    Well now that I am in its time to setup the shop. The large routers will stay outside. But now do I move the bandsaw and sanding equipement in? I have two spots in this new house where I can build. I have half of a one car garage thats attached to the house. Or I can do the basement, problem is what do I bring in and what do I leave in the garage? What are your thoughts on all of this? I have an air filter and all of those types of protection. I also have shopnotes and all those other tools setup mags, but what is more pratical. I have listed out my process to build by, and I am not so sure of what to do.

    I know my guitars are just run of the mill tele, but next one I enter I hope will be like the burl and Zipper cool and unique. I should bribe votes with varitones.... lol, jk. I like the Burl and Zipper both pushing the edge on what was done before... good job to all. I thought perry's would have made it this month, watch out next month that one will be the landslide.

    I like the pickup config. The right sounds there for sure! I would drop a 59 in the neck and a hot tele for the bridge -Derek

    its not grounded properly. Make sure all the pots are grounded, and the pickups wires are grounded that shouldf be it.

    personally I dont' like the faux binding on a burl but it just kinda happend. I stained the tops with some sort of color then tru-oil it to get some seal, and protection, then did the roundover. Hunter not sure what you mean, Full 1/4 burl tops that I resawed myself. Thanks, Derek

    its not Like a fleet of lawyers are going to sweep him off to never never land. this is a lawsuit with other parties involved regardless of myself. It takes time. Even if I directly copied his work, which I did not do, how would he own IP on the shape of a tele guitar? things will come, will post when there is more info. still waiting for news on my ebay appeal.
  12. bigdguitars
    the guy emailed me he understood my point. I have a copy of that thread for my legal records... I asked him to ban Ron.
  13. bigdguitars
    I did buy a template from him. The thing is the template I was selling was 100% different Different material, and a different size. Mine was based off a thinline tele. His was just a regular tele.
  14. bigdguitars
    lol thats actually one of the best ideas I have ever heard of. in my next house in the basement I am going to build a rack and place all the guitars I am working on, on the rack. Now I have the room.... awesome.
  15. bigdguitars
    if you have no space for larger tools where do you put 22 hand built guitars? or was it the guitars or tools?
  16. bigdguitars
    congrats!
  17. bigdguitars
    now that my account is suspended, I cant. that would look really bad. I am following the legal channels now.
  18. bigdguitars
    I have an ebay dealer already setup. All my other auctions will be listed through that account. Just a pain, I called him out in that forum, because its proof that he knows how to exploit the system...
  19. bigdguitars
    ok update I called him out on this on the TDPRI Forum, I need some help people... http://www.tdpri.com/viewtopic.php?t=22821...r=asc&start=200

    Ebay will not give me an answer. This is a real joke, what a scam this is. So if you are slick enough you can have anyones items listed blocked if you want too... You just have to fill out the paper work and make it look like you own some IP. What a horrible flaw in ebay.
  21. bigdguitars
    I will create a new account. I have appealed the suspension. This is a hole in ebay that needs to be fixed. I have some corporate buddies who know some ebay insiders, so this will get taken care of one way or another. updates in the nect couple days. oh yea another problem with ebay, THERE is no phone support even if you are a powerseller. goofy stuff man.
  22. bigdguitars
    my ebay account was just suspended... Its war.
  23. bigdguitars
    jeez that looks like mine... pic not the greatest... and I tru-oiled mine which again not the greatest to do on a spalt... http://www.bigdguitars.com/sun1/g2.jpg
  24. bigdguitars
    yea this is all stupid. the fustrating thing is that anyone who lists a tele template it will get cancelled. All the other template seller I have talked to hate him too. I have talked to a lawyer and by calling him out in my auctions it shows that he is actually reading them and its not something that is done by a computer. Its got too much emotion in this and this is the last wording pattern that I can use. If this is cancelled then the lawyer is going to send a letter asking for legal documentation.
  25. bigdguitars
    yea at this point I don't know what to do, I don't care about selling my item really anymore, and I don't want to look stupod, but ebay is clearly off here and its just someone abusing the system. I realize that ebay is almost of no help here. Its sad, ebay customer service is so poor I am a powerseller and sell all the time and I am getting nothing from them.
