Zeile 101:

* Building a high quality neck is some next level stuff but building a high quality body is not that hard

* Banding e-guitars is only done for aesthetic reasons.

* Use sand paper to "cut" masking tape at edges of the workpiece

* Use fine sand paper to "cut" masking tape at edges of the workpiece

* If you want a perfectly sharp border between two colors of the paint job proceed as follows (using yellow and black as examples):

# After every time you paint the work piece patiently wait for it to be '''completely''' dry.

# Paint the area that should be yellow with yellow paint. The yellow paint job has to be completely finished except for the final sanding and polishing. Don't worry about the sharp border yet and over-paint a bit (maybe around a centimeter).

# Now generously mask the yellow area with paper masking tape and cover areas far from the border with paper. make sure the masking tapes outlines the sharp border perfectly and except for the area designated to black everything is covered. Properly covering the work piece prevents damage to the work piece by overspray or such.

# Now again mask the outline perfectly with tape, but this time with electrical tape on top of the paper masking tape.

# Now perform a '''yellow''' paint job (except for the final sanding and polishing) on the area designated for '''black''' and overpaint the masking tape. the reason for this step is, that neither your paint job nor the masking will ever be so perfect as to not leaving minuscule cavities below the masking tape for the paint to bleed into. And by painting with yellow first we make sure those cavities below the tape are filled with yellow and no black can bleed into the yellow paint job anymore.

# Now perform the black paint jobs on top.

# Remove all masking tap and coverings and perform the final sanding and polishing.

* High-end guitars use shielding tape in all the electronics hodling pockets.

* Don't believe any guitar myths you haven't checked. Especially when it comes to acoustics and electro-acoustics. The music-tech world is full of esoterics.

* There is a myth that says that the bigger/heavier the solid body is, the more sustain you get. I tested this one by cutting (a failed but functional) version of the guitar step by step down to the bare mininum. At the end the difference in sustain was still marginal while the weight difference was huge. No reason for uncomfortably heavy guitars. also, other qualities of the sound (spectrum, loudness, etc..) only change slightly. So having some meat on the guitar is a good thing while it doesn't justify building back-breakers.
