matttheguy Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 I sure hope not, Perry. Such a nice guitar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted September 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Perry will be out buying a Drool Bucket and a Mop when he sees this one, this is easily one of the best I have ever done. The previous pics don't hold a bloomin' onion to what it looks like now, even I am amazed and in awe of this thing, and I'm pretty critical of my own stuff (just ask the W.O.D.) It's times like this why I remember I started doing this some 12 odd years ago, it was ALL worth it for moments like this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drak Posted October 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I had to break out the airbrush to do the edgeburst around the outer edges of the headstock today. Came out -perfect-. This guitar was just born to rock I'm coming to believe. Pics coming soon, not much left to do but a few more clearcoats now and then assembly. Any guitar that can sidestep the jaws of W.O.D. and make it to the finish line is a worthy guitar inDEED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oz tradie Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Came out -perfect-. Careful how and when you use that word. It's been known to *jinks* many a good job Remember the Hindenberg?

Drak Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Careful how and when you use that word. It's been known to *jinks* many a good job True, true, but if it wound up in the jaws of my little W.O.D., do you really think I would shed a tear?

DanielM Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 could anybody clarify please what is this elusive W.O.D? btw Drak that is a fabulous guitar you're building there, can't wait to see more pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sorbera Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) It means wall of death. Basicly Drak sets the bar very high with his building and when a guitar doesn't make the cut, he ditches it. Simple as that. Weather or not he actually destroys it or not is still open for debate Edited October 3, 2006 by Godin SD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 How durst someone try to explain my W.O.D. It's: THE WALL OF DEATH Flies all green 'n buzzin' in his dungeon of despair Prisoners grumble and piss their clothes and scratch their matted hair A tiny light from a window hole a hundred yards away Is all they ever get to know about the regular life in the day; An' it stinks so bad the stones been chokin' 'N weepin' greenish drops In the room where the giant fire puffer works 'N the torture never stops The torture never stops Slime 'n rot, rats 'n snot 'n vomit on the floor Fifty ugly soldiers, man, holdin' spears by the iron door Knives 'n spikes 'n guns 'n the likes of every tool of pain An' a sinister midget with a bucket an' a mop where the blood goes down the drain; An' it stinks so bad the stones been chokin' 'N weepin' greenish drops In the room where the giant fire puffer works 'N the torture never stops The torture never stops The torture The torture The torture never stops. Flies all green 'n buzzin' in his dungeon of despair An evil prince eats a steamin' pig in a chamber right near there He eats the snouts 'n the trotters first The loin's 'n the groin's is soon dispersed His carvin' style is well rehearsed He stands and shouts All men be cursed All men be cursed All men be cursed All men be cursed And disagree, well no-one durst He's the best of course of all the worst Some wrong been done, he done it first (Well, well) An' he stinks so bad, his bones been chokin' (Yeah) 'N weepin' greenish drops, (Well) In the night of the iron sausage, (Well) Where the torture never stops The torture never stops The torture The torture The torture never stops.

mikhailgtrski Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Blue is my favorite color, except when it comes to guitars. I make an exception for this beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inisheer Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) Wow! You did it again, I have never seen a guitar of yours that I didn't like. That blue quilt looks great, and the matching headstock is equally as cool. It's been a while since the last pictures, I was starting to wonder if WOD did get a hold of it. But now that it is done, I can't even see the line that used to be down the middle. Congrats! PS. Any chance of getting pics from different angles so we can see more of it?

Lord-of-the-strings Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) You actually wrote a song about W.O.D, I think Drak has a soft side ladies and gentleman Edited October 3, 2006 by Lord-of-the-strings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Looks great but i am sure you promised us some blue limba pics at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oz tradie Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 The torture never stops. by Frank Zappa with Captain Beefheart nuances thrown in for good measure. Deeper than the deep blue ocean, Drak. I'm also hankering for some more all over pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Thank you all, very kind words for the Dark Master. You actually wrote a song about W.O.D, I think Drak has a soft side ladies and gentleman That's a song from Frank Zappa off of his Zoot Allures disc, a great disc it is too. OK, as promised, here's a few more pics. Rear Shot, Blue Tinted Limba-1 Rear Shot No.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoevenc Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 That's barely a burst at all. I like the way it looks, but there's not much actual bursting goin' down from what I can see. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I think the 'burst gradations are so subtle you're missing the finesse of it, but to each his own. This burst is a toner burst btw, where the base color is applied to the wood, then cleared over, then the rest is done with colors mixed into the lacquer. The other popular way is to put all your colors on the wood and clear over the whole thing. 2 methods, 2 different looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
