Prepping and painting the Jag.

It's all in the preparation and approach.

The Ash Stratocaster. Part Three. Shielding the body cavities.

Having worked on the finish, there's a point when work begins to prepare to make this project into an electric guitar.

The Ash Stratocaster. Part Two.

Time to catch up with the Ash Strat body, which has been curing nicely. Planning ahead. First look at fitting the body hardware.

Working on the Jaguar headstock

There's plenty to do. Let's start with some relatively easy stuff. Waterslide decals take me all the way back to the plastic construction kits of my childhood.

Hold the front page. Let’s make things complicated.

Let's get another project up and running. I always find it useful to have, at least, a couple of projects on the go at any one time.

The Ash Stratocaster. Part One.

Finishing the body with Crimson Guitars finishing oil. Keep rubbing the excess oil off, for the rest of the morning!

This is a chord. Here is another. Now go and build a guitar.

We all like a nice, new, shiny guitar. I just figure there's a lot to be said in making one yourself.
