not sure I understand you there erik co planar means on the same plane, two coins on a flat table are co planar. that might be what you mean but i read what you say as parallel planes which are different (stacked coins) infact parallel lines are co planar not co-linear

almost soapbar bicarbonate of soda!

how aboyt mybanez?

It was quite exciting wasn't it?

we are!

Hello Kabashiro welcome.

I think I do like the F hole gotta admit it took a while.

well he managed to fit a sustainer to the sustainer thread. it just goes on and on!

how about building other instruments? ukes mandolins etc.

welcome. your english was perfect better than most of the americans and british infact! look forward to seeing some pictures of your project don't let the lack of tools bring you down most jobs are do able with very basic handtools!

Orgmorg re read my post please I didn't say that When I put myine up on the gotm I'll be putting it up to get crit rather than winning (I know which is more likely)

I bought one of those Stanley spokeshaves as well. I have no idea how to set it up. Know a website or tut that'll clue me in (and maybe a few tips)? By the way, nice acquisition Mr. Pierce. Feed the TAD! CMA I found a website about making them useable one of the things was to get rid of the adjusters and use a hammer like an old school wooden one. Not tried that myself but there you go. I'll see if i can find that site but it was on my other computer.

The guy who wrote mexican boy is your comedic superior Quality cross thread banter going on here I feel!

Now I am the one that is all like ,Whu? and now I understand what you were on about!

I have to work out sometime to spend on mine nothing original apart fromt the shape and the "how did he get the trussrod in" neck

You should still comment man I was just saying my reasons which it just so happened were exactly the opposite to yours I hope I didn't come across as being argumentative it wasn't my intention. I can see yours doing rather well next month. I think it may get my vote actually.

don't say that he'll get a big head!

I thought I'd go into a bit more detail as to why I voted for the less tall. and Pete I'm not getting at you because I know exactly what you were saying, but it may look like it as I am pretty much going to disagree with everything you wrote Firstly I don't think its a novelty instrument no more say than picking up a uke/banjo/mandolin/sitar/bass (I'm guilty of owning all except the banjo) or building a cigar box guitar. I like fretted intruments that are different and playable for a useless guitarist like myself, it allows me to make different noises! Secondly whilst building a good full size les paul is similar I don't think its the same for a start you can't work from plans atleast not baught ones and scaling something down is pretty tricky without making it look warped especially when a full width neck, pickup and bridge etc are being used. And by the same token the face melter is just a sg made with different wood and strpped of an extra pick up and the kelvinator is just a telecaster with "unusual hardware" Thirdly if it was full size it would still be a very beatiful guitar I would have voted for it or possibly the kelvinator... aaaaargh I can't decide! before some one starts flaming me I like the face melter and I like the full sized les paul and I really really like the kelvinator my comments aren't supposed to be negative in anyway. I'm just making the point that there isn't that much to change other than the wood selection, hardware and shape. A testement to the extremely well thought out guitars conceived by fender and gibson I guess!

Haha I couldn't remember your name since you changed it and I couldn't be bothered scrolling down! I don't think anyone was more confused than the goat!

Oh man I wrote a big reply and you moved the thread mexicanboy. Welcome, everyone here is dead friendly (except for westheman he is really weird ) Yeah why don't you tell us what you are building/going to build/ dream of building?

Thats not how everybody else knows him though! Welcome to the friendliest forum on tinternet.

Or go cap in hand to pete townsend and see if you can get a wrecker to use as a project.

I thought they were both right one of them is the scale length and one of them is the playable section of the string length no?

I really like it as it is! some times a contrast is nice this I think is one of them!

That shot gives me vertigo! very nice guitar just be sure not to slip and cut the headstock off with that big saw!
