Scott Rosenberger Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 I wonder how Mrs. Drak reacts to your fits of rage when feeding W.O.D. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 i think of it like this...if drak were to give those bodies away,then there would be a whole lot of bodies out there with drak's name on them that he was not happy with. this way,at least he knows what has his name on it is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feylya Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 I was thinking about the name thing alright. I was just thinking it'd be handy for testing out different finishes on wood that would have just been destroyed anyway. Actually Drak, what do you do with the WOD's crumbs?

erikbojerik Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 I had a feeling this might happen...as soon as you mentioned glue in the pores, and how it would look better if it had been a cap instead of a veneer, I saw it coming. Interestingly, I had my own WOD experience this weekend. For about the millionth time, my weed trimmer wouldn't start after the 100th pull, so I grabbed it by the business end and fed it to my own WOD. OK, it's only a brick chimney and not a real wall, but man that was very cathartic. Best part? I got to light the gasoline-soaked wall and watch it burn for a little while. I can see where you're coming from, this could become a habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGGR Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Hey Drak.........why don't you sell it on ebay, and have the proceeds go to the Red Cross/ Katrina Disaster Fund.. or so... Just an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapbarstrat Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 There doesn't need to be any name on a guitar body, so the idea of less than perfect work "being out there" is nonsense. I hope he's joking about trashing the stuff. If not, then maybe he needs another hobby, like sewing. Sewing project #1 : make straight-jacket for himself. Doesn't have to look pretty, just be functional. It would end up with an authentic "sour burst' too. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 There doesn't need to be any name on a guitar body, so the idea of less than perfect work "being out there" is nonsense. you mean just like pride,integrity,and craftsmanship are nonsense? i think if you don't get it...then you just don't get it...and nothing will help you understand.

Daniel Sorbera Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Well i'm sorry to see it go. I think you were on to something here with the green burst tele. I really like the idea of a jalepeno inlay I hope you will try again with a real peice of wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 So if my favorite guitar falls and gets a bunch of ugly scratches on it, I should smash it ? And, no, I'm not interested in "getting" or "understanding" stupidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 So if my favorite guitar falls and gets a bunch of ugly scratches on it, I should smash it ? actually..the equivelant would be you providing a suck ass fret job for free rather than doing it better in the first place. but you are the last person i would expect to understand anything involving personal beliefs or convictions.or am i unclear?

Drak Posted September 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 TROLL ALERT!!!!! Don't feed the trolls people. Soapbar is nothing but a miserable haggard wretch of a troll and was nearly booted out of here before anyway for doing exactly this kind of thing before, he is a troublemaker extroadinaire wherever he goes. His goal is to ruin EVERYONE'S good time, PLEASE don't let him. I am not answering him, please, don't YOU eidder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 " or am i unclear?" You couldn't possibly be more unclear. I don't agree with the " if I can't have it, nobody is going to have it" way of thinking. If I had a guitar body I didn't like and really didn't want it, didn't want to bother selling it, I'd give away. Some people can't have a decent guitar so easily. I really don't get the comparison you wrote about if I did a poor fret-job. This is a Tele body Drak made and didn't like the finish. A finish is not the whole damn body, it can be re-done. A Tele body can have a different top put on. Some kid could learn with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay5 Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 So Drak, now that the apple tele is no more, can we persuade you to at least snap a few shots of whatever else you have going on in the kingdon o' destruction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted September 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 TROLL ALERT!!!!! Imagine there's no heaven, It's easy if you try, No hell below us, Above us only sky, Imagine all the people living for today... Imagine there's no countries, It isnt hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, No religion too, Imagine all the people living life in peace... Imagine no possesions, I wonder if you can, No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man, Imagine all the people Sharing all the world...

Drak Posted September 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 I'm going to get something to eat and do something else until the troll leaves us in peace to enjoy the art of building guitars once again. Adios amigos! (Don't feed the troll, please. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoofnagle Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Drak, At what point in your building career did you start to feed WOD? When you first started did you keep the flawed guitars? I am about to start finishing #2 and have a list of things to do better on the next one.

TenderSurrender Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Arrrg noooooooooo I wonder if there should be a support group for all those effected by the WOD incidents Will we ever get the privilidge of seeing these things actually being fed to the WOD? Shame its gone Drak, I think the finish was cool but as you said... its up to YOU if YOU like it... you didnt... so it dies... seems simple! ~~ Slain Angel ~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGGR Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 I accept the distruction.....not understanding it, but accepting it....as he is the man in charge.... What kills me is not seeing the last pics of it. .. Probably better anyway.......as darn will it still be one nice guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmrentis Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Hey Drak did you ever get to hear eMOTIVE by Perfect Circle, they do a remake of Imagine on it, I remember you said you had it, I just wanted to know if you listened to it yet and your thoughts on it. Also I want to officially apply for the job of the WOD, whenver you need a new WOD I would be happy to take the job. I feel I have what it takes, I am always hungry especially for teles. I hope you consider me for the job whenever you need a replacement, my only downfall would be that I really like to eat even the best exotic figured guitars.

skibum5545 Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Dang, man, sorry it didn't go so well. But hey, there's always next time, right? I see why you trashed it, too. Next time, I'd go with a thicker top and back, and go more for a lime or forest green burst, rather than the teal you had on there. Sorry to see it gone.

jnewman Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Man, Drak... you did that KILLER fast - and I was really impressed with the quality of work, even if the materials ended up ruining it for you. I can understand your destroying 'em - God knows the one I just finished ought to be . Then again, it's my first, so I think I'll hang on to it - the next ones better watch out though.
