    I know I've said this before about your builds but...... Phenomenal, just absolutely phenomenal....like usual. SR

    Wow. This is very nicely done, John. Very impressive to look at. I wasn't really feeling the white sides until you turned it over and the black neck join is visible. Then it rocks. How bad is it going to pi$$ you off when the face gets scratched? It will get scrached. SR

    Glad to see you moved the sapwood to the outside on the limba. SR

    Wow. That thing is very art deco. The attention to detail is amazing...and there are a ton of details. The scarf joint looks very cool. Hopefully we'll get a bigger pik of that when it's done. Very nicely done! SR

    You will be missed. Your voice was a breath of fresh air here. SR

    This is slicker 'n green owl sh*t Paulie! Did attaching the fretboard and Walnut neck "binding" pose any problems since the neck already had a body on it? And how do the blues engines sound? I've not heard them before. SR

    Thanks for showing us progress on this one. I'm gonna enjoy watching you work out all the details and make your final decisions. This one's gonna be very cool. SR

    Mark, how did you angle the face before carving? Shim and run through the planer? SR
  9. ScottR
    That is a beautiful guitar. Very nicely done! SR

    Well, pop them on up here already. Been wondering where you went mate. I was hoping weren't just teasing us with these shots of lovely work and blue dye, only to walk away and leave us hanging.... SR
  11. ScottR
    Exactly. What he said. SR

    Yeah, I've heard that's a pretty town. That's strange about the difficulty of finding hardwoods, when so many nice ones come from there. I''ve got Cocobolo, and Bocote that came from there and mahagony that probably did. I would love to find some Desert Ironwood for a carving. All I can find is already carved and is at the aforementioned mercados. Although the prices are pretty good so I've seriously considered buying a carving and using it for a carving.... which is kind of what Mike did with his flea market find. He says as he tries to bring this back from a 100% hijack--Sorry about that Mike. SR

    Hey Jose, they keep all that kind of stuff in the mercados up in the border towns for the turistas. At least they did when I lived on the border. And subdued is exactly the right word. Dude your English is better than that of most of the people I know on this side of the river. SR

    This came out really nice Mike. I really like way the grain in the front wood showed up. Did you have to dye it any to match the back or did you just oil it and voile! Looks like you need to toss some weed and feed on the lawn tho' dude! All joking aside, good job! SR
  15. ScottR
    Looks great! How did it "go mental"? SR
  16. ScottR
    What? You want a tight fit don't you? You just taper the tip and pound it in with a mallet. Just kidding! I've used toothpicks and match sticks, but they are a bit soft. I've found hardwood dowels down to 1/8th in. at Lowes. Glue it in, drill a new pilot hole, and it's good to go. SR
  17. ScottR
    Glue a dowel into the hole and screw into that. SR
  18. ScottR
    That was insanely well done Erik. SR
  19. ScottR
    Doesn't sound like you're a fan of the stuff. Maybe you could wet sand with mineral oil as a lubricant. Of course, you'd then need a way to clean it off before spraying again. Surely there's a way to do that..... SR
  20. ScottR
    Man I love this thing! SR
  21. ScottR
    Looks good Henry. Very nice joins on your wood. You have to look very closely to be able to tell it's not made from one piece of maple. That one pickup looks kind of lonely all by itself though. SR
  22. ScottR
    Well, yeah........David's pretty good. Understatement of the year! It's hard to hear a Gilmour riff and not know who it is. When I think back to the music I grew up with, pretty much a steady diet of Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, I gotta throw one more out there. Jimmy Page. I know he seems to be everbody's favorite to put down....too sloppy they say, but he was definitely a forerunner in the shaping of sound. And it's hard to deny that just hearing the beginning of one his riffs wil identify who playing it. And after 40 years it still sounds great. SR
  23. ScottR
    Left handed compliment aside, nicely done Mike. SR
  24. ScottR
    Man, that really is wicked! SR
  25. ScottR
    You are going to do black and sand back anyway right? Dyeing the inside of the routes at that time seems like the natural way to go. Good call . SR
