    nice on the headstock. I'm curious about the technique used to go from the gouge/spoon to being flat... some kind of thumb plane or spoke shave? Nicely done.

    looks like it could be some kinda concept flamenco style guitar. Thats some fancy wood you put into it.. too bad its all hidden on the back of the guitar?

    I'm hoping someone with a set of calipers has a fender deluxe pop-in style tremolo arm / whammy bar and can make a quick measurement for me. I'm going to try and make my own, but i need to know what diameter rod stock to buy

    David Gilmour Danny Gatton Eric Johnson Jeff Beck Eric Clapton BB King .... those are probably my top influences... all great musicians first, guitarists second. theres a lot of awesome guitarists out there that have no idea how to make melody and harmony speak

    hats off to you sir for having the patience of job... i for one, would have made sure it knew what concrete tasted like as soon as it popped lol i think in the end it adds character to it. sometimes the imperfections are what make it unique - what would music sound like if an amp didnt fall out of a trunk 60 years ago? who knows, you could end up with a real wicked raspy blues guitar.

    I hope posting personal ebay listings isnt against the rules... I pulled all my extras off my MIM strat to sell it, and selling off the left overs. This makes for an awesome arm with out wobbling and it does seem to balance the trem reset a bit better. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=200290032243 Thanks for lookin, -D

    always baffles me when artists of sorts have horrible, discusting websites. I second the lathe option... a good Jet mini lathe and a pile of pen kits can make you a bunch of extra money out of your scrap wood. I highly recommend anyone wanting to get into turning pens or similar items to check out the DVD "Turning Pens with Kip & Rex". it's by far the best inspirational instruction i've seen. scrap wood is fun, lots of cool things to do with it... art/sculpture pieces or make knife holders, business card stands, puzzle boxes (scroll saw), picture frames (router table), etc. just look through some of the project books at home depot and you're bound to find something that will spark your interest. heck if you get real bored... http://www.ferrariownersclub.co.uk/happeni...er/wood_f50.asp

    i have a 24" vinyl plotter/cutter and a pen tip (that i dont use) for drawing/plotting... i'd be glad to try and get it to work if someone wants, just have to find a paper roll

    nice, yeah i got a sneak peek at that when Doug was milling them up... i love the tummy cut on there as well
  12. Dana
    i think its so mismatched it looks cool... the back of it looks like flames

    looks new but damaged in shipping to me... maybe its all the shiny chrome and perfect neck.
  14. Dana
    wow, that is a fantastic looking piece of wood and what a perfect finish.

    I had a missing black washer from my autotrim tuners box... planet waves sent me a whole new baggie of 6 washers and 6 nuts. PM me an address and i'll send you one.

    no ruler huh? lol my strat guard is 11.25" from tip to tip along the bottom.
  17. Dana
    thats such a huge chunk of ebony, i would route a purfling channel down the side and put something cool in there

    i would say about 75% of the items i have ordered online turned out to be on backorder. Rather frustrating i would say. Perhaps there is a benefit for them to offer items not in stock and then order direct from the manufacturer when an order (or enough orders) come in.

    Ah, ok understood. I will hold off till i build a neck from scratch. Thanks for the advice

    I've been searching around for some options... i want to replace the cheapo fret dots on my strats rosewood fretboard with some wood inlay. Nothing super fancy but something stylized. I dont however want to go and refret the board. I'm wondering if the difficultly would be too high for a first attempt at inlay with an already finished neck. suggestions? examples? Thanks, -Dana

    the general consensus is that they are CNC registration marks for their template cutting. it indicates to the machine which body style the blank is for.
