I'd hold out for what else I could get

I'm sure we had a thread on this a wee while ago. how long is your cable? unbalanced guitar cables are not exactly the business when it comes to eliminating radio interference try and keep it as short as you need. It also is much easier to not get in knots BONUS CB radio chatter is funny to see in a pub gig bollywood clips would be awesome I'd keep it, mid solo fire on the wah and go crazy

I always keep a look out for a really nice old hardwood toilet seat because I think that would be a cool thing to make a guitar out of!

Didn't the guy from inxs play a squire? Aussies we need you! The funny thing about epiphone is that they do actually have some stand alone instruments the two I know of are the crestwood and the riviera. I'd love a crestwood. Daniel Not over here we aren't its raining again

okay I see what you are saying killemall I just got the impression that you would touch a named guitar because it was named If my playing was good enough and my music was making me money I'd see an expensive instrument as a viable purchase but as I am now no chance!

I don't drive because I've yet to find a car in the shape of a guitar! being a sound engineer I prefer to get good sounds rather than worry about the shape but I do know what you mean kindof.

Why would you not touch another brand name guitar? I could give a flying **** who built my guitar (apart from perhaps for ethical reasons) its the six strings that are important everything else is just filla the oldies certainly didn't care Its not rock and roll! Hand me an elastic band and I'll attempt to knck out a tune!

Absolutely, and lets not forget about the potential fire danger either. Kenny ... I have a friend in SD that has a sparky he likes, I'll see if I can get a number for you. There is nothing quite like being flung off a step ladder with 230V coursing through your veins trust me! luckily I brushed a live wire with the back of my hand. we need 230V over here because waiting ages for a cup of tea is not acceptable!

stainless steal palette knife is what I used last. and yeah what wes said you'll think its not working and all of a sudden its will be dead easy! heating whatever you are using helps too. and be careful even a palette knife will do a good job or scraping the side of your finger away if you slip.

You don't need steam just a hot iron will do it just as fast.

someone posted a thread about his homemade one either yesterday or the day before I'm sure of it! you could go that route?

even when I read birmingham I have to do a brum accent have you got melvyn hiscocks book? if you haven you shoul! that will tell you what you need. also I think there is a sticky at the top of this forum that tells you what tools are useful.

I'm not trying to be funny but you do know that upside down guitar chords (bass four only obviously) are mandolin chords? Yep. That works to get started. But, for example, a G chord played on a mandolin (by a mandolin player) would be: _3_ _2_ _5_ _4_ And an upside-down guitarist would just play... _3_ _2_ _0_ _0_ Both work, but the proper mandolin chord sounds a little better. I really need to make the sound clip of this little animal. You are not going to believe the sound that it has for what it's made of. according to my book the first chord is actually a bluesgrass chord and the second is just and open G both are acceptable! blues grass chords have no open strings to get a rythm going because that is the mandolins role in bluesgrass. you should make a full on 8 string mandoln out of it like i said according to my book it could well be wrong! I play my mandolin by playing a chord read the book play the next one consult the book again repeat as required!

tuned as a tenor guitar? I like weird guitars to! infact anything that makes a noise! I like the guitar but i prefer "boobs"

sorry my bad I was just making a joke! for what its worth i think it is a hideous guitar regardless of who built it! other uses for scrap wood. how about one of these... http://www.renovobikes.com/prices-and-options/ can't think how you could achieve such large scraps though! ship in the bottle? or like i sometimes do just plain a piece to nothing for the hell of it!

when i took apart my horrendous snake guitar I turned it upside down to remove the neck and one of the bushings just fell out! hehe.

has no one noticed who made this? those black bits arent dark wood they are glue joins or in his lingo natural tone holes left there to show that it was built by hand and not by somefaceslessrobotPOSfactoryfloppycrappy PRS peanut paid monkey! pinefd you should start with one piece of wood and see how many guitars you can make from it starting with full size and working your way down!

I'm reporting that to the moderators! Porn isn't allowed on this site!

are you hitting on me? its those blue eyes...

you picked that up in melvyns book! I think its a standard expresiion for any small scale manufacturing business!

ah but she said you were incredibly handsome so i think that might have been the truth bit! a my little pony?

Is that what she told you?...your sister lies... Josh and a funny joke in the same topic...co-operation with someone not from the UK... thats funny she said you were hung like a horse. ah well you can't have everything wes!

wes and an attractive girl in the same room..... co-incidence? As long as you stay away from my tardis!

I have a Japanese pull saw also, but this is much smaller. Same idea though, just built to cater to the scale model hobbyist market. The finest blade is something like 54 teeth per inch IIRC. Perfect for extremely fine work. yeah a raser saw is like a very small gents saw I have one its very useful for lots of things. I don't think its really a hobbyiest item just a saw for very small work! I'd guess its called a rasor saw because they slide into like old disposable rasor blades
