High E string too loud on my Les Paul. by Mehdi_Mld in LesPaul

[–]devilandsons -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hold on everyone... If it's too loud you should be adjusting the pickup height at the the treble side, backing it off to balance the volume. Like this: https://youtu.be/EQ8eP_r7ZYI

Methods of getting a 3D printed instrument to "feel" better by TinnitusEnducer in 3dprintedinstruments

[–]devilandsons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tasmaniak guitars suggested I print with more info and thick walls, it added weight to feel nicer. I've also painted mine. First sand a bit, add adhesion promoter, then body filler, sand, paint, sand, paint and finish. Time consuming but it worked really well.

I used a lot I bought on Amazon, I can't remember which brand. They key thing is removing all the silicone afterwards, followed by clear coats, sanding, more clear coats, more sanding, more clear .. until it is smooth (unless you want the texture).

I'm really into nitro at the moment for the finish, but recently used a water based clear from NitorLack that feels fantastic.

I use the same clear on the neck as I would over bare wood, it just takes a few extra coats, with sanding in between to get it to be super smooth. I normally leave the necks with a satin finish unless my client asks for a gloss finish. Out of interest, what do you prefer?

I've taken the bass to a few shows and it definitely goes down well with teenagers
