I had to vote for dave's RG. First off, he has built so many nice guitars, i feel it's his turn for a GOTM. If he get's it, it's very well deserved. Hope i don't jinx it. I'm a sucker for the levithian, but i just think that Dave deserves it, not like LGM doesn't, but correct me if i'm wrong, LGM already has one, and i'd rather see them each with one than LGM with 2. Nothing personal. Maybe it's because of the help that Dave gave me on an LED project i'm working on, his willingness to help a stranger was amazing. That mushroom guitar is also WICKED, and the EVH paintjob was also very well done. Matt's was also very nice, i just don't like that body shape(his other guitars rock) The warlock was also very well done. And that V is very good quality work as well. Great axes this month, keep up the mind-blowing work, and props to Dave on getting my vote. neal

25 CENTS FOR CHUMBAWUMBA!!! WHAT A RIPOFF

VOX WAH GONE!!! THX STREAMLINE!!!! I'm gonna miss the pedal, so you better care for it well. Later fellas. Neal

yes it is

I think you are the most underrated guitar builder on this forum. From what i have seen, you make superb guitars, and judging by the way you continue to make them, i guess they must play at least decently well. Have you considered making guitars for customers? I would be interested in possibly commissioning some work from you if you would be interested, and when i have some money. Keep up the quality work. Neal

my digicam is pretty much dead, but i'll see what i can do. The fretboard appears to be rosewood, and is faded/worn in between the frets, which are beat. The back of the neck is painted the same sickening blue as the back of the neck. The body is painted a disgusting blue color, and it is the worst paintjob in the world, so refinishing is almost a necessity. I believe the body is plywood, and the top is carved, not flat. It appears that there was some sort of stain under the paint, so there might be something nice under there, but im not making any guarantees. All the covers are there, and i have the parts somewhere. Let me know if you're interested. I'll get pics ASAP, but that might not be for a while. Neal EDIT: THE RG550 and SR400 are GONE!!!!

Streamline, looks like shipping's gonna be about 15 bucks. Tell me if you're still interested. Neal

sho is' I've been trying to find a price quote for shipping, but i'm not really awake and it's eluding me. I'll have one for ya by the end of the day. Neal

Ok, bluespresence has dibs on the 550 and SR400, and Primal and Executioner are second in line for the items. Streamline is first in line on the Vox pedal (shipping estimate in the works) I'll let you guys know if anything falls through. Thanks for the interest. Neal EDIT: And Metal Matt has dibs on the LP copy

pics can be seen at: http://community.webshots.com/user/nsherman2006 The blur on the side of the rg550 is just a reflection, yes i do have all the parts to the Gibson copy, i just threw a few on there for effect. I will ship worldwide, and i'll get a quote for the wah Streamline. Feel free to make offers on anything you like. Thanks for the interest. Neal

ok, answer time. Yes, i'm in America; Brooklyn, CT to be exact (06234). Pictures will be taken and posted tomorrow(hopefully). I will ship anywhere in the world(I've sent more packages out of this country than i have sent inside this country), but you guys have to pay postage. If you have any other questions, please email, PM, or post a reply. Thanks all, and have a wonderful holiday. Neal

i'm sorry, i should have been more clear. I was going to use the parts, but decided to spring for brand new parts. So i still have the parts. I'll try to get pics ASAP, but i have a choral concert today, so it might be tomorrow. Thanks for the interest. Neal

Matt, most of the parts are at school right now, in the wood shop (i was planning on using them) but i do have the body and the neck here. I'll get pics soon. Also, if you're only interested in certain parts, tell me, and maybe we can work something out. Neal

