Project guitar opinion/help
« on: March 01, 2007, 10:04:16 PM »
I have an old rj solidbody that I plan to practice painting on. Kaso I just cant get over the fact that it's sloppily routed.
The plan is to have it routed nicer, i.e. maybe have it filled up and routed again sana.

Here are some pics:





Any of you guys know where this can be filled and routed for cheap? Any and all opinion welcome. Thanks! :)

Hi Bro,

    You can talk to Jon de la Cruz of Elgee customes or Dr. Arie. Both of them do good jobs on routing bodies.

   Thanks!

Does the routing affect what supposed to be the correct scale of the guitar, or is it just an OC thing?

Thanks Ronnie,
I have no doubt in my mind that Jon and Arie will do a great professional job. I'm really just concerned about the cost na baka mas maganda na lang na bumili ng brand new body. So I'm looking for options first.

Al,
It may be an OC thing. Hehehe. Plus it has some nice parts, sayang naman kung eto condition ng body.
Do you think na putulin na lang yun gitna and palitan ng plank? Or just fill it with wood filler?

I'm really looking for suggestions kung sino/saan may router, wood or filling etc na pang masa to make this body decent. I remember someone made a body from a blank a few months ago kaso di ko lang mahanap yun thread baka makatulong yun gumawa nun.

Thanks!

Arnold,

Eto ba ang dateng light blue RJ mo?  Pare bumili ka ng Dremel high speed motor tool at ma pipino mo ang routed sides ng gitara mo.
