very nice job sanding and re-spraying the body.. really turned out great.. a mirror gloss finish on a white body really pops.. and with the black guard.. will look fantastic.. still crossing my fingers that that neck behaves over time.. lol
Thanks, I'm really pleased I took the time to fix the paint up. I'm thinking if anything over time the string tension will pull the neck forward and I can control that with the truss rod, fingers crossed!
Thanks Dane, I'm really pleased with the finish. There's a lot of practice in that soldering :) My first efforts look like I'd flicked it across the room at the pots :)
As an electrician, I'm always surprised how many people consider this stage as "witchcraft " It's the bloody woodworking that's witchcraft ........ish....yeah it is!
Guitar wiring hasn't changed much in the last 40 years. Lift (elevator) control systems in the mid-80s had bundles of long cables and numerous solenoid switches, taking up a cabinet as large as a two-door wardrobe. Today, it's so different! But guitars are pretty much wired the same way now as they were back then. I've wondered why, but can't really think of a good reason.
For me it's musicians sticking with what they know works and is easy to fix. When I played in bands I was always very keen to keep as many points of failure out of my rig as possible.
@@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams I'm with you on that now. I made the switch from engineering in the late 1980s and I don't even remember what I was able to do then. With my second guitar build (in 2019), I had to rewire twice before I was able to get everything working correctly.
I'm addicted to your channel.
Great :) Thanks for taking the time to watch.
such clean precise work...great build again, looking fwd to the next build
Thanks, details of new builds coming soon :)

Congrats on another great finish job.
Thanks Robert, I'm really pleased with it :)
A nice soldering job, some of the videos I watch are like a horror movie. The build is looking fabulous can't wait to see it in its completed state.
Thanks, I started building effect pedals a few years ago and that makes you up your solder game!! :)
really nice job! the polishing looks worth the effort.
Thanks Ben, the body has come out really nice in the end. I can't wait to get it put together!
Finish is beautiful, really like that color. Very clean solder job as well. Great work as always.

Congratulations !!!
Thank you!!
Great stuff
Thanks Jim :)
Dig the music choice.
Looks really nice, great finish on the body. What polish did you use?
Thanks Mick, I used farecla g3 after wet sanding to 1200 grit.
I 14:39 I cut a small piece of heat shrink to tidy up the tatty ends of the cloth.
Yep, that works. I recently found some better push back wire that cuts nicely and doesn't fray. Looks great.

Haha, I kind of understand what's going on and kind of don't but if you break it down it's easy enough. Wood, that's more my comfort zone :)