Hi. I've got tons of stuff to clear out. If you see anything here you are interested in, send me an email at nealgolf88@hotmail.com and i'll get you some pics. Here goes: GONE Ibanez RG120, red, HH, stock neck pu, bridge was replaced with what i was told was a dimarzio (looks and sounds like one, but i can't confirm.) Maple neck and fretboard. Fender-style trem. It has a few dings(one large one on the back, but it plays very well, and is in pretty good overall shape. I'm not sure what year it is, but if anyones interested, i'll get it out of the closet and check. $175.00 GONE Digitech RP2000. Works well, the pedal is a little loose but still perfectly functional. AC adapter included. $100.00 GONE Harmony LP copy. Currently in parts, but they're all there. Grover tuners, Dimarzio bridge pickup(older) Frets are very worn, and the guitar needs refinishing. $60.00 GONE Gibson Les paul case, brown w/ pink lining, All latches work, and combo lock works as well. Lock is screwed in, and screws protrude into accessory pocket. Smaller screws could be used, but the case is in excellent shape. $50.00 Musicians friend case. Black, economy line case, w/fur inside. All latches work. $35.00 ESP bass case, beat to crap. Stickers all over, and whatever coating they put on it is flaking off. Terrible shape, but it's better than nothing. All latches work(i think) 15.00 If you see anytthing you like, email for pics. Make me an offer, because this stuff needs to GO!!! Neal

It's a SAGA strat kit, no veneer, just ugly wood. I don't like spraying, as i'm no good at it, so i guess it'll either be a colored stain, just a matte finish, or a dye over sanding sealer, and we'll see how it looks. Im ready to do lots o' sandin Anybody got any hints on how to color epoxy? Thanks. Neal PS: Algee, that body looks real nice. Keep up the good work

Hi. I am working on a SAGA strat copy kit right now, and i would like to refinish it. I have already stained it, but the stain had a few scratches, so i sanded it off. Then, i found out that this has the worst sanding sealer on it, so i just painted it. I suck at painting, and the job sucked, so iwant to sand it down, strip the paint, and dye the body blue. I have the LMII blue dye, and i am getting satin poly for the neck and body. However, i am guessing that i will need to put down a sanding sealer before i dye the guitar because of the uneven sealer already on the body. Is this correct? Also, there is a small flaw in the headstock that i feel gives the guitar some character, but i would like the headstock to be flat, so i want to fill it with colored epoxy. Could i just add a little of the LMII dye to the epoxy and mix it in? Thanks. Neal

I'll take it. PM me with your preferred payment method and i'll get the money out ASAP. Neal

any more info on the acoustic case? Also, how much on the two strats? thanks. Neal

What scale? Pre-slotted? Pre-radiused? I'm very interested in your offer, but need a little more info. Thanks. Neal

i may inlay it, but i could always use the fretboard itself as a reference to make the radius block, instead of buying one, so i would still be interested in what you guys have, radiused or not. Neal

Ok, this is it. I'm not talking about the songs with the most technique, or by your favorite artists. I want to know what you guys think are the ten essential songs for the acoustic guitar. These songs need to sound good without vocal accompinament, they need to be recognized by everybody, and they need to be pretty easy to play. These need to be the essentials, classic songs that people drop quarters in your case for playing. Reckon it's bein' darn time to hear some a y'alls 'pinions. neal

Hi. I'm looking to buy a preslotted fretboard for my guitar. I have no preference for any certain woods, but i would like to keep it fairly cheap. I'm not made of money, and i was just trying to find somebody who might be able to charge me actual shipping instead of the ridiculous price others charge. Pre-radiused would also be a dream come true. Thanks. Neal

I am building my ESP f-series copy in wood shop, and it is going fairly well so far, but i have run into a problem. I need to cut the fret slots, but i can't find a saw blade small enough. I am building this on a budget, and if this guitar comes out ok, then i may buy some proper tools, but i don't feel like paying for the special saws. Do you think an extra fine coping saw blade might work? any other suggestions for tools i could find locally and fairly cheaply. Thanks. Neal

wow.....i am amazed. frankly, i thought you were just another teenage kid who had aspirations to build guitars way out of your league(like myself) I not stand in awe of your fantastic work and original designs. Though some are not my cup of tea, i am amazed by the quality your projects appear to be. Great job, and keep up the fantastic work
