  • project questions, HELP!

    Ok, I dont know if this is in the right place of not, so if not can someone move it where it should be. Im getting ready to undertake a new project guitar and need some advice and have a few questions.

    First, the body
    and the neck

    I found the body after reading one of the good Dr. Newc's posts in the e-fraid section and decided to undertake the task of building this one. Im having the body routed for a second pickup and going to finish in a trans blue.

    Here are my questions. First, can I install a roller nut on this neck and if so, what is the best kind to get. Second, what would be the best type of finishing dyes to use and where can I order them. Also if anyone has any gold hardware they arent using PM me and I may try to take it off your hands.

    Thanks.

    Hmmm..

    Warmoth will rout for the roller nut if you buy it from them, along with the neck. They sell LSR, great nut.

    Stew-Mac has all the paints, stains, dyes you need.

    That should help a little I hope.

          That'll be killer. Of course you'll dye the headstock to match?

                I guess Ive gotten away with as many typos as Racer will allow. Nice to see he catchs everyone.

                        I love the new resources section, I made this tonight. It is kind of what I am looking for in this new project guitar. Thanks admins!
