As far as the "speculations" are concerned, that is more of the big picture in the sentence you quoted. It mainly concerns rumors about other members that could be misleading or deemed a violation of their personal right's.

I think just about everyone should know by now that the rant section is a fairly safe place as long as it doesn't get out of hand and become a slam fest for real against another forum member.

When it comes to the third quote you mentioned, that has to deal with both the e-mail account you have presently incase somebody want's to get in touch with you as well as locations in the classifieds section. Your saying "Down Under" pretty much sums's up the fact your in Australia so no worries there.

The forum will go on moderated just as it has in the past month, the rules changing at this point shouldn't effect anyone as they were meant to go into place a few months ago to give the Administration and Moderators the ability to do their task's without question.

Which at this point has been very little anyway. A few misspelled words in thread titles corrected and a couple of post's moved.

Thanks for your patience during the recent move.

It was spooky for awhile since they moved the old data base from somewhere and lost over 5000 post's and 250+ of your memberships but all seems to be back to normal now Whew

Since Project Guitar.com is officially 1 year old this month I would first of all like to thank each and everyone of you for helping make this place what it has become today.

Project Guitar has grown in leaps and bounds over the past year and it is time the Guitar of the Month contest is handed over to all the members, so show us your axe in this thread!

An additional prize (yet to be determined) will be awarded to the one person that win's this contest in a poll to be taken starting the 22nd and ending on the 29th of this month.

Splitting the contest up into two seperate catagorys with the same prize for each.

Acoustic and electric solid body

Remember to post them here! IM's and e-mails don't count folks

This month I thought I would do something a little different so here we go

Find the cheapest guitar for sale at a fixed price!

The rules are simple:

1. It can be your own or somebody else's but it must be a legit sale advertisment on the web.

2. Classified add's in forums do not count.

3. Auctions are allowed but the price has to be the lowest available at the end of this contest so fixed price auctions and those with the lowest buy it now are the only qualifiers.

4. This contest is open to everyone!

5. In the event of a tie (lowest price) the winner will be the first one to post his/her find.

6. You must post it in this thread on the forum to win.

This contest will run till the end of the month!

The person that finds the lowest price guitar on the internet will win a magnifying headset like the one pictured below:

tsl602000 wins with a point count of 11

PM me your address bro and I'll get your prize shipped out to you next week!

Thank you for entering everyone!

This month I thought I would do something a little different so here we go

Find the August Guitar of the Month for Project Guitar!

The rules are simple:

1. It can be your own or somebody else's.

2. It must be from somebody who has not previously won Guitar of the Month.

3. It must be a one of a kind either in finish or design.

We will close the search 1 week prior to the end of the month on July 24. Then voting start's in the poll section and ends on July 30th. In the event there are more then 10 entry's there will be a vote off between the poll winners since more then one poll will be taken.

The person that found the winning "Guitar of the Month" for August will win a magnifying headset like the one pictured below:

Rule#2 edited to clear things up

It is a sad day when I have to log in to take action against forum members for slamming outside of the Soap Box Stand where it is allowed, much less each other but today this has happened.

VH-guitarstore had been warned for previous offense's against the rules of the forum and has had more than one post edited for breaking rules in the past.

Instead of taking matters into his own hands down in this thread, he should have reported an offense against himself to either a moderator or myself.

Personally I thought he was coming around with the realization this site is about educating others on how to do it yourself but with complaints from more then one forum member about his actions I have no other choice but to ban him.

LGM Guitars has not had any complaints sent to the moderators or myself but a public display of dispute towards another member of the forum clearly breaks rule 3.

3. There will be no flaming, derogatory remarks, slamming or ill expressed comments tolerated pertaining to forum members, different makes and models of guitars that they own or are working on, or web sites and their content owned or represented by Project Guitar. (The Old Golden rule applies, if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all) The exception to this rule is posting in the Soap Box section of the forum where you can say anything you like including negative comments on any issue.

From here on out any member caught breaking any of the forum rules will not only be given a warning via PM which was done in the past to the banned member, they will also be issued the following badge for 5 days so that any of the moderators off duty and other forum members know without further action

Personally I'm a very passive administrator but continued complaint's, IM's, phone calls and e-mails made it impossible not to take further action against both party's involved in this matter.

