  1. That's some beeyootiful Black Limba. Sweet looking guitar! I had always wondered if the Black and White Limba were variations on a species or not, so thanks for sharing about that, Chris!
  2. Hi Everybody! My two favorite sites to visit are here and Talkbass.com. Over there, the general consensus seems to be that "tonewood" is a myth and that the tone of your instrument comes from constuction style/quality and electronics. As a matter of fact they have had multiple "Tone Wars" over there about it, thus the TW1 in the thread title. What's your take? Have you played two instruments that are identical except for the woods used and noticed a difference that you could discern in a blind A/B test? Does the wood you use in your guitars really affect the tone they produce or is it just aesthetics, so long as they are structurally sound and well put together?
  3. Neil, I'm pretty sure he means the areas that "should" be white, ie- the skeleton. Looks awesome man, can't wait to see it in progress!!
  4. Cool - tastefully unique and artistic build. I'm looking forward to seeing studio pics of it!
  5. email me at john.ruiz1 @ gmail . I'd love to discuss buying a body blank or two from ya.
  6. Wow, FANTASTIC deal on those body blanks. Congrats! Looking forward to seeing what you make of em!
  7. If that were made of TNT, it would be of the Superfly variety.
  8. That's...large (that's what she said) I dig the stripes.
  9. That is looking GREAT! I can't wait to see (hear??) the finished product! Love the theme!
  10. Yeah, the pic is also filled with thin horizontal lines to achieve the effect i want. I've held the cover under a half inch of clear acrylic and it still worked fine, so i'm not overly concerned about the thickness of the cover piece. I'm mostly concerned with how to keep glue from touching the top of the ridged jewel case material while still being secure. My copy of that disc is pretty worn out anyway, so if i have to buy a new one for the case, i won't be too upset.
  11. Well, I have been pondering, and one solution that has popped into mind was to create an acrylic casing for the inlay, basically, inlay it into another piece of acrylic, then put a thin acrylic backing on that, only gluing around the edges, leaving the top and back surfaces of the art untouched by epoxy. It seems like a hassle, though. Any other ideas?
