    Looking great Wes, did you mentioned what clear you were using? I looked and could not find it. I'm making a list of parts got me a cheap Dean baby Z online that I got here with me that will get a decent body as soon as I get back. And 36hr cure time sounds great if I don't have to play with 2K stuff. How thin it applies? Same lie nitro? Or more like 2K.

    Nice tele as always Drak!

    Nice Wes... can't wait to get back to civilization to start another build. This one has been a long time on hold!

    Nice guitar so far! As far as the stains fading, I had that happen to me on 1 guitar. I stained the top, sanded back and laid a tinted coat with StewMac stains and now that blue is almost non existent. I will love to post pics to show but Im a little far away from home to do that... On another note, my first quilt guitar was stained with the same stain, but with clear nitro and that one still is the same color as it was when I shot it!

    Looking nice already! I like the lines on the neck!

    I, N, P, Q are my rotating desktops... I just got the trooper tattooed on my calf and I have been a Maiden fan since I first hear them in the very early 80's... any of those would look killer, out of all Eddies I dislike the first one and the ones after Derek Riggs stopped making them, which coincide with the departure of Adrian from the band. So any of them, made by Riggs would be awesome! The only 2 I like after him are the 2 I use as desktops, the clouds is amazing, and the one of the soldier have the essence of Riggs drawings. Ah, and the life after death is a classic too!

    This time for me it was between 3 guitars, Texas Tele, Gecko and the Invader. At the end it was the Invader... figure wood and stains and tinted coats always call my attention, but the simple design of the Invader called my eye the most. The Inlays brought me flashbacks of the countless hours I spent playing that darn machine when I was a kid! The kill switch was very ingenious too. The only one thing I would do different if I was going to make it was to use a matching cover for the control cavity.

    Yes it can be used, there are hundreds of plaques made at the on post plaque shop that are laser engraved and they are nice and 3 dimensional looking. I know that Perry just did that with the tribute bass he just did and it came out awesome!

    Your first post here, no history on ebay. and you are selling a $5K guitar... I dont think anyone here or on the bay will bite.
  11. Maiden69
    Sorry to hear that! Yeap, if it doesnt have the second canister inside that you have to push or twist open, it is not 2K... I have used the one sell by Alsa and it is very good! But I rather spray it now, it is much cheaper in the long run!
  12. Maiden69
    Its looking great, I wish the white was more translucent, like a mary kay to show more of the quilt!
  13. Maiden69
    It is looking very nice, I like the style on the headstock. The combination of the woods flow very good, the only area I'm not following is the neck joint. I thought that you were going with a more flowing carve instead of the traditional PRS-Gibson speed bump style. Other than that, I'm looking forward to seeing this one finished.

    probably shouldnt get involved but this sentence really makes it seem like ola did something wrong. I still think we should all be thanking him for his input - not pushing away one of the few truly innovative members!! hopefully when its sorted we can get this topic back on track and we can all learn something from Ola's efforts!! No it doesn't, unless my English was wrong. Wez, all he has to do is clear it out through Brian and get a nice shinny badge like your VIP... that's it.

    I don't recall sending you a PM about the content of the post, since you can post what ever you want as long as you do it in the right sub-forum. I'm sure I PM you about your signature, since I always do when I edit a member so they know it was me the one that did it. I also posted it here in this thread, post #10. We are talking in the Mods forum to figure out the appropriate course of action... Brian takes a while to answer, I'm sure we will hear from him too.
  16. Maiden69
    So you are telling me that a moderator can not change your signature if it is against the rules? I sent you a PM the moment I changed it explaining you why, like I do everyone else that I have modded! And everyone else has gotten in touch with Brian and got their signature back and a nice little tittle that either says VIP or Verified Vendor. I understand your grief, but the rules are the rules and all we do is enforce them, we are not getting paid to do this, and we all do it in our free time, I already told you that you can replace it with an address, but no link until Brian approves it.

    I know he ain't showing it, but can't you see how wet the wood is on top? Right at the bend. Going pretty nice Drak, I pre bend mines, but that looks like a lot less work.
  18. Maiden69
    I like your site and your work, but it is for Brian to decide this one, your ID sound awfully close to a company name... I normally would let it go, but like Wes said, there is a criteria to be meet. Brian will get in touch with you, he is very busy all the time so it might take him a little bit.
  19. Maiden69
    nice site, but you are not allowed to have links on your signature unless you are a verified vendor. Get in touch with Brian, that way you will have your custom title and your links back on your signature.

    The mock up looks great, but doable with tinted lacquer only.
  21. Maiden69
    That design looks pretty nice, I don't like the small neck pocket area on a bass , but it should be enough.
  22. Maiden69
    Turning out very nice! I like the ramp idea, I think that it adds a little character to the bass too. For me it makes it look meaner.
  23. Maiden69
    I was recommended the Amish guys that are off 70 close to Hagerstown, have you been there? I plan on getting some once I get back home before I PCS to KY. I heard the prices were good and the pieces are nice too.
  24. Maiden69
    That one is my favorite, that color is outstanding. You know I love blue, so you got me sold on this one!
  25. Maiden69
    Lots of times when you get blotch patches on your stain it is because the wood was not properly prepared, or the grain not blown clean prior to staining. Dust on the grain will soak more tint and make it darker, so will rough spots on the wood. I have followed Drak's and David's instructions since I joined the forum and I have never had an issue with stain. Also, a little trick that I came up with for staining dark sand back was to stain the dark color diluted in alcohol and then the bright color with water, that way the dark color tend to bleed less.
