    Turning out very nice! Can't wait to see it finished.
  2. Maiden69
    Hes done 2 with Buckeye Burl http://www.soulmateguitars.com/joes_06.htm

    Yeah, I think that Parable Guitars have one like that too. But that one is identical, from Pagan to Doug the lower part is changed.

    You can't see the "access" hole on mine? I had to recess because of a miscalculation doing the neck pocket, and that was the only choice! I wanted that bridge on this guitar.

    It looks very nice, but that wenge back cover takes so much from it. If you can make a cover out of wenge, why not go the extra mile and make one with the same wood as the back?

    Looks just like Doug's Model 06 guitar but a little more crude, they say "imitation is the sincerest form of flattering" http://www.soulmateguitars.com/Chris%27s%2...006%20Burst.htm

    Not only that but the hybrid has a set screw at the tail end that you can lock it in place if you don't feel like using the trem.
  8. Maiden69
    That turned out very nice!
  9. Maiden69
    Very good information there Drak. Body is turning out nice!
  10. Maiden69
    You don't know that Drak is the Master if the Scroll Saw!!! He uses it for EVERYTHING! BTW, great pieces Drak! I always loved spalt, but always feared all the care needed to rout and work with it! Nice job!

    Was this explanation posted on the website? Because it is complete BS! I have never bought from Gilmer, and from your experience never will. His prices are on the high side, especially when you have Durawood and other on e-bay that you get what you see. I have done several tops from Durawoods and from Rich here in the forum and they have always been TOP NOTCH. If they tell me it is 3/4", that's what it is!

    Sweet Perry. Keep us in the loop!
  13. Maiden69
    Eddie como estas? Don't forget to give Durawoods a look. http://www.3dhardwoods.com/

    Wes just answered for me... I guess I was a little late. I like it because it is heavier, sturdier, and you have a lot of adjustments that will not have with the other bridges. String height, spacing, fine tuning at the bridge. Very user friendly. I did recessed mine, not because I wanted, but because I measured wrong on my last pass on the neck pocket and the fretboard ended too low. I went about 1/4" down, until the top of the bridge foot was flush with the top of the guitar.

    From the ones you posted, the Kahler would be my choice. All the others are inferior.
  16. Maiden69
    From your pictures I noticed you are using house paint. Did you reduced it for spraying? Because that type of paint will shoot too think from a paint gun, and that is the reason you might had orange peel. Nest time you need to practice on some scraps to make sure the finish will work or look good.

    For a moment I was about to ban and delete! Then I read the post... The title and user name told me SPAM!!!
  18. Maiden69
    I would had done it the way that PRS do their bolted necks, just to have more area to bolt the neck down.
  19. Maiden69
    Got it, It should look good anyway! And took the pics out!
  20. Maiden69
    That top keeps calling my attention! Very nice. BTW, I merged your posts, the rules were changed to allow for 4 pics per post so post away!
  21. Maiden69
    Thanks!
  22. Maiden69
    Yeah, I was looking around their site for that one, since I want to make a guitar for my son with a kick ass finish... I don't like the crazer too much, so I will look around to see what I can do.
  23. Maiden69
    Very nice Wez, that is my favorite quilt figure! I got to start shopping around a little.
  24. Maiden69
    Eerie Dess is not a swirl. Exactly. Or you can go to www.alsacorp.com and check their crazer
  25. Maiden69
    Exactly, just like people using a router and grinders to carve a guitars top. I think that if you don't use planes and scrapers you are cheating too, ah, don't use a router to shape the back of the neck too, just spokeshave or rasps, are allowed. If not you are cheating! People always have opinions, I care less what you use to get the job done, as long as the end result represents what you want it to be. It's just like saying that Thorn's guitars are not impressive because he uses CNC in his work... please.
