actually want to use them myself, but the knowledge that say 0000 = xxxx grit is useful should I just want to use paper.
    Super assailed seems pretty expensive stuff. Is there anything more budget friendly that’ll do a decent job for say Osmo or other oil finishes?

    Question for you, why 2k clear over Nitro? Is it because Nitro clear expensive & harder to shine?
    Loved the tip keeping the clear thin not looking & feeling like plastic 👍

    looks good! question when you were flat sanding the back you used 1000grit on hard pad, then went down to an 800 on a soft pad why a lower grit on edges? - Cheers from Canada
