PM sent your email didnt work

i was torn between 3 options. literally, i just couldnt decide what i wanted most. with the blackmirror not an option anymore i think im going with the original plan,

can i get some info on the distressed stuff?

thats not an option anymore... *i wish i could delete or restart this poll*

ugh, talked to the guy at Kamn guitars again today and he said that the the process of making a blackmirror top is still far off, so i guess im going to have to scrap that option its between stripes or classic mirror now

how the hell have i been misspelling "sentinel" wrong every time in these threads....lol, all my files are spelled right but this board makes me want to type it wrong for some reason :-p

http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.ph...opic=21319&st=0 okay for those of you not familiar with this long waited project, this is it now the poll... i cant decide between my originally planned stripe top, the laters thought about Mirror Ball top like Paul Stanley, or a new "Black Mirror" top the first looks like THIS the second would be like this. i'd rather go with a "real" broken glass look than the "pretty" one KISS uses the third is a black mirror. i talked to the guy at kamn guitars and he said he is working something out to maybe make this possible. it would pretty much be black broken glass, cool eh? so between these 3 options, which hardware to use? gold means gold trem, gold knobs, gold fretwire rest is pretty basic which top to use? all help and input greatly appreciated! and to answer your rpobable question: doug and I are commencing on this in a week or two. we are finalizing the specs now and this is something ive been stuck on so i'm leaving it up to you guys!

posted a poll in the vote forum regarding hardware color and the top please respond!

http://www.kamnguitars.com/ you guys think this guy looks legit? im kinda skeptical about sending money and a guitar to a guy across the continent and just crossing my fingers i dont get ripped off...

i dont see how i'd ever get brass inlaid on this thing...

which would look like:

okay, ive taken your ideas of making it a little more classy into consideration how about this: quilt maple or bubinga top, or w/e solid black like a black beauty and instead of the huge white trans stripes, thin almost pinstripping instead spread out more so its more black than stripes. and the stripes be more of an aged/golden with the trans-quilt under neath it to give it some 3d depth back natural cream/black binding, gold hardware, gold block inlays sound better?

love it reminds me of my "buzz saw" Cadillac i made a drawup of

yours is already being made while mine is months from start time...ugh...

thanks for the kind words and some inspiration i dont know about just doing it black though, black's the furthest thing from original..

it joins at the 19th, thats not that bad. just 4 frets i need to actually reach for, and i barely use anything past 20 anyway

i love those new MS dean v's. i want one baddd!

the expenses are on par with just about any other USA made guitar out there and this is about as "original" as any other guitar on this board. nothings original anymore, just different takes on old ideas. as far as figured woods go, i think quilt bubinga is a nice figured wood. how is that bad?

i was thinking about it, and should i get a "cracked mirror" job done to this, or does my black/white paintjob look like a cooler idea?

link worked for me but only fo a minute. couldnt enlarge any of the pics. try uploading them to photobucket or something looks great from what i saw i wanna see your other designs too

damnit, no matter how hard i try i cant come up with something original well, on the plus side, yours is a LOT longer, heh

havnt asked him yet. i will when i go to pick up one of my guitars from him in 2 weeks.

whats the usual rate to get this done professionally?

yeah, ive used that fret/bridge calc a few times for my current build design if i were to get him to help me do this, id obviously have a template and know where to put it, i was just wondering beyond the basic instructions how hard it is and how easy it is to **** the entire guitar up forever

hey guys i was thinking of getting this old guitar and floyding it up. my brothers taking woodshop and stuff again this semester at his highschool so he could probably give me a hand with this, but how hard is it to do? or should i just leave something like this to profe$$ionals?
