mushy the shroom

Wow, very professional looking, and the shape definitely works for me. But why a two-piece maple cap as if it were bookmatched when it's not (unless I'm blind)? I would have just gone one-piece.

I must have had one of their guitars from before the company got good, a G210. It generally played better than most Squiers and what have you, but one of the bridge posts started tearing out of the wood because it was placed too close to the edge of a route and it just splintered all the wood around it. And I didn't even use the trem often. Maybe I had it set up wrong, but some wood glue fixed that right up. Some of their guitars look pretty unique, which is interesting from a Korean company, and I've heard good things about their hollowbody line (or maybe that was Ibanez).

Wait a minute.. I think I have it figured out. I suppose I would have to use multiple poles, right? I'm pretty sure I can manage it now, I just have to wrap my brain around it so that I don't accidentaly wire it all together so that all of the combinations are parallel.

Hey guys, I feel kind of stupid asking this, as it's probably really obvious, but I can't find the solution anywhere. Plus I took a class in electronics last year. But here goes: I am planning on wiring a two-humbucker guitar, with one master volume, one master tone, and a five position rotary switch. It's this kind of switch, only with fewer poles (actually only two, as it will simultaneously control fret marker colors). I want a rotary switch so I can put a knob on it and it will look uniform with the tone and volume.. shouldn't be much more trouble to turn it. I want the positions to map as follows (from left to right positions, or vice-versa, doesn't really matter): Kill Switch (I guess, just wire to ground, easy enough?) Neck Humbucker Only Both Humbuckers in Parallel Bridge Humbucker Only Kill Switch (why not?) Now ordinarily I would know how to wire it with a Les Paul type switch, like this, but with a rotary switch, I have no idea how to get the two in parallel for the middle position (the Les Paul switch appears to work differently, like with leaf type internals). Anyone help? Am I a complete dolt or is this really easy?

Man that thing is killer. Glad to see you got the neck working. I kind of wish you had some higher-res photos of it.. if there's a problem with Photoshop, we could easily host them on Drastic-Creations (Static-Line's old host). And.. for your GOTM entry it seems that a few of the images don't display.

UPDATE: I just got back from the vacation, and the daily journal was a hit! I had a lot of fun updating it, and thank all of you for your support. Keep looking for more (normal) updates in the future!

Pete, thanks for the feedback. Actually, the idea of stranger's pockets is incredible. I might just do that every once in a while. Still lookin' forward to that negative.. Ryan

Hey all, Thanks for all the feedback on TWIRP (although I truly wish more of it were negative). I am almost done with my vacation, and as promised, have been updating daily from my Pocket PC on random stolen WiFi. So I thought I'd check in from Bozeman, Montana, where I have set up my own network off of the hotel's in-room wired ethernet using some dated access point I purchased for a song in Oregon. Fun times. Cheers, all

I suppose they might be useful for recording or whatnot if you have a really dynamic volume or tone knob, just so you can keep settings consistant. But in my opinion, they're just more metal to cover your quilted maple

Hey all, announcing the rebirth of TWIRP - This Week In Ryan's Pockets, my blog. Recently I converted it to CSS so I could update the layout easier, as well as create skins (the skin selector is at the bottom of the "Links" section (red), or you can just click the header image to try a random skin). The best way to access it is through: www.twirp.tk although going through that domain messes up the skin selector in Internet Explorer (by the way, it is best viewed in anything but IE, because IE doesn't support CSS standards.. and just kinda sucks ) So I'm looking for some feedback, layout-wise (even content-wise), and you guys seem to be pretty critical of websites, so I'm looking forward to it. As a side note, all the graphics (except some header graphics that I bummed off Digital Blasphemy) and layout sheets/scripts are original. Some background info: I launched TWIRP a little over half a year ago, as a comedy blog based off the idea that the contents of my pockets might reflect events in the news, or.. just be funny to talk about. The result of some complications, I failed to update it for over four months (and even before that the updates were few and far apart). But I plan to change that with the re-release. In fact, I'm going on vacation next week and am planning to keep a daily diary with photos of my trip on TWIRP. So any feedback, positive or negative would help quite a bit. Thanks!

Here's the thing.. the link you're trying to display as an image using the forum's IMG tags isn't really an image. It's a web page with an image embedded (kind of like what you're trying to do here).. even though it ends in .jpg (if you access it though your album), that's just part of the script used to sort your albums. Yahoo may do that so the only bandwidth you consume is through there site (not with simply an image displayed on another site as you're trying to do).. So you have several options.. you could either hunt for the actual image file (named 1654scd.jpg) in wherever Yahoo actually stores it (although direct access might be restricted), and just link there.. it would work if there are no ? marks or = signs (indicating it's not part of a script). Actually, I just tried this by linking to http://f3.yahoofs.com/users/41a88ad9z7bb81...sr_/1654scd.jpg , which should make sense, but.. surprise! forbidden. So in short, Ben's solution is the best.. new account with photobucket, and of course you can transfer your old photos.

Hey Hey! Not at all bad.. although it looks a little template-ish (which is fine, but geeks like me like more of a self-built thing).. I would change the font up, it gets quite hard to read, and "welcome" on the first page is spelled wrong (wellcome). Other than that, I'd generally refrain from the clipart and random pictures on the "about the guitars" page, as it is a tad unprofessional. You know, other than that, if this is the first time you've made a website, it's quite impressive! Cheers!

Hey, it looks nice, but it's not really my thing (or many others' apparently) to finish other guitars. If I were you, I would keep it for a while, you never know if you're going to want a project in the future (I'm a bit starved for work nowadays and wish I had something to work on). So, if no one is immediately interested, don't push it and keep lowering your price.. I'd hold on to it.
