Fluke

Yo Thanks. Idea: Everyone, Make the freakiest looking guitar you possibly can and post it, or just a really good looking one? just a thought.

The URL is: http://www.nymphusa.com/kisekae/kisekaee1.asp Basically, you just scroll down and pick the body style you want and click it. It's especially helpful for developing new burst style finishes. Also, Its very easy to learn. BTW, anyone know how to save the image?

Actually, I know most everything (within reason) when it comes to what goes into a guitar and what tools for what jobs etc (over educated, under skilled) . The only thing I dont know a whole lot about is more complex wiring situations. The saga thing was about getting skills and enjoying pseudo-luthiery, and I was going to try to make a buck in doing so. I understand how one could assume that all I want to do is make money. But, I have been interest in guitar building for quite a while, And I know I can't possible accomidate all the guitars I want to build. This isnt like I'm going to be building [X amount] of guitars a week and sell each for [X amount] of dollars. Also, I do need extra money one the side. But think of it this way, If I wasn't interested in the actual building of them, I wouldn't even think about trying to make some $ off them. I thought this could be a profitable and enjoyable hobby. The idea that was presented to me was to negotiate with a music store, so to setup my instruments in a small corner of their store, and they would make whatever percent of every one of my guitars sold. But as I said, they must be of very good quality, or noone would touch them. What I would like, on the other hand, is any suggestion you all (y'all) would care to give about wiring, wood selection, p-ups etc. And what are some exotic looking woods? (eye catching) Yes...... I am an idiot.

Ok, with all this said, What would you suggest for me to put into my own creation. What I want is to sell them, and since i dont have or want the abilitly to be in the mass production market, I'll go the specialty market route. Which means, It has to be EXTREMELY playable, sound like it came from God himself, and have looks to match. I've been thinking (for a strat style axe) ash body, with the highest possible gloss finish (maybe nitrocellulose?), I may use the Eric Johnson neck thing (slight V at the top the becomes very C at near the end) maybe one tone knob controlling the bridge pickup and the other for both the middle and neck pickup. Maybe a humbucker at the bridge. Ebony fret board. White pearloid pickguard. Vintage oval tuners (I've always prefered those). Vintage string tree. bone or brass nut. quilted or flamed maple headstock veneer, Oops, I'm drooling! Anyway, suggestions are appreciated. And PatientZero, my email is a_spears724@email.com

Hey, I want to sunburst a nect to match a body, how is a good way to do it?

Ok, The music instrument "wholesaler," "Musician's Friend" is now selling a strat that Eric Johnson (whoever that is) and Michael Frank-Braun (what a name) have created in collaboration with each other, so I've read. Now, In the review in the Musician's Friend catalog, Edward Paul (again, Who?) address what seems to be a keeper; giving examples like how it was researched for good sound down to the screws (does that even matter?). Among other things is the paintjob, one peice neck, wiring for the tone knobs the control the neck and bridge pickups instead of the neck and middle, and several other things, some of which sound insane (at least when yu say it makes it sound better). Can anyone who has read this review tell me whether or not any of the makes a real difference, and also what other thing have significant effects on the overall tone and playablitly of a guitar or bass.

10 years is long enough for most people, I never said they were all in the same decade. Crap I left out a word!

Doubt it, as long as you didn't sell it; or at least didnt sell it as a gibson product.

I can't decide between the Floyd and Nirvana.

V? I? weird. i thought there was an issue of seven.

O you did not just go there. I think it's time too send in two texas rangers to kick your [[[[ true alot of americans are idiots. And I 'm sure that alot of people from where ever the hell your from are complete idiots also. ← Dude, Every one where I am are Idiots or Hicks or just plain crazy. But my reason for being "hostile"(?) is just because everyone seems to be a closed minded red neck and when I deal with that long enough I just kinda snap, so please dont take offense to anything I say while I'm freaking out. Dont insult my intellect over a bit of rambling, I would say people everywhere are dumb, but I've never been outside the U.S. And I'm not (completely) blaming citizens for there ignorance, When you understand how the government takes advantage of human nature you'll know why I call people sheep. But unlike 98% percent of community places on the net, PG actually has smart people in it. I was shocked, but in a good way. Oh, About the weed thing, You must realize that it affects everyone differently; some get really depressed, some have thoughts within thoughts (or most ?), Some get sick, and yes, some can even safley drive while on it. Say whatever you want but I've know this one from experience, and it only takes one exception to prove that there are exceptions. But yeah, Don't toke and drive. -Fluke (not a pot head btw)

VERY NICE!! I'll give you $10 American for it.

I'll take some time before anything really happens anyway, though. Like, whenever it's brought up, say, with the idiot...er, President, They just look at you like, "I can't beleave you just said that!" But on the bright side, Soon enough we all will be dead and the next generation will have to put up with this crap. But anyway, more and more people are learning the truth every day. I'd say in a few years the entire country will open up to medical pot and many states to recreational pot. BTW, Do you know how much reefer it takes to keep you from walking?? I have gotten very very high in my how ever many years (?) of being a stoner, and I've realized that dont happen unless you fall asleep.

I know its just pot, but a while back I took a real interest in the political and medical asspect of it and read up on many things, so I know alot about it. Just loosen up. You realize that an injustice such as this would never be corrected if everyone decided to be sheep. Thats the problem with Americans, they are idiots.

erowid is where I found out about the radio active material, which DOES cause most of the cancer were talking about. I could have told you anything you'd care to know about weed (lots of research on erowid over several months). I consider myself a cannaboid expert.

Actually, the RD was made to compete B.C. Rich because they were a major rival of Gibson. btw, I just like the body and style, never played one. but alot of people like them, alot of people like bc rich, opinions are like assholes, everyones got em and they all stink. And I have always liked those mocking-birds, saw one on "Wayne's World" when I was really young. Not a big fan of the warlocks (though the acrylics look cool), but i hate nj beasts. And this thread was not intended to offend.

Well I must say I'm very happy with most of these responses. But: It doesnt have the bad affects of ciggs; they say "a joint has as much tar as 4 cigarettes." Who cares? tar doesnt cause cancer, the radio-active material the secretely put in the cigaretts does! also its abosolutly NOTHING like alcohol, people i know drive stoned all the time, because it doesnt impair motor skills in most people (though it does for me, and in exceptions like that I advise not to drive) but I would use tools to build guitars while high. Anyway, thank you for your votes and posts; Keep em comin' -Fluke

lol, Why is very one i want to kill already dead (assuming thats who that is). BTW I didnt mean that litterally. See I knew this one complete dumbass and he turned me against them with his crazy obsesion. And they just seem way to "look at me! I'm a dangerous bad ass, Weee!!" but its just because the afore mentioned

I'll seek therapy

G to C and D is a classic.

Comments?

Nothing meant by that, thats just people I know. again, no offense

I'm not sure why, but I'd like to find the founder of it, and slowly kill him with a REAL guitar. any comments?

Something I've noticed: People that are primarily Gibson people are pretty much always assholes, Much of the fender people are fairly nice, but I've seen fender weiling dicks too; just never and pleasant paul person. But I'd hangout with an LP guy before a B.C Rich Cheese-ball any day. Long Live Both Strat and LP!!!

Actually, I have a focus 420s bass by Kramer. It has a plywood body, and crappy stock pickups, but still sounds great. especially for like 90 bucks. www.musicyo.com has a bunch of kramers.
