Till Tomorrow

Hi everyone

Out of clear lacquer so tomorrow I'll see if I can find some in Kona. If I can't I'll plan to assemble the guitar to do some sound tests and see how all the black parts fit the natural and white. I might just buy some white parts if the black doesn't look right.

Musically Kimberly and I are planning to record a song, but thats still a week away.
Kimberly and Michael's recording was great.

This Saturday we'll be going to watch and help the church worship team set up for Sunday. Then we'll go early Sunday when they practice.

i'm distracted right now. Can't think of much to post. I just like reporting not talking. oh well
next time.

Above is the replacement nut, below is the original nut still waiting to be taken out.

The new nut and abalone inlays arrived two days ago. Just yesterday Kimberly and I put all

eight new abalone inlays in for the acoustic. Today I changed the strings on the electric. Wow- it sounds so much improved compared to before. The strings were for acoustic or electric guitar. I play acoustic more than electric so the strings felt more comfortable, better tension, and thicker sound.

This is the acoustic guitar. I have not replaced any inlays on the electric, yet.

As you can see we made a few nicks and dents, but overall I think the guitar looks great. Also Kimberly and I learned how to better replace inlays next time. I love custom.

This post was all guitar wasn't it? Well on the flip side, I just finish the book This Present Darkness by Frank E. Peretti. Not only did I thoughly enjoy it, but the spiritual message is inspiring and awakening. I was so engrossed in this book that today I almost didn't notice we had an accident while driving to Waimea- and no I wasn't driving. And also I wasn't reading the time I could of had an accident when driving home from Puako- We are all safe so please don't worry. I am still driving though ( I'm not worrying abou that but you can).Joking, joking. This book rocks. Nuff said. (try that on a book report)

Well as you can see I have painted the headstock white.

Traditionally the headstock is painted black, but it didn't seem to match.
I bought abalone dot inlays to replace the white ones and a nut to replace the plastic one.

My dad and I have been talking about buying a mic so Kim can record properly. Even though I have found one I don't want be to fast to buy. First it takes a good deal of dedication of time and energy to record music and second Kim doesn't want to record with a mic.

She likes recording with the camcorder which for our level the perfect. Now I'd like to mention that if you saw Kim's latest production: yes I was in it; no I'm not doing it again.

I fully believe and know I can't sing. Amen.

Last thing I toke a PSAT at home today from a booklet. Score: 173 that's average I think. Top scores are 200 to 220

As you have noticed my mind has been thinking about the guitar constantly. There's actually not much to do, but I've been preoccupied with how to upgrade it.

In truth I've let the guitar take over my mind. I'm putting it back in the correct perspective.
To glorify God and learn a few things. I should also be focusing on learning about God and heavenly things.

Hi everyone this is an update on the guitar I'm making

Today I did three cleat coats on the neck and body!!

This is the decal I hoped to use, but the lacquer dissolved the gold so I will most likely use a sticker after the finishing process.

For hardware I plan the upgrade the pickups and pickguard which is black.

Augghhh!! Blogger has an internal error and I can upload any pictures for the moment!Well I'll try tomorrow. bye
