  3. Fedex Guitar

    in In Progress and Finished Work

    Posted

    Very nice design, great looking guitar.... but how are you going to ship it to the head office... with DHL? :D

    Sorry couldn't resist... B)

    It won't fit into there little vans. :D

    hey if you ever wanna play with lighting up logos on something like that get ahold of me... I have some ideas to throw your way... of course it involves liquid casting resin and some color additives and LED's and such, but if interested i will go into detail a little more later... :D

    I am always up to hear new ideals.

    Here is the FedEx neck. I was trying to keep the white flowing down the neck and still incorporate the black, orange and purple.

    The tune keys, truss-rod cover and nut are black.

    I still don’t know about the neck paint scheme I might have to due another one and let it go with two necks heck it has five straps that go with it.

    I am happy with how the headstock design came out. I did try several other designs and it really was a pain to come up with something that blended with the whole guitar and was simple yet cool.

  8. #1 Guitar? Some People

    in In Progress and Finished Work

    Are freaking nuts!

    I made a quick mockup of this some time ago as a joke. I emailed it to my friend back home about three months ago for a laugh. He calls me tonight and says he found someone that wants it made. I priced it at $4000.00 and said if he wants that he can pay this. He said it’s not a he! I said nothing, what can you say to that.

    It is not something I want to make but if she says I’ll pay that I don’t know what I am going to do.

    Funny none the less.

    Yes the Behringer cabs are very good I also like the Kustom head too and have not had any problems with them in three years. I do run the Behringer cabs sometimes with my Tube Works 6190 for a different sound.

    I am very impressed with the Behringer lineup so about 9 months ago I got a Behringer ultracoustic ACX 1000 and I am dang happy I did, I love that thing.

    Well it’s not done yet. I put a test neck on it and strung it up to make sure all the wiring is working and the switches are doing what they are supposed to do. All is good to go!

    The headstock in my mind will look like an airplane from side view with a little angle, wing on the downside.

    Just some more pics.

  13. Best Router Brand?

    in Tools and Shop Chat

    Posted

    This is the router I got today. I chose this one due to the ease of adjustability in depth change and from fixed to plunge base.

    IMO, I don’t like the little knob adjusters for depth change. The one that I got has big dial around the motor that works like a big screw on the fixed base. The plunge base is a slide that changes the depth with a little stair like thing on the base ring that can add an inch to the depth at bottom end if you move it in and out of the way of the depth rod.

    Ok I found some more numbers inside the treble f hole here is how they look (4271 23). I am thinking the more I look at the L-40 (inside the bass f hole) that the top of the 4 is not all there and what looks to be a 0 that is the same height as the partial 4. If you finish of the 4 it would leave room to make the 0 into an 8. So I think it is an L-48 basic guitar and the numbers on the treble side are the batch numbers and it is in the 1946 to 1952 range.

    Scroll down on that page to where they discuss the headstock logos.  Looks like post-WWII (after 1948) to me.

    I agree with you on that and I have seen a close up picture of him with the guitar and it looked like he was in his late thirties. My bride is 26 her mom is 45 her mom’s mom just passed away three weeks ago at 67 so I am just estimating the guitars age at 70. It looks like the guitar pic in the L-4 models but with f sounds it could be a younger guitar seeing how that model was made from 1935 and discontinued in 1956.

    This one is going to be two guitars. One with a lighted shouting star for a friend and one with out the shouting star with PH cap. You can see the shouting star in the diagram.
