As a permanent solution, NO!!! Thanks, JPG. I tested with the jumpers. Everything is fine. I ran the band saw and drill press most of the afternoon. Bit of a pain having to use the plug but I finished what I needed to finish for the day. New switch on the way. I wouldn't even consider the jumpers a...

In your post you kinda skip over some of the basic things, maybe you did them and didn't post... SO.... Power from the outlet? breaker, or fuse? Is the cord in good shape? Check it for continuty...unpluged of course. I just state this because I've done service calls, ASKED if the client checked the...

Place jumpers on the motor wires and bypass the switch to eliminate it as a problem? I have a MarkV C gen headstock. This thing has been bullet proof for years with regular oiling and cleaning. This morning I set up my band saw and hit the power switch but nothing. The switch has been acting odd lat...

Well, after almost a year in the making, The Texas Tele is complete. I buffed it out this morning and I'm very pleased with the results. The grain really pops and it's very close to my original concept. I went back and found a mock up shot with the full size printout taped to it and replicated the s...

I don't know which I like better, your guitar or your playing... both are great!! Nice to see you back at the forum - How 'bout making a Vox Phantom IV bass repro?! I used to have one and stupidly sold it...:( With your skills I bet it would be even cooler!! Alec Hi Alec. Thanks for the kind words....

WOW! Great lookin job! A true masterpiece. Wish I had the talent to make such an artful piece of work. Some of us can, some of us can't. I'm just a Tele player who has to rely on Fender to make my instruments. I can however make a mean foot-stool..!:D Hi Doug. Thanks! I could make a few footstools ...

Great stuff!

Thanks Chris! Truth is, I kinda fumble around with both and get lucky once in a while.

Very pretty, what's the finish? How many coats? Thanks Doug! It's Target EM6000. This guitar has 8 coats on it. Level sanded after 4 coats, then again after 8. It's a water based lacquer...acrylic actually but it's formulated to mimic the look and more importantly, the feel of nitro lacquer. Very, ...

Hello all. I've been away from the forum for awhile. Glad to be back. Some of you may remember my Texas Tele Project I had going last year. It's still in the finish stage...I've had a couple of issues with the finish that I want to sort out before applying clear coats, but it's close. Meanwhile, I'v...
