wolfcoast Posted December 29, 2004 Report Posted December 29, 2004 Arrgh this is frustrating. I just finished moving to guam and need to order new blade guides for my Delta bandsaw. I found the part easily enough but ran into a rather large catch.. They can't ship to Guam. Rediculous.. It's a terriitory of the US and they can't ship here. So now I have to send them to my father-in-law and get him to mail them to me. Now I have the choice to wait or start using a jigsaw on my new alder body blank hehe. One thing I am extremely thankfull for though. Stewmac ships to Guam!!! Yay!! hehe Quote

Brian Posted January 1, 2005 Report Posted January 1, 2005 I just got floored when I tried to send a pair of golf clubs to New Zealand, the post wouldn't accept the package because it was over 42 inches long, go figure........... Quote
wolfcoast Posted January 1, 2005 Author Report Posted January 1, 2005 I'm going to start on a Jem Body style guitar for now. I bought one of the premade paddle headstocks from stewmac as I don't have the tools I need to fret a guitar yet. The one I bought is Birds Eye Maple. Plus I wanted to work on being able to build/finish a good body before I started in on neck building. I've made a couple of practice bodies using pine wood and getting ready to make an official start on one. As this is my first guitar I'm basically doing a Jem Body style minus the monkey grip. I'm using cannibalized parts from a J.B Player guitar I have and don't play much at all. The pickups are EMG Selects. 2 Singles & 1 humbucker in bridge position. Floyd Rose style Tremolo. All the hardware is black. The finish will be a material finish per the tutorial on here. I have 4 different fabrics to select from. Can't decide which one I want to do first.. Everytime I go to Walmart I find a good fabric on sale and can't help but grab a few yards. I plan on posting pics once I start but will be long between due to being in the Navy and going to sea a lot. Quote
