you and clavin have the same avatar.

Really, I think each of those strings has a distinclty different sound, earnie balls v. GHS strings inparticular sound extremely different. But maybe its just me, theres a lot of factors at play when it comes to strings.

I use DR Black Beauties, DR is a damn good string all around, just look at the gauges and pick which one you want, and IMO you cant go wrong. Theyre more expensive, but in my experiences theyve lasted a lot longer than earnie balls or D'Addarios.

coming from santa himself, that means something!

another thing i dont get, Unless your the owner of BC Rich guitars, how can you make... a BC Rich Impaler?

....i have a feeling something kinda funny is about to happen P.S. I think that a wave inlay would look really good in the 12th fret position.

im goin to george mason next year Woooo Im lookin at engineering and stuff like that, but still not sure what i wanna do.

Ill nominate scott rosenberger, he always seems to keep a cool head, i think he'd keep everything together very well. Ill nominate crafty too

OH SNAP!

simple, you copy a guitar thats not AS famous, but still kinda famous.

by flat i believe (correct me if im wrong) that you just need to sand the finish thats on the guitar till its flat (as in level) and flat (as in shininess). Ive refinished a few crappy guitars and there was no need to sand it all the way back down to the wood if you are painting with solid colors. You are basically going to need to sand only the finish, keeping it level (dont focus with the sand paper too much on one area or you will get a dip in the final finish). This will give your color coats something to stick to, if you just paint over top of the unsanded clearcoat, then the paint will probably peel or flake off. Someone correct me if im wrong, but this has worked for me on a few guitars now...I hope im right.. .lol

I dont know if this is good advice, but why glue it together to get thickness when you could glue it to another material, that way you wont be wasting all that abalone.

yeah, ive got a pretty decent printer here. I think im gonna try out this waterslide decal paper with my printer. I want it to look nice, so if it turns out a little bit off then ill look around for another solution i supopse thanks again, Louis

Ok, I found a site where i think im gonna order these papers from, and I read this at the bottom of the page. "NOTE: Due to shipping regulations, we are unable to ship Krylon acrylic spray with our Inkjet decal paper. You can buy this locally. It is available at Loews, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, Walmart, etc. Any acrylic clear coat spray will work. Note that the laser/color copier paper does not require application of the spray." http://www.decalpaper.com/inkjet.html It recommends using acryllic laquer, I'm not really sure if this is because they have a thing for kylon or not. I have polyurethane **EDIT - didnt mean to say laquer here** sealing the base coat now. Would I be better off clearing over the decals with the krylon it says to use, or should I stick with the polyurethane that I already have laid down? Thanks again, - Louis

Ok, for the pink floyd tribute strat ive got going for me i was wondering how i should go about the characters. I have a clearcoat over the base coats, and I was just wondering if i wanted to go about doing decals, a) what should i get kinkos to print them out as, and where can i find a high quality picture of the pink floyd characters. Ive got a pretty good scanner, so im thinking about scanning the logos from the actual album cover at a very high quality and taking the files to kinkos to get them printed out. ANY suggestions at all as to how to go about doing this would be much appreciated, im sorta in the dark on this one.

haha, god, mind washers, come on man, video games are entertainment. If you wanna call video games mind washers, call TV, music, and anything else that people do stricly for entertainment and not productivity mind washers too.

Hey mitch, where you from?

ok thats what i thought, that "vintage" sound i guess can be a good way to jack up the price of anything i suppose

Oh my gosh, thats terrible, I hate to hear stuff like that. RIP Steve

just look, someone tell me if this is actually worth it... i cant see how it is... http://cgi.ebay.com/60s-Fender-Strat-Tele-...1QQcmdZViewItem

So, i glue on an ebony fretboard to my bass, checked it over twice, went out for the night. I was happy knowing that the next morning id have a nice fret board on the bass finally. But nope, i came home in the morning, looked at it... seemless joints, but over night a clamp slid out of line, so at the nut, it was offline with the neck by about 1/8". BTW, this FB is preslotted and pre radiused. So i melted it off with an iron and scraped off all the dried glue, and took it into woodshop. This time i used wood clamps instead of C clamps. I spread the glue onto the neck again, and re glued the fret board. FINALLY!! a clean job, perfectly online, and all the clamps were sturdy and had no chance of moving. But I made the mistake of not using a caul with the radius. The water based glue supposedly made the fret board cup, and now it looks like there is a radius in the opposite direction. (Of course, i took the fretboard off, and in my rage cut my hands numerous times. I didnt pay attention to where the iron was either and have many burns on them). But oh well, heres my question, my shop teacher seems to think we could still save the fret board by putting 2 hardwood rails on the edges of the fretboard and clamping it that way, and sort of bending it back. He seems to think this will work, and i waited so long for LMII to send me this fretboard, so i really dont want to have to order a new one. I plan on truing the radius up with a radius block too after i glue it. So i think this should be a decent fix, let me know if you guys see any trouble ahead. Thanks again - Louis

heh, heh, yeah, i got all the hardware for it, its a pink floyd tribute only cosmetically, the rest is standard squier hardware. The tuners and pickups however are upgraded (genuine fender tuners and texas special pups).

double post, sorry

thanks for the compliments guys, and yeah I am going to be painting stuff over the wall. hopefully soon. Im just tryin to get an artist to do it for me, cuz I dont really have much skill in painting. Taping off lines is easy though, so i did what I could.

decided to do some painting on this one. not much to say here, im not gonna give away any of the little graphic ideas of characters im gonna put on here, but ill just post what ive done so far. And heres the rear view. Im having a lot of fun doin this one. I made a neck in woodshop a few days ago that i plan on painting too.
