  1. I like how how Gibson says its usefull for beginners (maybe rich ones) http://www.thenewsvault.com/cgi/xtra.pl?go=11967725266
  2. this maybe in the wrong section but i figured this is where it would get veiwed the most its a live online graffics paint job by the Musikraft custom paint shop this saturday check it out and enjoy http://musikraft.3dcartstores.com/Shop-Cams_ep_51-1.html
  3. hmmm where to begin? can this be done....yes has it been done....yes will it be done again .....yes am i doing it....yes why cause we can (huge access to wood) problems building ....what problems when you have a 5 axis cnc (though only 3 are used) total glue used?....less than most people drip on the floor does it sound or sustain better.....who knows its not finished but i can say its tap tone is incredible. better than a bolt on body or a neck thru (that depends) is this topic worth discussion.......id say by the responces no so why did i post......im bored and retarted
  4. Try Exotic woods http://exoticwoods.com/home.php you'll pay out the ass but Gulab has everything and then some
  5. actually bluebird referd to the top i was going to use (flamed birdseye) but i did not want to take a chance on destroying it. and i have a few of these tops so the choice was obvious. now that i have the color down ill do more maybe a Tele twin? but this should be done within the next month thanks for the comments p.s. its not even orange peel yet its only two light coats to seal the top what you see may still be the grain. though i dont see it in person
  6. finaly some progress on this its my first sand back attemt and i think i did ok (need Draks opinion) the quilted top has been seen before and its mated to a one peice swamp ash back total body weight 2 pounds 14 ounces the top coats are not done whats there is to seal the color before the burst http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d38/femf...stuffmytop2.jpg this should be one sweet super strat
  7. Jackson did and now fender owns the sharkfin inlay neck (note how the few licensed companies can legally produce it) Ibanez found that out the hard way (remember their original sharkies?) thats why they had to switch to the double cut design dont get me wrong Perry's W.O.M.D is unique and Perry you know i highly respect your work and talent. and i agree its just not worth the time and money to go after this one. the reason people can sell just the inlays is just that they are not installed on a neck lets face it what ground would Jackson have if they were installed on a humidor or a hockey stick(none)its not a guitar its not that they own the actual inlay but like their headstock design it says Jackson. a strat body can me massed produced but not the headstock (who knows why). yet an RR can't be legally done without a mod (Alexi model ESP) yet Kramer did it. how about the Charvel Star? ESP again but without a mod (the 80's) if someone did not know Perry and seen that guitar they would think its still awsome and yes Perry would lose out which is a shame. but the fact is its still a cheap copy those on this post have seen the original and it did not take long to find a cheap imitation. the details are in the artist and his vision and no matter what Perry knows what he has done and no one can take that from him period. one hell of a luthier and one hell of a talent. so Perry if i may say so(F@#K that Asshole wanabee)
  8. not to be the d@#k the spoils all the fun but wouldn't sharks tooth inlays fall into this category?
  9. an Edge pro is a perfectly good trem better or worse than a floyd thats a personal preference in reality they are about equal. being fulcrum trems they have about the same feel both remain in tune equally. the floyd has a hardened base plate the edge has hardened inserts like the schaller floyds. me i prefer schallers but would not change a edge just for that reason its just not justifiable money wise as far as f-spaced the answer is yes but i use standard spaced strait up (non angled) and i doubt you could hear the difference. I'm just retarded so its all the same to me
  10. WOW!!!!!!!!!! im the only guy other than Pete
  11. to add on Fryovanis comment what does it smell like it looks to light in color to be bloodwood but that could be the pic bloodwood has an almost Cinnamon like smell and very sweet
  12. if that was laying in my back yard it woud be pine thats looking at the bark and color but its not my yard although in that pic i dont see any sap and it has leaves not needles so its not that
  13. What exactly does a power stripe do? and would this double the power?
  14. Vivian Campblle Warren DeMartini David Gilmour George Lynch Jake E Lee (Badlands era) Glenn Tipton Wolf Hoffman Peter Klett Joe Walsh Adrian Smith Jeff Beck John Sykes Mathis Jabs Joe Satch Eddie Van ailing And how could anybody not inclued Randy Rhodes Dimebag Darrel Cliff Burton
  15. you ask for alot of info try the search function
  16. Basswood=Poop the the major players in building use it for cost effectiveness and workability morethan for tone we have not sold a Basswood body in eons and the blanks we have just collect dust and waste space and poplar....please green is only good for the environment
  17. My maple body/neck with maple board sounds awsome to me and it has a Duncan jb in the bridge it has not been suggested yet so my 2 cents would be lower pot values. you dint say what you have in there but as its a strat id guess 250k? see if you can find a 100k such as this http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=023-560 if by chance they are 500k than try 250 k ones and for a couple buck seems a cheaper test than a pickup swap if your really skilled you could try bone inserts in the saddles but thats a lot of work and id buy that Floyd from you before id let you kill it
  18. i always use a very slight and i do mean slight pitch shift to fatten things up a bit on
  19. Schaller made the OFR's and many Jackson trems. and im sure some others the difference between them is the Floyd has a hardened steel baseplate Schaller's have a cast base with hardened inserts Ibanez also used hardened inserts on most of their trems (Edge/pro/pro 2) that i know of (maybe more) and they all used hardened post's I dont know about the Kahler's but i would hope they used them as well i have the Mighty Might but wont use it as a trem as it never holds its tune but its not just the inserts/post's, its the saddles they bind up on each other. the inserts suck and it has horrible post's to boot. plus the machining is junk at best bottom line is a you get what you pay for.......$50 dont expect much a Trem Setter is always a plus
  20. Yes its possible but you may also destroy it
  21. Thank the Late great Lovecraft for this http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.ph...mp;#entry257121
  22. Great reveiw swamp ash is awsome. very light and resonant pick up a thinline tele and tell me what you think
