Members katillac Posted November 15, 2008 Members Share Posted November 15, 2008 Buuuuuuuuuump. I told you we wouldn't let the thread slip completely off the radar. =) Last night, while working on a power supply for multiple stomp boxes, I thought of you and this thread. It seems like it's taking forever to do this project, but I want to do it right and I think and rethink steps as I go along. I've already changed the design and features a number of times and at this point, it's like doing Version 3 and I like it even more. Patience is paying off. Because of keeping up with this thread and your being patient, it's inspired me to remain patient while doing my project. Thank you =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members katillac Posted November 15, 2008 Members Share Posted November 15, 2008 Don't want to hijack, but I'd definitely like to hear about this. It's in the DIY forum (on this board). It's still in progress, but I'm having fun and giving updates occasionally. Thanks for asking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GarysBlues Posted November 15, 2008 Members Share Posted November 15, 2008 I liked the way the Water-Drop came out, I think its killer. Lot of Good Info in this Tread also, the Guitarelectronics.com sight alone is worth its weight in Gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Electric Blues Posted November 17, 2008 Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 all i can do is wait just like you guys To check if it's "done", try to stab it with your fingernail... somewhere where it won't show of course. If it hasn't cured yet, you'll dent it with your fingernail. If not, it's good to go.LOL! It's kind of like sticking a toothpick into a cake to see if it'e ready!

Members katillac Posted November 18, 2008 Members Share Posted November 18, 2008 I see what you mean about the chrome pup trim. They look a little thick, but I like! Definitely, the chrome looks better than all black would. The black knobs fit in very well. I think they look better than chrome ones would.I bet you're excited as {censored}, ready to rock the {censored} outta that guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Electric Blues Posted November 18, 2008 Members Share Posted November 18, 2008 Looks great! I had recommended Novus #2 as a polish but htere's something else you can use although you have to be a bit more careful since it's stong stuff... Blue Magic. You can get it at any Auto Zone. It's a metal polish but works really well on paint too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
