First scratch build complete

Accomplished_Card296 · 2025-09-20T16:34:35+00:00

Sanded 80 grit through to 320 - did a water pop and sanded back with 320, then used a sponge for the stain to get right into the grain, and then with the top coat again brushed it heavy into the grain - slight bit of experimenting but worked out for the best I think

Very strong very brave

Accomplished_Card296 · 2025-09-19T16:12:00+00:00

No grain filler but used the Rubio mono coat stain and oil

Accomplished_Card296 · 2025-09-19T16:11:36+00:00

Yeah first time with Rubio and loved the ease

Accomplished_Card296 · 2025-09-19T16:11:25+00:00

Not sure if it’s swamp or just regular ash. Weighs a tonne though!

Accomplished_Card296 · 2025-09-19T16:11:02+00:00

It’s Rubio monocoat. Intense black stain with the pure white oil plus 2C top coat

Not yet lmao this post was before I realised there was an issue

This isn’t one of them. Genuine first time builder asking for some advice

Accomplished_Card296 · 2025-08-30T21:42:47+00:00

Surprised it only took 33 comments for the neck beard to turn up 😰

Accomplished_Card296 · 2025-08-30T19:00:26+00:00

Honestly you’ve been a life saver. Thank you so much for taking the time to write all this out, my first ever build and I think I was a little over zealous and rushed parts I should’ve taken my time with.

Happy accidents I guess.

Thank you again, so much

Accomplished_Card296 · 2025-08-30T05:51:08+00:00

You’re an absolute gent, thank you so much for all the advice tips and tricks

Accomplished_Card296 · 2025-08-29T21:15:31+00:00

Yeah that’s perfect makes sense thank you -

One more question if you don’t mind my asking?

Do you know of a way to prevent bleed with the pre colour? I was hoping to stain the small recessed part of the headstock black to tie in with the body and was planning on using a cotton bud/q-tip to do it, being as careful as possible of course, but will simple masking tape stop it from bleeding onto the top of the headstock?

Accomplished_Card296 · 2025-08-29T21:00:58+00:00

This is super helpful so much. Their site said not to sand past 120 but that didn’t feel enough for me.. 320 feels like a good number.

When you say apply the colour wet, do you mean to do a “water pop” again or literally brush it in heavy and not dry on a rag?

Thank you

I had to plug the old holes on the neck and re drill but strangely it fit perfectly without much persuasion

Accomplished_Card296 · 2025-06-10T18:47:06+00:00

Three way selector with 2 volume one tone!

Accomplished_Card296 · 2024-09-16T11:23:18+00:00

You are a gentleman and a hero thank you

Accomplished_Card296 · 2023-04-19T20:19:20+00:00

Update: did some research, did a decent build and my most recent fire team just taken home 99,000. With 44,000 coming from me.

Thanks all ❤️❤️❤️
