mother i'd like to f##k dave

no shame here, he's doing what he loves.. i visted his shop in 04, and had lunch with him, spent the whole day with the guy... really a nice man. very passionate, and loves what he does... he just wants out of the "business" end and wants to design and build. dave

stew mac charges what it does because it can. if you want to look around, and possibly some mods yourself you can save a few bucks.. their 100' roll of hookup wire is $38, at mcm electronics the exact same thing (brand everything) is $13. just trying to make a buck like the rest of us. dave

reseller pricing is 120ish on a chrome floyd, so they are still making a few bux. dave

dont skimp on the trem... carvin has the cheapest i've seen around 179 ish. http://www.carvin.com/products/single.php?ItemNumber=FR6C If i had to get a cheaper one, the only thing i would get would be a shaller, the cheapo's will give you fits. A buddy had a knock off and on the first string up, 2 of the saddles cracked. Dave

most likely they are machining holes used to line up jigs, and used for painting... holding the guitar while painting. anderson has one hole that he uses, screws in a threaded brass insert, and screws a pipe with a flattend end to the guitar, upon assembly they take out the brass insert and leave a hole. dave

recess the washer and nut.. it's like that on my ty tabor yamaha. dave

anything diamond will last longer. if you plan on doing stainless frets, diamond is a must, they will chew up normal fret files quick. not a whole lot of choices on this, i use stewmac since they are in ohio and i get my stuff overnight. dave

you can take a little finish brad nail, and hammer it in one side, and snip the head off with some wire cutters, just leave a little bit sticking up, and when pressed to the other side it will not go anywhere, also good with fingerboards on necks. dave

this is how g&l does it..

A Very Stupid Question, About Adjusting The Truss
terrax replied to Opencan's topic in Solidbody Guitar and Bass Chat
if when you sight down the neck and it's bowing towards the floor, you need to tighten it (clockwise), if it's backbowed towards the strings, and they are fretting out real bad, you need to do it counter clockwise (loosen), some are more touchy than others, and dont over tighten it, move it a bit, and play with it for a little while, and see if it moves.. some necks take a few minutes to settle in. dave -
tom anderson uses leather dye, i forget the brand off the top of my head, he gets pretty good results dave

should be able to get allen wrenches from a hardware store... as for the thing on the back of the headstock, allparts.com, shaller makes it i believe. dave

Then why the hell do you call Ocatavarium crap? It is the most song-driven album by DT ever. Nearly no solos or insanely technical passages. Just great songs. ← inhale guys... not trying to start a flame. just stating i didnt like it. i dont think the songs are as good as thier earlier works. and please dont compare classical music to dream theater. and yes i know what song he was talking about, but again i lost interest in them since awake so i dont know the title. i listened to the cd today again, and it was better, so maybe with a few more spins i might like it more. guess i'm the oddball out. dave
-
funny how you mention awake and needing kevin moore back. moore was involved in very little of the songwriting on awake. ← didnt say he was involved with it all that much, who knows how much he really was, but after awake it seemed to me to go to crap. maybe i'm growing out of that kind of music, who knows. dave

talent for talent sake is great, but writing good songs is another thing. i think they have progressed yes, but i think they are spreading theirselves too thin on side projects. and do we really need a 28 minute long song? guys too each his own, some of my favorite bands have released some clunkers lately, ie King's x. if you have watched the liquid drum theater dvd with portnoy, he at one point is charting a song, showing how it changes time signatures like 30 times in a minute, which for technical sake is quite an achievement, but does it make a great song? not bashing guys, just giving my opinion. awake is probably one of my top 5 albums of all time. i think with the bar set so high, it's hard to top it. dave

Squier Strat Factory Paint...polyurethane?
terrax replied to The Welder's topic in Inlays and Finishing Chat
i've heard that the mexis are 5 - 7 piece bodys, with a single piece veneer over the top and back to hide the glue seams. squire, i'm not sure it would even be that good of wood. i think i'd leave it, you might not like what you find dave -
craptivarium imho all downhill after awake. they need kev back. dave
-
be carefull planing figured wood... can tear out like crazy. especially thin pieces. i'd probably go as far to say dont plane it, sand it. dave
