DarkHeart Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Unless you want the grain to show through I`d suggest grain filler by the bucket load, Paulownia will suck a lot of paint up as it`s very open pored and also very soft! I was going to suggest a neck from Northwest guitars but they`re out of stock, looks like I got mine at the right time! Good luck with the build.

Geek99 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 See my build thread for paulownia - total nightmare, not just grain filler but also paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch13 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Northwest guitars seems to have seem decent looking necks for a lot less than £400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
