Dino

LMAO!!
Good one!

Now buy me a guitar ... it's customary ...

Hey Dino I just wanted to tell you I love your Standard Faded. It has got the best combination of red I have ever seen on a STD Faded, and If you could polish the finish to make it shine, It would be even better!

Yo Dino,

It's heading off the Ebay as we speak My bills have been piling up so it has to go...

Regards,

Howard

That's okay.
No hard feelings.

sorry about the ''shitty glam guitar'' , really, I didnt mean to be offensive, perhaps people in my country would have understood in another way, but sorry!

I respect you dino and I wasnt being serious

Yeah ... no filler required, but you will need to use a sealer.
I wouldn't use a damp cloth ... no need to raise the grain unless you're trying to remove dents, in which case you would need to steam them out.

What type of paint will you be using?

Take your time and do a thorough job prepping the body.
The better your prep work, the better your paintjob.
ive heard so many things about painting it. Do you mean seal it with the primer or seal it with _______ AND then primer?


Ive heard that you should use 60,120,180,220,320 to prep body with wiping down with damp cloth to raise grain in between. thats what i have done. any other suggestions?

Stew mac says i dont need to use a grain filler with basswood because it is a tight wood.
