Drak Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 I'm keeping the Carriburst under tight wraps, I want it to be a complete surprise at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 And I am sure it will be a good one. I am even using a new bodystyle that no one has seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 In a way, I would rather not see anyone else's until they're done either, I kind of want to just be blown away when everyone posts them all at the same time, but obviously I can't stop anyone from posting progress pics if they want to.

opranks612 Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 I know this is kind of late in the game but does anyone at least have a basic carrieburst faq? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Good news and bad news. Good news: I have most of my carrie supplies, wood, bridge, fretwire. Bad news: I just got fired. I am royally pissed. At least I have time to build..... Try the search feature. Drak, and someone else both posted a semi how to.

decalshopmike Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Sorry, bit of a late comer to this - how long have we got to finish the guitars cos I quite fancy having a stab ( along with my other mad project - the worlds sickest guitar which is currently under construction - twin neck 59 LP standard flame top 6/12 anyone ??? ). Any restriction on how many necks we can put on the Carri ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Well, You can have as many necks as you want. A multi nek carrie would be new and oriinal to say the least. I'd even venture to assume it'd be killer. I'll discuss with Drak and see what he says about "noobs" in, because y'all werent here for the deadline. PS. Post that '59 6/12 over in the in progress section if ya havent already. I'd love to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decalshopmike Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 cheers, will get pics of the LP sorted out as soon as its a bit more together and ready for the cameras, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 My parts are gathering together well. My shop is ready with a new airbrush. Unfortunately My wood is 3A. Ran out of money buying tools and parts, but it is not butt ugly wood either. See y'all at the finish line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Good things. My cherry is gonna be diffy to get workin good too. Gotta bleach it, and then bring the grain back. But, I think it's gonna be fun. Now for all involved, Is there any problem letting in the new guys for the compo? If so state them, we have a couple, and we've had some drop outs (understadable ones tho). I have no qualms with it. Update: Got my first body goiun strong! Still tryin to get a new design that really knocks me out for my second one. I get my job back in 2 weeks! I picked up my last check and they made me reapply. Hell yeah I say.

Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 I also got some mad quilted maple for dirt cheap out here at my mother-in-law's.
