I used tung oil on my last build. Love the matte satiny finish. This go around it's TruOil. I did not expect this to be as good as I read in some posts. This is coat 3 and dry to the touch in a couple hours. The body needs a few more coats due to the deep grain.
I just received a .12" rosewood top. I was initially going to use it on a solid body project, but am considering using it for a semi hollow build. Would this be too thin, or should I send it? The electronics will be direct mounted, and the pickups/bridge will have body under to mount.
So I got a bad batch of bone nut blanks. 3 in a row chipped while filing. I decided to try out an adjustable nut. This thing is pretty sweet. Nice clear open notes. I can set the action ridiculously low without buzz, and don't have to worry about over filing. Too low? Back out 1/4 turn, perfect. The only issue to address is the sharp edges. I'll file and polish those later. Has anyone else built with these? What was your experience like long term?
Pardon the condition. I'm testing before final sanding and finish.
