  1. looking good man- I have been lurking around and not commenting much- meant to say this the other day- and a belated bonus points on the beer cap. very cool.
  2. damn Scott your heart must have sunk. you going to sand out greater area/build back and blend? i once tried to "spot fill" a chunk like this- but in my case I ended up putting too much retarder in the nitro and while I avoided blush (humidity was border line)-the dry time was so long I opened it up to dust settling in and ended up sanding it all back off in the end. i was thinking I could spot fill in a bunch-build it up higher than the surrounding nitro- then thin it down/blend it with thinner (that was the idea anyway)- but dust had different plans for me-plus I ended up with runs galore to be honest
  3. i like how you mirrored the headstock in the truss rod cover-small but very effective design element. you did a great job on this guitar.
  4. you didnt mean Joe Driskill out of Fort Worth did you? I almost forgot all about that guy.
  5. i think I had previously referred to your neck tenon as "deep set neck" -and had forgot that DTM guitars calls it a "set thru neck" no voodoo Scotty- incase you didnt know- you are avoiding the "tone trouble spot" zone according to this pro builder: http://mcnaughtcustomguitars.com/set-thru-necks/ plus you dont get a potentially ugly ass butt end where the neck/neck lams show thru. I dont always dig that look.
  6. excellent call on the pickguard.. You balanced the look with that-especially taking the shine down. nice work. i like the pickups too- are you going to add in any mini-switchs to go between humbucking/p90/blade?
  7. nice work Andy and great info share for everyone to learn from.
  8. so- not to be a broken record here but jeezus- can you get any more of a perfect paint job. damn dude.
  9. while I am not a big fan of the body style- I do love your builds and looking forward to this. great work as always!!
  10. i am sweating bullets and I have nothing to do with this. I feel your anxiety bro-
  11. welcome! great job on the axes.
  12. lookin like a right proper axe. great work keep it up!
  13. digging that fret board Scotty. The waves are cool. Hopefully it wont darken up TOO much once you oil it.
  14. to quote victor creed- oooh shiny! regarding QR/kiss tour-i saw that show 11/29/84 @broome county areana binghampton ny. Alot of Syracuse metal heads made that trip more for QR than Kiss. i might even have a bootleg cassette of that show but if I recall correctly the audio quality sucks-you had to hide microphones at kiss shows- that is for sure. i still hold that QR ep as one of the best metal albums ever- prog or not. i wasnt really a QR fan much after the second album- I sort of didnt like the direction a lot of metal went after 82/83ish. i am sort of stuck in that 67-83 time zone with smatterings of stuff here and there from late 80s, 90s etc. occasionally i find stuff on you tube or thru the youngins that work my fav local pkg store- I just got turned onto The Sword recently. Modern day sabbath. too bad I am like 10 years behind finding out about them.
  15. damn dude- nice job. another andy save in the bank. well done bro.
  16. that shade with gloss would look bad ass. agree with your comment-I would have kept it there too if it was mine. (btw-bonus point for feet in shot) there is something about a V. A wiseman once said, its the inner "schenker" in us all.... To which a fool replied, well some schenkers are smaller than others. bad da boom. (rim shot emoji)
