re: Skully's Bolt Kit ThreadWell, I'm glad you shared the process with us and hope you do it again! I really like the thought of building a Bolt with the youngster when he gets a little older. The finish is where I have concerns. I'm not good with paint but......his mother is! Maybe a team effort. There was a pic posted somewhere a while ago of a Bolt kit with the family's handprints all over it and it looked pretty neat.
Now if we can get Coda's kit build going...... ![]() ![]()
re: Skully's Bolt Kit ThreadGreat job on the finish! It looks amazing! How's the sound and action?

re: Skully's Bolt Kit ThreadThis thing is slinkier than a Strat, Plays real nice. I don't mess with the Wilky much.
It's a dang good guitar. I'd recommend it to anyone. Build one, guys! You'll be glad you did. ![]() SH645

re: Skully's Bolt Kit ThreadExcellent job, and it was fun to follow your trials and tribulations. Couple of questions...what caused the orange peel? and do you think the body was smooth enough to use a natural finish to let the grain show? Thanks,
re: Skully's Bolt Kit ThreadHi Dach....orange peel is generally caused by human error, too much paint, bad angle, improper nozzle setup, letting the thinner in the paint evaporate, that sort of thing. At least it's not too hard to fix.
As for letting the grain show, the body of the bolt had(has) some cool grain and would've looked and felt fine with a clearer finish. I'd already prepared for an opaque one, is all. ![]() SH645

re: Skully's Bolt Kit ThreadNice! The metallic really pops out in the sun.
re: Skully's Bolt Kit ThreadThat bolt looks awesome. Love that purple. Makes me want to myself a kit. I want to do a bolt plus with an ash body and tung oil everything. To me that pick guard looks like it is meant for a Floyd rose. Maybe they accidentally sent you the wrong guard. Still looks tremendous. Great job. Congrats.

re: Skully's Bolt Kit ThreadThanks, ersgtr. Yeah, Izzy said that, too. He offered to switch it out. Now that I've got the little diamond there I thought it would be a shame to cover it up....so I left it as is.
Love that purple shimmer, too! ![]() SH645
