You people need lives. If you really see fit to burn someone, at least get facts right. For the love of God, it is sad how ridiculous you are. I have many better things to do.

Carvin makes the stewmac necks. They can do paddle head at no extra charge, and if you ask they will do any options you want that they do on the guitars....mahogany neck, maple board, 5 piece neck, ect. You'll pay the same price as per a guitar for the options. Just browse the options on guitars and you'll know what is available and for how much.

Or go as mentioned but buy a carvin thru neck, fill the old bridge holes, glue the wings up at the proper angle for the bridge or go flatmount, whatever and you'd have a killer neck thru explorer, and wouldnt have to build a neck. Trust me, dont bite off more than you can chew. Dont over complicate it either.

Hey setch, if it isnt much trouble, can you repost the pics on top carving? I could use them

I got mine off Ebay.

Dime bolt. And who says it has to be airbrushed? You sould just mask the bolt and spray white on her. Simple enuf? Then go with a blue dye for the Washburn style one, or go Dean from Hell style, and paint it blue. The lines will go away when you start clearing....like a decal.

Sorry Eddie, I didnt mean to sound like I missed your point. I agree what happened was wrong. However, that was the most extreme misuse of a substance ever. It was cold, irresponsible, mean, and just plain wrong on so many levels. And honestly, it does grieve me that there are people out there that do that. Same thing with pedos getting kids liquered up so they can have their way with them. That's not the substance's fault, the some sick fxxxer misusing a substance to get what they want. Its the cold reality that the world is not a safe place anymore (nor was it ever) that I dont like. I say we criminalize those assholes, let them burn in hell, and move on as a society.

why is it that people in other countries can have booze legal, but here in america we have some pomp and circumstance about people turning 21.  if you grow up respecting something then most likely you wont abuse it.  how can you go to war for the USA at 18 but not buy a beer till you are 21?  You think things are messed up here?  come on now, we need another revolution!

Actually you can fight at 17. I agree with you here. Why do we have kids dying for "the cause" (not a political stab) who cant even vote, and my ass can smoke ciggies, and drink to my hearts content? I'm 22, and for health reasons I cant join the military, not that I would if I could anyhow. Not trying to open a new can of worms now either.

As for weed? I guess I'm more responsible than most. I dont smoke often, and I wont drive afterwards. I actually walked 2 miles home one day because I was stoned. Most ppl would just drive. Weed is like alcohol to me....fine in moderation and used responsibly. The extemes pointed out were not responsible use, and one was just plain screwed up, and I'm sorry to hear that. I dont blaim the weed, I blame the mofo who got the kid high and taped C4 to him. He could have used alcohol too. I have no problems with weed, not because I smoke occasionally, but I do have a problem with irresponsibility with it. I have a huge proplem with meth tho.......

I went and bought the Kahler. Its a chrome one off the bay that is "new in box". We'll see.....I dont want to have to route, but.....

Without sale, there is no alledged fraud.

The best kitys I have seen are from Grissly Industrial

how bout some pix?

And it is not illegal to use the deacals. I have my self. It is legal for restoration and personal use. Sales is where it gets funky. I will put a fender decal on a Relic, but I wont sell it.

Ok, so lets bash the newbie for asking for help. Perry, while I usually agree with you, I do not here. Picture this.....what is the differencebetween a lefty making a replica jem in reverse orientation for himself because Ibanez is too shallow to make one, and making a 5150 replica using a Kramer decal? Especially when all he will get is thin decals, not the silkscreened vinyl Ibanez uses. I know myself that lefties get the shaft, as they are limited to a few select guitars and we righties can have anything we want. He stated plainly he wont be selling it, and its for his own personal enjoyment. If you cant understand that, cool, but at the very least, get off your high horse. You are not the king of the forum, and the language is getting hasty.

JCF: The next time you screw up, I'll be sure to laugh when you get reamed....newbie bashing.....that'll score ya points

well.....it thinks it s. It actually never gets thick, scratches off easily, wont sitck to CA, disolves with acetone.....spray a couple coats of clear too.

I read somewhere that its a Virtual Vintage....

220 is prolly too much. you want it flat but with open pores for the gue to soak in

I've done set necks on a joiner, they're haitry, but doable. Make sure your grain lines up and the joints are sanded to about 120-150

The trble horn looks jagged

Ebay, Gilmerwood.com, Washington State

I've seen em on the bay on occasion

Well... the "front" pickup is the one that is farthest from the bridge... so if you use the same orientation then it would be the end farthest from the bridge.

D~s

Exactly right. The back, or rear is closest to the bridge

Well, I guess there's no need to mention the grain orientation, however, I assume you have a joiner......I did much the same repair on a Kramer. There's a thread in the tutorials section on it

Sold locally for $250.

Agreed, but the thing is on ebay. A serious collector would not buy it without first verifying it. This guy knows that. It just doesnt seem right. If I were buying a 57 LP, I'd want to touch it, and fully inspect it, not use Ebay.
