Custom Guitar Update

Custom Build Update

9/25/2018

Progress on the custom guitar slowed a bit as I was having issues with my spray guns, but I have fixed the problem and moved forward. After a few more coats of nitrocellulose lacquer, it was time for sanding. I started to level the surface with 320 grit sandpaper then 600 and finally 1500. I have to wait a few more days for the finish to harden then I'll be able to buff the body to a shine. The neck is getting the same treatment and is still a few days behind the body. If all goes to plan, I'll be gluing the neck to the body next week... I'm excited!

The pictures below show the body sanded to 600 grit.

And these pictures show the body sanded to 1500 grit.

I am not a blind believer, I believe in God because I want to. Faith is not something that we can quantify, that is all that I have to say. I mean, there are people who do not get the idea of it, and I hate it. This blog of yours is one that I am most happy about. I think that it is only a matter of time before we can go and life our life for the Lord.

My name is Robert Brooks, and I'm the guitar doctor around here. I love the fact that I can take an old guitar that others have given up on and restore it to sound even better than it did brand new. From time to time, I'll invite you to follow my process on this page.
