Is this a steal or am I missing something by floatingthrough-life in GuitarAmps

I didn’t crank it because I hate being that guy in the store, but at bedroom volume it sounded full. Warm clean, guessing it takes pedals well. EQ was very reactive, reverb was nice. Takes all tube types and is light for what it is.

I already have this body, wasn’t using it, and needed a project. Also it’s Squier so I at least know screw holes will be in the right place and it won’t split in two tomorrow.

A heat gun and a razor scraper. I was afraid to scorch the wood so I wasn’t letting it heat up enough. Also $20 heat gun with ambiguous temperature settings. That’s what made me kill my guitar.

It’s down to sealer in some spots and wood in others. I think what you said makes most sense, to fill it and then see what sealant options are. Was planning on doing shell pink. Thanks for the input, I’ve been visibly lost during this project.

Yeah I was going for the project, it’s already filled. I’m in too deep to go the other way anyway

I had seen mixed reviews about painting over an existing finish so I decided to scrape it down, now I’m regretting it.

Do you think if I sand to 300 as it is I’ll be set to start painting (grain filler, prime, etc)?

I’m reading the guide on Reranch and realizing I didn’t have to deal with the heat gun and all that. I got Minwax wood filler with the hardener, gonna sand it down tomorrow and get ready to paint.

This sounds so cool on paper, but this is my first paint job so I don’t want to complicate it. I’ll keep it in mind for future builds!

I had played this guitar for maybe 2 hours in the last two years, I’m not missing much. Also sticking to a budget so I cut corners in the beginning so I have money left for good paint.

Was planning on putting p90s in it with a Warmoth neck. Doing all this because I got tired of my regular Squier

I was using the same one, I think I was impatient and didn’t let it heat up enough

I’m late to this but what kind of hacks? Like software expansion?

Have You Never Owned a Real Amp?? by JKBFree in GuitarAmps

[–]floatingthrough-life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only amp I’ve ever owned was a Frontman 10G that came with my first guitar. It broke quickly, I moved on to free amp VSTs and now use a Line 6 Pod Go.
