    From the lower portion of the webpage, it appears they are a subsidiary of Godin.... http://www.simonandpatrick.com/intro.htm

    If you've got studs on your codpiece, you stopped into the wrong bar......

    Get one of those and you won't save any money. The cheap bridges are made out of pot metal and strip out easily. Especially with a headless bridge, you want the adjustments to be easy, reliable and stable
  4. LightninMike
    Yes it will. Use a little heat and pre-bend the binding. you will probably want to use a small piece to get the process down first before doing it on the final install. Remember that a little heat goes a long way and you can scorch the binding if you are not careful.

    If you play, and want a new guitar (I know what a silly proposition! OF COURSE you want a new guitar) TRADE them! Have the person who wants the bodies send you something you need to build yours and they pay shipping as well any pics for us (just in case someone wants an aluminum bodied guitar)

    Sapele? (altho Koahogany is a good name as well)

    So they are permanently warped? no heat and relax to get them back flat?
  8. LightninMike
    Very nice. Well done

    For that top, a nice simple carve and then stain it with a dark honey brown. Sand it back and a nice clear finish. As ripthorn stated, no reason to go overboard when the wood already is the statement

    Looking good. You mentioned you were shooting clear over the finish at this point. Make sure you shoot enough to bury the flake if you are going to sand before the template goes down. If you don't completely cover the flake, you will cut them down when you sand and they lose a lot at that stage

    That fanned fret jig is great. I hope you don't mind that I shared the idea elsewhere
  12. LightninMike
    Wow. That is one heck of a score
  13. LightninMike
    Very nice. Looks like it's dipped in glass Beautiful flow to the instrument
  14. LightninMike
    Very nice looking guitar. To mirror what the others have said, that is a great looking neck. The top is going to be that quilt? If so, may I suggest you don't use the usual tele control plate? just mount directly to the top, and access through the back
