    A raven is also called a crow. A flock of crows is called a murder. Therefore, we have a murder of Corvi.

    HEY! ...Leave the Marauder out of this, OK? Don't be hatin'!!! I have a mahogany LP blank with a florentine cutaway and 3 Marauder pups (H-S-S) waiting for the right time to be made into a high-end Marauder.

    The tearout is very small. You could probably get away with sanding it smooth. You'd probably be the only one to notice it without an in-depth inspection.

    No, please..... Hijack away.

    Almost there......

    I made a trip to Lowes this afternoon. I picked up some brass threaded inserts for the neck, some machine screws, and some aluminum bushings for the body. It's definitely going to be a bolt-on now. I wanted the neck inserts so I could really bear down on them and secure the neck in place since there's only about 2" of space to work with.

    And y'all should be really dang jealous. I get a mental hard-on every time I use them.

    I can get new Kahler fixed bridges on eBay for around $95-$110. Is that the normal retail price? Why is because of the way I did the neck pocket. It's 100% design and nothing else. I only have about 2" of glue space on the heel. Had I extended a small ledge from the body everything would have been fine. I suppose I COULD use some 1" wood screws and bolt it on with washers instead of ferrules. Thinking about it for a minute, I think that's what I'll do. Lemme think about it for a bit.

    It is categorically impossible to improve on the magnificence that is the Corvus.

    If I was going to spend that much on a bridge, I'd get a Kahler. At the point I'm at in the "finish it up" stage, I can say conclusively that this would have worked MUCH better as a neck-through.
  14. avengers63
    I agree that, while this one is serviceable, the bridge could use an upgrade. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with this one, but a Gotoh would certainly be better. I've bought hardware from Bezdez before; it's all low end junk. I still use them for bindings and the occasional inlay, but not for anything else anymore.

    The brand-spanking-new pickups, along with the body, neck, and p/g blank. The pups are short blade HBs mounted in jazzmaster covers. "I need to do some cutting and routing, but first I need a template" he said, turning towards his beloved scrollsaw. Minutes later.... And so here we have the pickguard template with pups & electronics in place. And a view of the back.

    Pick up any tricks spraying this one that you'll incorporate into the next one? It's hard to say. I sprayed the yellow Iceman basically at the same time, so I think I'll see how that one turns outbefore trying to think about tweaks in the process.

    I got a pile of stuff in the mail today. Most notably, the pups RAD made for this beast. Major updates soon......

    I mostly sprayed some name-brand lacquer from Lowes/Home Depot. When I did the leveling wetsand, I sanded through in a couple of places (exactly what I expected) so I toughed-up the black and topped it off with a couple coats of leftover automotive lacquer.
  19. avengers63
    The new spray system seems to be working out OK......

    If you're ever in the market for a strat set, hit him up for some blades. The ones he made for me are as hot and raunchy as a P90, but with all of the normal strat bite and twang.
  21. avengers63
    Hmmmm. I must hit him up for a set of buckers, out of phase to each other. real screamers. Scott: I have three sets of pups from RAD. They're all a$$-kickers. I'm positive you won't be disappointed. PAUL: Yes, DO hit him up. You won't be wasting your money.

    I like the idea of a black burst around the edges, so long as it goes over the sides onto the back like a Firebird.
  23. avengers63
    I'm your huckleberry. Unless you think shipping would make it cost prohibitive.
  24. avengers63
    Thanks Colin baker was HORRIBLE, but the one after him - Sylvester McCoy - was great. Then there's the new series that's been coming out for the last few years. Those have been phenomenal.

    I passed up Romana AND Tom Baker a few weeks ago. I'm smack in the middle of Peter Davison with Teegan and Nyssa.
