Is there anywhere I can find prices online for these things? or do we have to ring someone in Thailand to find out? - Dan

That guy has been trying to offload one of his guitars on Aus. Ebay too. His english and knowledge of how to market an expensive guitar was very poor, and to top it off, the guitar looked a bit sus. On the surface it looked great, but some things about it were just weird...like for such an amazing instrument (supposedly) with master craftsmanship, why was there obvious epoxy all around the inlay on the headstock? I dunno... but I wouldnt buy one. I'll see if i can dig up the listing. - Dan Edit: After looking over that website, the guitars there seem much nicer than the one I saw on Ebay...

It's generally a pretty good rule that if Google doesn't know about it, then it doesn't exist - Dan

I may be wrong, but I thought signature images werent allowed? Either way, welcome to the forum dude, I am from Brisbane too - Dan

Damnit! I tried doing a search to see if this had come up before but i found nothing! Ahh well We all seem to love beating a dead horse here anyway I'm fine if a mod wants to close this down now though, its of no real consequence. Cheers, - Dan

Haha yeah, there is some great ones on there isn't there I've wasted an awful lot of time there, and god knows I could use the distraction at the moment! - Dan

His name is Jake Shimabukuro - Very cool stuff http://spikedhumor.com/Article.aspx?id=717 http://www.spikedhumor.com/articles/2178/M...ele_Skills.html Enjoy! - Dan

AWESOME! Dude, you HAVE to tell me where I can get my hands on a pair of those - Dan

I'm loving the shapes you've chosen so far - I cant wait to see the body and neck together! Keep up the good work, - Dan
-
Thats looks amazing dude! My only question is, the 1st and 6th strings come out of/through the nut at a pretty savage angle... does that come into play at all seeing as you've got the Kahler on there? Still, great work... looks excellent. - Dan

I really don't know if this is correct or helpful at all, but if your looking for small things on the cheap, cant you get like some sort of metal baseplate that you put under single coil pickups to give them a bit more oomph? Surely that would be cheap? - Dan Edit: I had a quick dig to see if I could find what I was thinking of. I didn't really find what I was hoping for, but I did find this: http://www.acmeguitarworks.com/Fralin-Baseplate-P217C0.aspx

Any chance you could try and remember what that was dude? I know we have Blackwood Acacia as to Acacia Koa, but is there actually some variety of Koa thats here in Australia? - Dan

Don't say I didn't warn you about them! I guess they may not all be bad, but my experience with them has been horrible - Dan

Tonal Qualities Of Victorian Ash
Jivin replied to octafish's topic in Solidbody Guitar and Bass Chat
Maton use Victorian Ash as tops for their Mastersound 2000 DLX SD models, but I am not certain that they are thick tops, they may just be veneers? Might be worth a look or a phonecall or something. - Dan -
Nah, you just can't go past tiger eye Maybe even with a little burst on the edge ala PRS: http://www.willcuttguitars.com/details.asp?stock_id=2289 http://www.willcuttguitars.com/details.asp?stock_id=1476 - Dan

Thats a fair point actually.... I mean, I got used to it, but I always found that Gibraltar III bridge to feel a bit weird, I imagine its due to the different shape around the posts area... its a little bulkier than your averate tune-o-matic. - Dan

I have had nothing but good experience with the higher level SZ's, so I can definitely recommend those, however I've had absolutely no experience with the Schecter's, so I cant really compare. - Dan

Happy Birthday Perry!
Jivin replied to Hunter's topic in Site Feedback, Issue Reporting and Test area
Ha As far as I know he is closer to Freo, but from memory he doesn't follow the footy. Makes little difference anyway, because the eagles are going down to the swans next week so I can make some moulah Happy Birthday Perry; I can't think of a better gift I can give you but the joy you will get from promptly completing and sending me camo - Dan -
Plans are useless if the war (gotm) is over before they are finished - Dan

I dunno, I always kinda liked abalone dots. They are classy without being over the top. Mother of pearl dots are a bit too boring for me, but the paua abalone ones are just pure class I might have gone with smaller dots though is all. - Dan

I'm not from America There are places in the world where the general stores don't sell firearms, beleive it or not Is Tru-Oil common outside the states? does it go by a different name elsewhere? - Dan

Right next to the what now?

I got some of that stuff with my last string order. It's a little bit misleading actually, because with the coated strings like the Elixir's you just throw them on and away you go, and if you wipe them down afer playing they will last ages (well at least that is my experience with acoustic strings), however the Extra String Life bottle stipulates that you need to "use before and after playing for enhanced string life". I did it for a while, but I just couldn't be bothered in the end. Thats most likely just my lazyness, but considering they say its a polymer coating that binds itself to the string or whatever, I was expecting something different. I cannot say I have really noticed a big difference in string life either, from the amount I have applied so far. - Dan
