Jehle Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 It says "SAMPLE" on the center brace. What's up with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Fruit Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Wow, i've seen brazilian shanty towns that look better constructed and planned then that. But obviouslly, it must work. but that doesnt mean i have to like it (thankfully) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay5 Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Sweet pic! Thanks! While I realize that my Airline (its getting there ) will be a solidbody, 4 both neck it is very interesting to see how they were actually put together. I guess you have decided to attack the airline project afterall Do you plan on doing a solidbody or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrock Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Good luck JoryNad. How did the plans go, sorry I couldn't be more help before. <------Dunce Hat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoryNad Posted July 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 bah i have just drawn some stuff and have to get htem printed big, im gettgin all the supplys in the next 2 weeks, and i mean everything..my parents are paying for it! birthday present! lol and jay iv decided to make a semi hollow wood but once the body is made and routed im going to make a mould and attempt a fiberglass body b/c it would be soo much cooler! and lighter, as for the sample written on the inside i believe it was a proto type that photo is of the top halve, you can see the shittiest wiring job ever lol heres a photo of the top http://www.ronsthings.com/ry250.jpg if you correspond that with the bottom i think the neck problems clear up you can see the two bolt holes in the wood center is it just me or is that a very shallow neck joint, perhaps thsi thing had a very thin neck thats all i can speculate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikke_998 Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 check this out they are actually reproducing the airline guitar (probably a cheap copy, but at first site its not bad at all! here This is an original one: and here ikke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinner16 Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Jory, I see you have the determination to keep sight of the fiberglass "Airline" guitar, despite previouse warnings lol.... Great pics by the way. .. I hope everything works out right for your project..... Also ... I hope that you have good venting in your home..... working with fiberglass and resin will give off some nasty fumes....your parents my not be too happy with that.... not to mention the itch!!!!! Good luck..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jefm Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 well from reglassing stuff at work once you start sanding it gets into EVERYTING....a respirator is definately wise....and probably crap clothes too....Ugh.....SOOOOooooo itchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay5 Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Ikke, that is a sweet link. I wonder how much they will charge for one of those copies? Great pics though. I am a little dissapointed now that my copy (once done)wont be as unique Jory, good idea going with the wood! What did you decide to use as far as a bridge is concerned? I think Im going to do a tune-o-matic and probably a stop tail unless I can find some kind of funky trapeze piece. check this out they are actually reproducing the airline guitar (probably a cheap copy Funny thing is, the original airlines were cheap crap. If they reproduce it faithfully, they will essentially be making a crappy guitar. Hopefully they at leas upgrade the hardware and electronics. Regardless, I love em' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoryNad Posted July 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 yea im gonna go with a wooden tune-o-matic, and a trapeze tail piece for authentisity's sake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