And the winner is LGM Guitars!

Don't worry folks the neck will be back up as he has already told me he is going to do something special to it then return it for another contest

BTW to the folks that though Project Guitar.com had just about every tutorial on the net already Look here

Ok everyone has visited the supply page at least once.

At the end of this contest I will be splitting up the supply section into the 9 different groups currently listed so this months contest is to find suppliers not currently listed!

Here is how you score points!

You get 1 point for every category the supplier falls into but you must also list the category's with the link see example below:

Stew Mac- Guitar Kits and Supplies, Hardware Supplies Direct, Inlay Supplies, Paint and Finishing Supplies, Tool Supplies (this would count as 5 points)

Suppliers that fit into the Specialty Supplies section count as 5 points each since they only manufacture or supply 1 item.

Your Points double if they ship worldwide and you tell us in your post!

Your links must be to the home page of the supplier and not currently listed on the supply page anywhere.

The winner of this contest will receive this handy boxed toolset shipped anywhere in the world as their prize:

Winner to be announced soon (soon as I go through all the links and weed out the links already featured).

Received an E-mail from somebody that has prompted me to place a warning label on this page.

After I have investigated it, the link will either go back to it's original description or be deleted.

If anyone has a problem with a vendor, please feel free to E-mail me or post the problem in the Soap Box Stand which is the original reason that section was created (so people could find out about problem places before dealing with them on a first hand basis).

Yes I know I'm late so this one will be for both April and May!

So let's get started and everyone hit your bookmark folder and search engines again. What your looking for this time? Build sites and tutorial sites of course!

The old basic rule's apply:

1. The site must not be listed currently on Project Guitar.com

2. Post only the home page website address of your entry

3. First to post a site claims it for the point count.

4. You must post which catagory the link will fit in to.

Now on to the prize, just about the most common problem people come up with when working on a guitar doing a custom job for the first time is they don't take the time to practice and experiment on something else first!

Even I use an old beater neck to practice on as pictured here!

The winner will get a new neck to practice on so you don't have to trash your own! It is factory finished with some of the toughest stuff I have ever run across so you can even practice removing finishes!

Contest deadline is May 31st but remember rule 3

As some of you may have noticed there are a few changes to the forum this morning/afternoon/evening depending where you are located

We will be going through a few minor and one major change in the very near future, here are a few of the things you can look forward to:

You can now use the "Fast Reply" Feature located at the bottom of each thread!

The "Soap Box Section" Has been renamed and has new rules posted for that section only.

The Basic Forum Membership Rules are in the process of being re-written so issue's may be resolved easily and safely. There will be a post titled "New Rules" When this has been finalized. These should help keep this a civil and safe place where you can still learn and have fun.

A Complete New Catagory and Forum Section will be open soon for Spanish Speaking friends.

:o Ok BeAR I can appreciate and respect that, I thought you were trying to get points in this contest and wasn't aware of that............

And now back to our regularly scheduled thread...........

The rules :

1. It must be a site that is either useful in the modification, building or repairing of acoustic guitars and you should post where you think the site should go in the Project Guitar website.

4. Home page links only- in other words 10 links that tell different things all from the same main website to boost your score isn't an option. They would and will count as 1.

Ahemmmm

Well with the recent holidays in the past I can get back to working on the tutorials.

Sorry about the delay folks, I know some of you are looking forward to the full neck scalloping tutorial as well as the full length guitar set up tut. Each of these should be completed by the end of this week hopefully.

For a sneek peek at the set up tut you can click here!

No word lately on the forum members that were working on inlay and paint tutorials, hopefully those will show up soon as well so we can start to drool over the new stuff and figure out which one we want to attemp first

This month I will also be looking into the acoustic world for the new section which should be online sometime in the near future, in the mean time if you have any building site's related to acoustic guitars please post them in the December Contest thread and Thank You in advance for doing so!

Just by the looks alone, I would think it's a 22 or 21............

Don't know if this will help but the average distance from the 21st fret to where the string touches the bridge saddle on a Strat style guitar is generally 7-3/4"
