Prostheta Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Tight Matt, tight. I hogged out a pretty rough channel for the quick connect and almost brought it too close to the pickup screw mounting. Duh! Keep it up man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert_the_damned Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 dear lord I think I've fallen into a parallel universe where Matt has nearly finnished something!!! DUN DUN DAHHHH!!! sorry for that couldn't help myself ooo actually this may be a parallel universe I now have a beard since last time I was active on these boards *creeps himself out* That Purpleheart-8string-superstrat looks amazing. The shape is just spot on, it looks metal but in a subtle way. Looking forward to some sound clips, bet it sounds better than it looks (ment in a good way!) I think I'll leave it there before you come and crush me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Somehow Matt is posting to the board without a PC too. DUN DUN DAHHHH!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthus Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 ooo actually this may be a parallel universe I now have a beard since last time I was active on these boards *creeps himself out* Butbutbut.... your avatar is so babyfaced I can't picture it with a full-on beard! Funny that; I just decided to trim the goatee and grow one out myself. I tell people I put in the conscious effort to do it, but it's really just a way to explain away my week+ of being too lazy to shave. Somehow Matt is posting to the board without a PC too.
