We all know it was Ed Roman and his minions...

Hey this is pointed towards DC, MD builders. Im having a pretty free summer and I was wondering if by any chance any of you guys could just help me out or something. I know this sounds weird but I want to take advantage of my free time this summer with someone with more experience than me. I would pay for everything, and supply myself with everything, its just for help and guidance. Or if any of you guys know a local luthier?

Well, you have to be undead for at least 200 years and be able to get past the crocks and piranhas in the Moat out front, and, of course, WOD has to like you, hehehe. If he doesn't, you'll be dinner and your innards will be hanging from the Maple Tree out back next to a few Teles. It's a tough application, I know...
In the words of Billy Madison:

or something like that

haha drak im gonna drive over to your place and watch what you do and try to learn what im still a little lost on. any positions open for an apprentice?
-
-
haha no time is too soon for a custom guitar...though it might not be that custom to his order if he cant talk. if it makes him clap and giggle than thats good enough right?
-
I got a used set for 81's and 85's, ill sell them to you for 100?
-
haha blue, you should listen to some faith no more, they have some heavy bass lines, they kinda remind me of RHCP's early work where flea actually whooped out that bass like a man
-
My friend let me listen to the Faith no More version and my hair just shot up, I was just having my cigarrette listening to it with headphones and I got pumped for no reason. Faith no Mores by far for me
-
My words of advice is dont move too fast and dont EVER say or think "EH, its alright like that"...with a little more time and effort its completely worth it
-
Haha theres no way i can steal this? I live in Bethesda, how close is that?
-
SSR's are cool
-
Oh yeah thats what I meant, I would use the cover template and do my method.
-
Hmm I have a tedious idea. Take the cavity cover template and draw it on a piece of thin scrap wood of some sort. Than drill press inside the area than when I need to, that my oscilatting sander and sand inside in the lines untill its perfect. Hopefully that makes sense.
-
Im working on something right now and what has always baffled me was I bought the template for the PRS from guitarbuildingtemplates.com and they give you a backside template with the control cavity routing guide, but also and addition template for the cavity cover. Just wondering, how do I make the lip for the cavity?
I know theres an easy solution for this but I'm slow
-
Oooo alright, do you know exactly what was wrong with this batch?
-
Haha well sorry for flooding your thread with hopes of going to your school oneday. Again, these guitars are insane...of what the laquer didnt mess up, it looks awesome. Your laquer is a scret formula isnt it?
-
Haha my friend impulse bought a 2004 f-150 crew cab fx4 edition. badass truck.
-
Yeah....why dont you live down the street? Where in australia do you live anyways?

How long would have it been? That makes me mad because I wouldve LOVED to learn from you. There has to be eight people? Haha I'll be your assistant
And aslo..I actually could pay for it...well if you get enough people, keep me informed
-
Damn it these last three guitars have been insane. Are you still doing that guitar school? Id be willing to raise the money to do that in a heartbeat
-
haha i thought that was in like alabama or something not in MD, thats hilarious
-
Wow this is was a tough month but that bass just kills me. Gorgeous spalt and just a flawless job. I also loved Setchs long awaited Les paul. Godins was awesome too. the tele had a color and clear on it and the leviathans colors were nice

Well because the weather just started getting nice so I started working but my mom took the camera because she was out in korea and japan. So now the cameras back you get to see my stuff. Well the les paul and double cutaway bodies are worthless and are just there for fun, im not going to use them because some things went wrong with them but Im making those necks and that body I made from that top MetalMatt gave me. I used alder for that body. Birdseye prs style is going on that guitar. And...wow i forget what type of wood that neck is made out of. Oh yeah, I got a great deal of Iroko at the local wood store. Dimensions of the board was 168x14x2. All of that was for 170. 8 blanks . Well the stuff has a little figure in it, can't wait to get a planer to thin the thing down a bit. Well heres the pictures.
