I think this is most likely spam designed to get people to listen to the band,rather than actual fishing for opinions.The video is much too high quality for just a general "what do you think" post.

I don't haved much faith in this refinishing commision working out too well

You need to play with the variables.Ibanez does not use a 1/4" fretboard as far as i know.most of mine are more like 3/16" They also use a thinner truss rod than the stewmac...try the lmii. Also...plan on a volute. I thickness my fretboards down as far as is feasable,use a volute,and use medium size frets.all that translates to a pretty damn thin neck.

I just recently had a Gibson(not epiphone) Explorer which was obviously one piece.

Looks like a regular video.The girl is pretty,but other than that,it "ain't my thang"

Gibson Explorer. But anyway,I would not put too much faith in what "production guitars" do or don't do...they are slackers.I use one piece where i can,but it doesn't matter that much to me.

When I ran out of studio wall space,I expanded into the living room and hallways.

Once again,wall hangers for your guitars will solve your problem.

Very nice,but I long ago traded in my floor racks for wall mounts.They save floor space and they look really good to me.Plus with a wall mount you can also loop extra guitar cables around the hanger behind the guitar

That makes more sense.

Joam,you should post your location in your info....it would be SOOOO much easier to help you find this stuff then.maybe someone locally knows a place

I think there is something wrong with that.maybe just one coat at a time could be that thin,but there is no way this product is meant to applay altogether that thin. The finish on my exploder is about 1.5mm

You sure?I really thought it meant something else.my finish is much thicker than that,and I have no problems with chipping or cracking,and I shot it all in a matter of a few days. Also,it is meant as a bartop finish,and those finishes are pretty dang thick.

It is an entirely different playing style when playing high gain.When I play at the extremely high gain settings I use,I am always muting the strings i don't use with one hand or the other.After years and years and years,it just happens naturally and I never notice until someone else plays my rig and wants to know how I play with that much gain.

4 mils is THICK....how many passes per coat?well,that entirely depends on how heavy you spray per pass.How many coats to apply before level sanding depends entirely on how level the surface prep is and how good you spray. The only question you asked that can be answered is "how does it sand compared to nitro?",to which the answer is about the same. compatible pigments and dyes?universal.

I fixed the massive number of pics to comply with the rules...I am on 54 mbps wifi right now and it took almost a full minute for the page to stop scrolling and loading so I could read it. One pic per post,link to the rest please

No,i remember this topic when it first was posted.I thought it was lame then,but it's even lamer now after so many years...hehe. this was the first one [url="http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.php?showtopic=248"]http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.php?showtopic=248[/url]

I suggested it because I have done it

This thread is sooooo three years ago,doods.

Use smaller screws,made for wood,but small enough in diameter to pass through the holes of the pickups without damaging the threads. And instead of mounting the pickup ears directly to the wood,I suggest you use springs for adjustment.

I do not suggest using any type of rag as you are likely to end up with a lint coated neck.But for the record,I have never found ca to be a suitable topcoat...only as a sealer.

What an incredibly ignorant thing to say.

I had no problems with glueing.i just used plenty of titebond because the pores tend to soak it up.

Yeah...Rob sits down with his endorsees and designs the guitars with them.Because of that some of them are pretty extreme...like that Nile guitar.Ever listen to Nile? Some pretty good playing in that band.

Greg...obviously you have never played a proper V.I play standing up with the neck angled upward and the top of the arm rest of the V body at about my waist line.this puts my picking arm hanging straight down with my hand basically right in front of my crotch(an argument could be made that for a man this is optimum hand position...hehe) My fretting arm also hangs down straight to the elbow,where my forearm then comes up and my hand wraps perfectly around the neck...neither of my arms has to be held away from my body,as always happens with any strat shaped guitar(or anything with a forearm rest. http://www.kxkguitars.com/ Take a look at Steve Swanson here...(my guitar is the same as the one pictured)picture the guitar hanging lower in the strap about another 8 inches to a foot,and that is me. The guitar is actually so well balanced and comfortable that i now build all of my guitars to have the same forearm rest and neck/body join...that should tell you something. I just feel a little sorry for you guys that only think there is just ONE ergonomically "correct" guitar for everyone.I wear 32 by 36 inch pants,and my shirts have to have a medium sized torso and extra long arms to fit me properly....most people are closer to a reversal of those dimensions(36 by 32 pants) Is it so hard for you to crack that narrow mind open just a HAIR and realize you are not the world's definition of the perfect person? to quote the great one..."it's easy if you try" I was going to just gloss over your post,since in the last one you basically played the hand of "I pretend to misunderstand your post in order to take umbrage",but I did read it,and you have some good points...but what you are again doing is trying to twist my post to mean the exact opposite of what I actually said. The entire reason I now play a V and my Exploder and nothing else is because i WAS developing wrist strain from my "forearm rest having" guitars.You see,I pick extremely fast and repetitively(think Deicide),and I get nowhere near the time for practice those guys do.so ergonomics are extremely important to me. Drak's comments ring very true for me...everyone is obviously different.So that makes you pretty much in the wrong here,because even though you may research the "middle ground of human movement",you take into consideration none of what makes some of us very,very different. Since i left my other guitars hanging on the wall,I have had no wrist issues. Wes 1,ergonomic misinterpretation 0
