    Almost done....fine sand and light coat ,all that is left. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff185/r.../P1290911-1.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff185/r...ds/P1300912.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff185/r...ds/P1300914.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff185/r...ds/P1300916.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff185/r...ds/P1300917.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff185/r...ds/P1300921.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff185/r...ds/P1290909.jpg

    Here are some pic's Drek http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff185/r...ds/P1290907.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff185/r...ds/P1290911.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff185/r...ds/P1290908.jpg I don't have time to play with you right now,I have to take my ball and go now.Maybe later.I'am sure your way of doing veneer is just fine.It's putting down another guy's way I have a problem with.Show me this show me that ,you would never use it if I or anyone else did so why waste my time.Now go have fun with my pic's.

    Nice work ...when you hit it with a top coat ,that stuff is going to pop.It is looking real good,glad to see the wood going to good use.keep up the good work !!!! looking forward to more pics....this mite make GOTM.

    Don't worry I have faith in your process......I do it different from both of you and mine comes out fine.Some people think there is only one way to do things....their way ,and the person asking does not have a clue because they have never done it.I don't use a ton of clamps and let it set over night .So just so as to not screw up the flow of infomation ,I'll just leave it at that.Just do it your way for you and let the other guy take two days for a one day job.Here is a example for you if you need it. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff185/r...er/P1030711.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff185/r...er/P1030713.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff185/r...er/P1030712.jpg Oh,and by the way I just had Teisco Del Ray sign it ,and he said he liked the guitar ....good enough for me.

    Let's see a pic of the lam ,on the body.How is it turning out?

    Thats why you don't ever send cash in the mail I know,but sometimes i just forget how people can be.To make matters worse...he works in a bank, so a check would have been fine.What ya gona do ,that's life.

    Just sent my son in Alaska his birthday card, with cash in it ,it's been over two weeks and still has not received it.Regular snail mail.So just goes to show ,it's a risk no matter who you use.They will get a complaint soon,and I hope someone is caught.Alaska is real bad for not recieving your mail, or someone else getting it first.Sign of the times I guess.

    They were at NAMM, I was going to get them to sign something for all of you ,but the line of young kids was to long.I did get a big smile on my face tho,thought of this topic when I walked by.
  10. Dean
    Did you get your package?you should have it by now.
  11. Dean
    It's called MONEY.....if someone can package it and sell it ,you get it ...if you like it or not.Alot of times lately it has nothing to do with skill.There are bands out there that have pros do the stuido work...to keep the cost down.Then in concert they sound like crap,but they sell the cd's.And of course the target cd and ticket buyers do not know the differents ,they just have to be flavor of the month,year etc.Some of the best players ,just do not have the target age group.If they sell they play ,if not they don't.MONEY,MONEY ,MONEY.

    Ebay is a nice way to get burned. Don't buy wood from someone you don't know on the internet. I think he was suggesting that the people who got my wood might sell it on ebay. I already thought about that and checked out ebay but didn't find anything. EDIT: hmmmm I just realized I have not yet received the padauk fingerboard you sent me Jon. I hope this is not becoming a trend... Yes ,that is what I was refering to,but thanks Jon for the heads up.

    I did something like that with a amp.....I was going to see my builder and my 1 watt amp,I could not get any sound out of....I felt like everything was working ,but no sound.He takes it from me and plugs the cord in the right hole,I felt like 2 inches high and started laughing.needless to say he fixed it right away.hahaha We still get a kick out of that one.I was plugging the cord in the out, That diamond plate is looking better then I thought it would.That is still a cool little guitar.
  14. Dean
    Thanks for posting that. I have an old Alvarez acoustic with a fingerboard just like that. I was going to take a pic of it, but now I don't have to. Strings, fingers, whatever. If a rosewood board gets worn like that, a spruce board would get ground to mush. Mine belonged to a old redneck preacher man who must have wrung the fear of god out of the thing. The frets are worn almost all the way thru the crown in places. I found the tip of a rattlesnake tail inside, as well. Can I get a AMEN !!!!!

    Just for the heck of it ....look on Ebay...maybe someone is selling some cheep wood....but for the life of me ,if I recieved some wood out of the blue,I would check the address and return it.It is not like something just anyone would want.Glad your getting a replacement tho.Still the frustration has to be a pain.
  16. Dean
    Yhea , this one flows much better ,even with the red pickup....blends right in.I liked the blue on the other one,it just got a little busy with all the other colors.+1 on the steer head.....Texas being my home state....my great ,great ,grandfather was a Texas Ranger after the civil war.
  17. Dean
    That's a great piece of wood for the body......but ,the chrome ,blue ,black,and red take away from the over all flow of the guitar.If I'am not mistaken you just put a Warmoth (or premade ) neck on it.It is still a cool guitar,just think it could be tricked out a little more,for such a great body.IMO at least take the wood to the head stock.
  18. Dean
    Really nice bodys ....beautiful wood.....What type of custom necks go with the body.....are you carring the body wood thu to the neck or headstock.I would love to see the neck ,body combo.And hardware ,too if you have one completed.Really nice.
  19. Dean
    It was sent out and you should recieve it 1/14/08.....by UPS... So be looking for it then.Good luck on your project.Look forward to the pic's.There mite be a little extra in the package ,to play with.So have fun and enjoy.
  20. Dean
    In that case maybe just ask the people around your area,being so close to Christmas maybe they did not look at the address ,and are trying to figure out who would send them wood.Just hope it will turn up for you....Like I said I do feel your pain.If you can always have them ask for a sig. when shipping.Good luck.

    I sent a bycycle to my son in Alaska ,and they delivered it to the wrong person and he signed for it and keep it.So my son tracked him down and got it back all put together.Check and see if it got signed for.
  22. Dean
    The suspects are usually someone you know or who know you...hope they know how to use it anyway.Sorry for your loss tho,I do feel your pain.
  23. Dean
    Man ,your lines are truly amazing......I love the way this is coming out.Let us know how it sounds when finshed.The art of a well made guitar is self evident.
  24. Dean
    +1 on the end grain
  25. Dean
    It's not to late ,but I would do it ,and if you don't want to build for a living ...find a buyer in the bizz.That is what Ed Roman did or does ,he buys other peoples ideas and puts his name on them ....for worse I mite add...just an example.
