    I wouldn't sit down to play it if I were you.

    I've been watching his stuff for a while, but it seemed like some of his bodies had the proportions all wrong. Like way oversized pickup & control cavities & stuff.

    Pizzicato

    There's something you don't hear every day. Doesn't surprise me a bit.

    Yeah, I lived in Moore until mid '74, then we moved out to Yukon. But hey, if you got nothin' better to do come on out to Charley's!

    Yeah, we're thinking about adding it to the song list for the drunks who like to yell "FREEBIRD!"

    Horrifying, yet I can't help but stare at it. Like a car wreck.

    Where are you, geographically speaking? This guy is really good. I've seen some of his repair and resto work on some older flattops. Only problem is, he's so busy you need an appointment to get your guitar in. He's honest, too. One time I bought a bunch of parts, and when I went back a couple months later he handed me a buck. Said he overcharged me the last time. How often do you see that these days?

    Votin' for Godin, warts and all. Different without being radical. Looks like something you could play for 4 or 5 sets without getting worn out. Hope my first scratch build turns out half that good.

    A buddy just got a Full Drive and told me the book on it says it will run on 9-18 volts. The more voltage, the more "tone." That what he said, anyway.

    How about a John 5 style headstock but 6 on a side? ← That;s what the USA Custom 12 neck looks like. I thinkn fenders 12 models look like that too. ← Yeah, there you go.

    Life, sure. Aches and pains (not to mention tuition) is what sucks.

    Those came in the Fender & Squier Tom Delonge Strats, and the Squier Jason Ellis Showmaster. Since they're only used in the bridge position on those two, I'd think that would be all they're good for. As always, your mileage may vary.

    ... at Alice's Restaurant. Yup. Getting old sucks.
  17. marksound
    Yeah. What the hell were they thinking?

    You didn't say, but I guess you're using the trem a fair amount? Bending the strings a lot? I don't know. I've played strats for a long time and I've never broken strings like that. But anyway, have you tried Big Bends Nut Sauce?

    I've liked that body shape since the first time I saw Fang.

    Personally, I'd dowel the old holes. Dan Erlewine (in an issue of Vintage Guitar) demonstrated a simple technique. Once the old holes are drilled to the size of your dowel, stick the end of the dowel all the way in and mark it. Then take it out and with a sharp utility blade or razor blade or whatever, roll the dowel on a hard surface until it's scored deep enough to snap off. Then just smooth up the end and glue it in. Repeat.

    http://froogle.google.com/ http://shopping.yahoo.com/ http://www.pricegrabber.com/ The info's out there. All you have to do is find it.

    Right. Built or bought, the fret job is mandatory.

    I've searched and read all the tuts at least 2 or 3 times so somebody slap me if I missed this. Has anyone had experience with adding binding and inlays to an existing neck? Like a Mighty Mite or something similar? I'm kicking an idea around and if it would be easier and cheaper to work on a bought neck, that's what I'd rather do. Thanks.

    American Musical Supply, $1399.95 http://www.americanmusical.com/item--i-FEN-117602-806.html Comes with the case, free shipping. If you find a lower price, they'll match it. And if you put it on plastic, they'll bill in 5 installments. I've bought 2 guitars from them, and they both arrived early and perfectly set up. I'm very happy with their customer service.
