ML1 - Modification 3 - Fine sanding and staining

[evilguitar9430]

where did you get the mahogany stain?

and how is it that you didnt put a clear coat on?

God only knows why you'd go through this process and not take off the neck and electronics. Ever heard the old adage: theres never time to do it right, but theres always time to do it over...?

what's so special about these ML1 guitars dude?

@zakka231092

Hi there mate,

I'm main reason why I like the ML1's is they are so affordable, but still of great quality.

Mahogany body, Ebony Fret board, Wilkonson Trem, Grover tuners,

Put in a good set of pickups and you have a brilliant guitar for very little money,

Also the fact that you can email the head of the company with questions is pretty cool!

Well done buddy, I've got some sound issues at the moment, but lot's more ML1 videos coming,

The bachelor of audio sounds like a lot of fun!

There's many many share houses, usually there's three or four ad's advertising share house, on the campus cork boards, maybe email the course coordinator and ask?

Great Job!

[patdavidmusic]

@ajatco Thanks mate!

[MrKokss]

Looking great mate, you're doing pretty much what I plan on doing if I do get an ML1 :) I love being able to really see the woodgrain! So what's the plan for her not-so-look-alike-anymore twin then? ;)

[patdavidmusic]

@MrKokss Hey mate, thanks for the nice complement!

That's my favorite part too, I just got very very lucky with the bits of wood that were used,

The best idea I think is to have a back up play just in case your ML1 has three different cuts of mahogany. My back up plan was i was going to paint it completely white on the top and leave the back/sides black,

Ah the other guitar (336) is my uncles, it will be staying unchanged for him. Well at least that's what he says at the moment haha
