Matia Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 Hi simon... I how was sydney? I'm from manchester uk originally but now live between here and melbourne! Listen just a favour... I've been desperately trying to find out how to do the swirl effect like on your guitar! ( Which looks excellent by the way ). Any chance you could give me a few pointers? Cool boots man! player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregP Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Absolutely spectacular. And the guitar is amazing, too! I was referring, of course, to the shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLS Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Damn, thats a nice axe! The color scheme is excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivin Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Ive never liked the Jem inlays, both in shape, or the colours that everyone seems to use (call me old fashioned ), but the blue swirl finish is amazing! I love that a lot! Good work man! Also, why do people never put the rear trem cavity cover on? Or do they just take it off to show off their neat cavities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLS Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 because floyd roses are a pain in the butt. I used to leave my cavity cover on but after about 3 months i just kept it off because when i ever iw ant to change tuning i have to adjust the springs.
