soapbarstrat Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 I love how you follow up your very own negative false claims with a warning to us all. Great stuff! *You* don't specifically have anything to do what what I was referring to, even though it seems you wish you did, when you included the word 'personally'. "They" are : 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? Do you know what your staunch views on this matter tells me? It tells me that you have no pride in your work. If you're fine with sending out a sub-par guitar, even if it's never associated with you or your name and no one ever knows, then you just have no self respect, especially when it comes to your building. And I'd like to add, as far as the "I get it", "you don't get it" statements go. No I don't believe in that kind of voodoo, where there's some kind of guitar building God who is appeased by the burning ritual. At least it comes across like that. And I'm amused at how you ignore my thoughts about re-using the wood, and can only think I'm saying to finish every guitar build, no matter what. There's a local artist who asked me to give her any instruments that are so far gone, they can't be played. Because she turns them into art projects. I have not done that yet. Haven't had anything that far gone. I even played in a band with a guitar I had smashed into at least 20 pieces and rebuilt. Played and sounded fine after I put it back together years later. Did not look super great. My ear is not so good that I can pick up how a guitar looks on recordings. Quote Link to comment
marksound Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 This thread is ridiculous. Pointless. A waste of bandwidth. Please, continue! Quote Link to comment

fryovanni Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) Please don't read too much into what I am saying here. It is just my personal opinion, and I believe everyone has the right to agree aor disagree. FWIW. On a more serious note; Big Sitka Blows down in Oregon.-The Story Do you figure the state is going to turn that into firewood or pulp?

MiKro Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 I sure wish you would leave that poor Horse alone. He's just trying to sleep off a hard night of Hops and Barley. mk Quote Link to comment
westhemann Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 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? That was a long time ago.I can't recall why I said that,but I believe it stemmed from some discussion years ago in the Adult Language Section which doesn't exist anymore....something about SS frets being somehow softer or inferior compared to standard nickel...and another discussion about hanging guitars on the wall somehow being a horrible thing to do...It just seemed at the time that you would make up any "fact" out of thin air to support your claims that were unsupportable in any other manner. But I have been "over" that for a looong time now. Quote Link to comment
soapbarstrat Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 It's from when drak claimed to smash a tele body because the dye didn't look right and I told him he was nuts. And I only posted that quote here, because mr. myka was clueless about what I was refering to in another thread. Sorry if it comes across like I'm trying to re-open an old wound. That's not what I'm trying to do. Quote Link to comment
marksound Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I think we've gone completely off-topic, so to get us back on track ... If you sit very still you can hear the wood scream. Quote Link to comment
westhemann Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Sorry if it comes across like I'm trying to re-open an old wound. That's not what I'm trying to do. Don't worry about it.honestly,after reading the quote from myself,I think I was extremely harsh... Quote Link to comment
Drak Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 that smiley is great - could come in very usefull I stole it from marksound, hope he didn't mind. On a lighter note...I made my peace with soapbar last new years eve here on the forum, wished him well, and have never said a negative word against him since that day, I buried my hatchet and buried it remains .

marksound Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 that smiley is great - could come in very usefull I stole it from marksound, hope he didn't mind. I don't mind. I stole them from someone else. In fact, here's a couple more. Quote Link to comment
soapbarstrat Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Can't you switch the horse with a guitar ? And then I'd like one that has a guy beating the guy who is beating the guitar. We could really make these debates quick and efficient that way. Quote Link to comment

soapbarstrat Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Boy oh boy, maybe that's supposed to mean you interpret my last post as being hostile, but it wasn't, and I'm surprised if it's seen that way. Quote Link to comment
westhemann Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Maybe we should just all give it a rest for a few days...let everyone step back a little?I think everyone is fully understood now? Quote Link to comment
Myka Guitars Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 No, soapbar, I didn't interpret any hostility. I thought your last post was pretty funny actually. We're cool, I was just having some fun. In retrospect I can imagine how anything any of us might say could get misinterpreted at this point so I think Wes has the best idea. See you in the build threads. ~David Quote Link to comment

westhemann Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 What's up with the dork in the hat?Is nobody real anymore,or is it all just an act for money? Quote Link to comment
soapbarstrat Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I'll tell ya what, them guys is gonna make some bad-ass looking Guitar Center salesmen when they're 40 Quote Link to comment
Setch Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I confidently predict that at 40 they'll still be touring and enjoying exactly the same critical and commercial success they do today. Perhaps. Quote Link to comment
westhemann Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I just don't see it,Setch...I have seeen alot of bands make it to 40 and still have success,but I don't believed Avenged Sevenfold have strong enough writing skills for that...it just comes across as fluff to me. Maybe it's just me,but they seem like just another "Jackal". Only time will tell I guess.I mean,who would have thought in the 80s that Slayer and Exodus would outlast Motley Crue and Tesla?I guess in the end talent wins over image. Quote Link to comment
avengers63 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I mean,who would have thought in the 80s that Slayer and Exodus would outlast Motley Crue and Tesla?I guess in the end talent wins over image. I would argue against Tesla being an "image" band. I always thought they had pretty good musicianship. What probably held them back a little was that they were too metal to be mainstream rock, but not metal enough to be fully accepted by the metal crowd. It seemed at the time that there was no place for straight-forward rock bands. I'm put Georgia Satellites & Black Crowes in the came category with Tesla. Quote Link to comment
Setch Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 *Sigh* Dry humour really doesn't translate over the internets does it? Quote Link to comment
soapbarstrat Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Haha I thought you were serious too. Then I looked at the pic again, and thought "ah ha, the hairstyle on the lower guy is definitely British". Just messin' with ya. Quote Link to comment
