    In 1977 when I was in Kindergarten , the Teacher asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up ....... I answered "Gene Simmons" ...... and -mortified - she asked why ... I told her " He can spit fire and blood , he has HUGE monster boots and WINGS!!" Then I started mimicing him " God of Thundah!!!!... " I got sent to see the principal and my parents were called in ( BIG country and Western fans ... not so keen on KISS ) and everyone wanted to know how I came to my conclusion........ ( My older brothers ) I never did tell... made up some story about hearing it on the radio .... I got hooked on guitar back then and it never left me. Didn't grow up to be Gene , but I had my fun with music and playing live. Thanks for posting that pic ! Its awesome to see 'em still kickin it ! Oh - and build something , would ya ?? I need pics ........

    John , as the father of two sets of twins I can honestly say - you can make em as different as you'd like. Unless you were doing two guitars of the same scale length , etc or two basses , they're different anyway so just roll with their differences. The similarities still say 'twins' no matter what. Both sets of mine are boy/girl. We still get the question all the time "are they twins?" to which we always smile and say 'yes' to. You'll probably get that same question a lot when people see the builds ... Good stuff however you roll , just wanted to impose my opinion on you.

    Cool stuff ! You play with your fingers. That rocks. The tone I had was due to this thing: It was a Carvin SX-300 head with a slant front 4x12 loaded with Ampeg speakers on top/ Eminence on the bottom. I split it so both the rythym guitarist and myself could play through one cab. Made gigging easier , but again , the sound guy was all .... if you look at the 2nd vid toward the end , the ( lousy ) cameraman zooms in to the stage a bit and you can see the amp in the back with a Mic on each side of it. I like to think my tone comes from my hands since no matter what I seem to play through , it always sounds like me playing......... but that night was an Ibanez geet , Dr. Jekyll distortion pedal and the carvin amp. Pups are always Guitarheads.net brand. "Quality" home-made recordings are on http://www.myspace.com/popalung Rock on !

    I 've done some re-covers before... Spray -glue is your friend. Spray both surfaces and allow them to "tack" ~~ then put 'em together. Corners are best covered with corner protectors , which hides the "folds" and keeps the corners from getting smashed while touring/gigging. I've even done one in "muppet-fur" .......

    http://www.acehardwareoutlet.com/(vcsnew45...urce=GoogleBase ^^ thats rosin core 40/60 electrical solder. Makes all that dipping and dabbing pointless.
  10. Our Souls inc.
    yeah , he did. I like tits myself. Just sayin.
  11. Our Souls inc.
    Nice save. The guitar was nice before. Now its *Niiiiiiccce* . I love the way the new color makes everything stand out.
  12. Our Souls inc.
    If it helps.... I have 2 of em getting sanded back down right now because I wasn't patient enough to wait on the right weather...... they got foggy in spots. While I wait for good weather , I'll go backwards. Take a drive and come back later - you'll see it better. ( That guitar is worth working for - it looks awesome so far _ )

    I've got a mid-forties pickup truck rotting away in the woods next to my house. Any particular parts to look out for if I were to attempt a rusty-rod-inspired guitar ? ( I've got a '51 Ford hood ornament on my '93 Civic ,I love to rod cars..... ) I really dig the rust and think some car trim could be incorporated somewhere in a build for sure.. maybe a gear shift lever for the whammy bar , or the blinker arm .... stick a turn signal on it , ... an old radio dial around the knobs..... , pull out light switch for a push pull pot ?? lol ...... they have dimmer switches built in , right ???? I love it when builds make my brain do circles... Thanks.

    We actually used a 6 foot tall plywood "shadow-man" behind a real drumkit with our logo on it to help the stage look. lol . "Buster" got all kinds of attention from people though. here's one of our originals from the same show. I like the melodic yet driving music you guys play. Kinda punkish and edgy but easier to digest than some drunk kid spitting venom into a mic. Got any others ? .. oh , and which one are you ?lol ... I'm the cat on the left with the Ibanez RG...

    Wowzah!!!!!!!! Thats nice. I'm going to attempt a swirl. My well water is so pure and clean I think I'll get decent results with the paint floating. I've watched a lot of videos and the successful swirls all have certian techniques that are WORLDS apart from some of the , let's just say "less than stellar" jobs .... ( the red one in the shallow tub - !! ) You do swirls that look just like - if not better than - factory.

    Was totally joshing ya about the CNC thing - I'd do it if I could too. At least use templates unless you want it to look like my stuff... About the flipped image , get the best of both worlds - try to flip the whole image with the tombstone writing overlayed in the right direction....... Bobble-head Eddie approves.
  17. Our Souls inc.
    So.......... you gonna use the CNC to cut out a strat?
  18. Our Souls inc.
    Yeah , we were high-energy..... Boss drum machine took care of bass and drums. Shoulda seen the look on the sound-guys face at most places. big fun though.....
  19. Our Souls inc.
    yep, P and blue. Looks great like that to me.......

    http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.ph...st&p=458703 Thats the SM Pyramid wire in that neck there. First time I tried it , but I'll probably use it again. I haven't strung this neck or played it yet , but install was easy and I like the "pointy" profile compared to the fat roundy.

    I figgered out how to retrofit an existing FB to use this: I added a small piece of ebony and slotted it
  22. Our Souls inc.
    Well .... I had some left-over chromey stuff , so I decided to pinstripe this one with it..... I think it made it even more metal-er-est.
  23. Our Souls inc.
    Dig the vibe you got going on ... the clapper on the left is slightly behind the beat , causing a cool , delay-like effect. Nice setting though. Y'all should do a whole album out there. Here's me n my homies rippin up some Pantera live in Phoenix , Az.
  24. Our Souls inc.
    Nice touch ... pointy stick .....
  25. Our Souls inc.
    Thanks I used powdered dye , rubbed it on dry , then wet-sanded with 600 grit. I'm glad you like it!
