AS90 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Just the neck I took the gloss off the neck on my G400 with some super fine sand paper and loved the feel. So after a couple of beers last night, I did the same to my Sheri, it now plays even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smips65 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I was wondering who broke into my new fridge and helped themselves to half my beer....... I guess it was me... How fine a grade of sandpaper did you use BTW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Should have been a free kick out side the box there AS90 and that is from a bluenose...... Great finish from Torres That's my half time assessment.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SketchyEtchy Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Your right it should of been a free kick, challenge was outside the box and he fell in, but what can you do really. Lets just say liverpool are teasing them giving them false hope. We will get a couple of goals back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So after a couple of beers last night, I did the same to my Sheri, it now plays even better! What do you think about some tung oil on that neck? Gives you some protection, but preserves a more "naked wood" feel. Any other amateur or professional luthiers have a comment on that idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AS90 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 can you post some pics of this? . The back of the headstock shows how glossy it was... So this shows the nice new satin finish... A bit of T Cut and polish will bring the gloss back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Dumb question, AS90...but, I've always wondered, why...when they fixed your headstock, they didn't just paint the whole headstock "black?" (Just curious) ;>b No big deal... CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
