    Did you mix Borax in the water first? http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/swirled.htm

    The Prodigal returns! I was just talking about you on another forum.

    That black (neoprene?) foam stuff leaves black marks on some of my guitars. Others it doesn't bother. All of them are polywhatever finishes, so who knows? As for losing grip with a towel, I don't worry about that. I'm not that klutzy, and I don't let other people get that close. Not without a wad of cash in hand.

    Just to be on the safe side you could just throw a soft cotton towel over the stand.

    The slotted holes are so the thing will fit different screw spacing. No problem. Now, if the string spacing is the same you're good.

    Thats a very good method but relies on very accurate measurement and bridge placement for the guide holes. It also relies on you being able to drill in a straight line and to be able to drill without the bit wandering - so not easy to do without a large drill press, especially for a beginner Wez, I've done it exactly once with a cordless drill and not much else. It turned out pretty good. The secret is to go slow, don't hurry, and go slow. And don't hurry.

    I'm curious how the cedar/limba combo will sound. I think most people would intuitively choose spruce with the limba, but it may just be what my eyes want to see. Hurry up, willya?

    Check out St. Moritz Guitars. Lou is a good guy and specializes in SGs. He recently finished a "mirror image" of Iommi's original mouse SG. http://reranch.com/reranch/viewtopic.php?t=13649

    Opinions vary, but I use Titebond Original (or Elmer's, whichever is handy).

    My buddy has one. It's a nice guitar, and that's not a bad price. Buy it.

    Be aware that Reranch is not open 24/7. The owner is a working musician who sells paint on the side, so be patient. (The store should be open today, but probably not for long.)

    Yeah, so like what's up with this?

    I know where there's a 4+2 neck for $32. http://store.guitarfetish.com/ebaxevhstnec.html

    I had to look a little bit to find the thread, but it can be done. http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.ph...st&p=154869

    These are off the top of my head, but you can look them up. A. Copyright generally applies to written work, excluding titles. Think poetry, prose, music. B. Patent is for inventions, or original or modified design. Think Tremol-No. C. Trademark is what you're looking for here. It's for an easily identifiable shape, pattern, etc. that is associated with an entity. Think Fender headstock. Sorry, but confusing those terms is one of my pet peeves.

    If I was one to gossip, I'd tell you that I found it here. If I was one to gossip.

    Is it just me? click

    Looks good to me. Mock it up before you start drilling, get everything lined up, measure, measure, measure.

    You guys want to know more about the guy behind the guitars? Check out John Catto's Myspace page.

    Be sure you call for an appointment.

    A Strat neck heel will work in a Tele pocket without mods. The curved shape will leave gaps in the corners, but if your neck has a 22nd fret overhang, you're gold. Gold, Jerry.

    Nitro is what Curtis Novak uses on his guitars. Check out this one: http://www.curtisnovak.com/guitars/replitar-SOR-06-37/

    Short answer: Yes. Longer answer: Ever hear of Eddie Van Halen? That Frankenstein thing? Ever seen an old hot rod? Guys have been doing it with cars since there have been cars. Guitars aren't that much different, except for the engine, wheels, transmission, axles, etc. You know what I mean. Be prepared to do a lot of fitting and refitting. And refitting. I have 3 junkbox dogs and I think they're great. They are not pretty, they are not perfect, but they are players. I know if something happens to one of them it's not that big a deal because they are replaceable. Just be prepared to work on them.
