They’ll relic anything anything you send to them. This one was a 1 off roasted alderVery cool!
I didn't know MJT made Charvel bodies.
Very sweet guitar with some cool features. How does that JB with A2 sound compared to a Jalen Franky (or whatever he calls his hot A2 pickup)?
The Jazz with an A2 is the Alnico II Pro.The JB is hotter. Most would assume the JB would sound compressed with an A2, but it has alot of clarity and no spike to my ears a more bouncy low end that plays nicely with maple necks.
The jazz with an A5 can be very clinical. The A2 softens it.
I love the AP2, so that explains why I like the Jazz with an A2The Jazz with an A2 is the Alnico II Pro.
Years ago when Slash was looking for a signature pickup it was suggested they put an A5 in an APH-2. Cue MJ telling them they already make that.I love the AP2, so that explains why I like the Jazz with an A2
I use a very unconventional method. The entire process only takes several hours. I do not wait for curing. Nitro is very easy to work with within the first few hours after application. I only work with it when humidity is below 50%. I use minwax clear satin lacquer from Lowe’s, which is nitrocellulose. I apply a few coats first with no decal, let dry to touch ~20 minutes. I then buff the area with a dry folded paper towel until the area is smoooth and shiny. I then put a few drops of water on the headstock so that I have a few seconds to adjust the decal when applying. Let dry for 15-20 min. I then do a light coat. Dry 15-20 min. I then do about 3 more even but more generous coats going several passes each coat. I then wet sand with 1000 grit using just the weight of my hand. You will see the edges, but less sharp. I then lightly sand the edges of the decal. It all about finesse. I will add a few more coats and repeat with 1000 and 1200-1500 grit. If you want really shiny, buff with a paper towel once dry. For a nice satin finish I use 1200 wet dry and when the headstock and paper start to dry, keep going and it will start to cloud like a satin finish. I’d you have shiny/cloudy spots , keep wet sanding as it’s not even yet. Buy some scrap wood and practice. I did it in an afternoon.Very Nice Scottosan!
Can I ask how you get your decal so transparent with no visible edges?
I have a hard time with the waterslides I've used in the past showing edges even after multiple topcoats of clear.
