That is one fine instrument!!!!

Fender 1000. Not sure what year but it plays and sounds great! I don't have the footpedals for it. Didn't have them when I bought it. $750 or best offer. Buyer will have to pay shipping. Last chance before I part it out on EBay. Here's the link to my posting on Craigslist. You can see the pictures t...

Oh, sorry I'm asking $700 for it

Also, I'll be sending BOB a donation after the sale!

I bought this guitar on here last year and I haven't used it much. So here's your chance to buy it. I believe it is a Fender 1000 from the mid sixties? The serial number is 00894. The guitar plays great. All of the tuning keys work fine and included is a hard shell case. It also comes with the four ...

Oh, and I painted the whole guitar with automotive paint. Urethanes!

No, I sanded it with 600 grit sandpaper and used Bulldog adhesion promotor. Mainly for the paint to stick to the plastic pick guard. And I agree the horn shape on the body is annoying. That's why I got some industrial strength velco and a rigid stand from Home Depot and play mine standing up. Now th...

Thanks! I kinda liked the fretboard, so I kept it. It's very easy to see in the dimly lit clubs while playing. Does your son have a website for his paintwork? I'd love to check it out. Mine is www.fullblownpaint.com Cheers!

Here's a time lapse video of me custom painting one if my slide guitars. Enjoy!!!!!

With this band I'm actually using a cheap Peavey Powerslide and a Johnson Marquis combo amp. It's my cheapest gear, but for some reason it works with this band. I also have a Steel King, two fender double neck steels ( Dual Pro and Fender 1000) and a Fender 400 pedal steel. Here's a video of me pain...

It sounds great in the video! Beautiful guitar. What kind of amp are you playing through?

Here's a tune I'm working on. All the guitar parts are done with my 48 Fender Dual Professional. I'm using Presonus Studio 1 software...

And I agree with Ron. If you wetsand be careful not to use much water. I myself use wax&grease remover to wetsand on instruments because it evaporates quickly and won't penetrate into wooden instruments. Also use 2000 grit wet/ dry sand paper. 1500 if there are some deeper scratches. And if you ...

That's right! The original post stated a polish. So yes the logical scenario is using a polish( a.k.a compound) to bring back a dull finish and remove surface scratches. If the original post would have stated a wax i would've never mentioned a buffer. I like to wax by hand. Again, my own personal pr...

Well, I know what works for me. And what is time effective. Just remember if you go to cranking on that finish with a swirl remover like the Meguiers 9 and a buffer you have more of a chance of heating that finish up while working to remove the scratches. Which could be very damaging to your topcoat...

Cutting compound!!!! A swirl remover or cleaner will not cut like a cutting compound. I do paintwork professionally for a living. Check out my website. www.fullblownpaint.com

That thing looks sweet!!! I have a 48 dual pro tuned to B11 and an open e with some variations for playing some bluesy stuff. I chose the B11 after watching the smooth playing of Anthony (Tony) Locke. Here's a refernce video...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zLYfhyIfKI

You need something that will cut. ( Cutting compound ). A lacquer finish is very hard. Miguires #9 is a good product but it is a swirl remover which should be used after a cutting compound with a grey foam pad. I really like the Promethius compound and swirl remover. It is very expensive but it save...

3M PerfectIt II or Promethius compound. You can buy it at automotive paint supply shops.

Yep, thanks Billy!!!!!!!!!

PM sent

Karen, I sent you a PM. Thanks!!!

Im interested in one of the pedals. Probably the silver 120. I've never seen the copper one before. Is there a model number for it? Thanks

I'm interested. But I would like to check out the pictures
