    That is amazing cool! I actually like the colored edge...it kinda makes it look active somehow. I can imagine looking at the edge under a microscope and seeing tiny rust monsters eating away at the wood grain. I really admire the creativity of your projects and the artistic nature of your work. It succeeds on multiple levels. Put me on the list of those wanting know how this is done as well. SR

    Intelioat and Sihl make a coated canvas for UV inkjet printers that print beautifully. Check your local digital printing companies and you should be able to find one that can do that for you. SR

    Acrylic gets CNC'd all the time...by sign companies. Like most materials it's just a matter of the proper bit and correct (spindle) speed and feed (rate). SR

    Routing a binding channel would be very tricky since you have alread carved the top. If it were me, I'd just sand the tip of that horn back until the chip is gone and then blend the curves till its smooth. When you are done I doubt anyone will know that horn is 1/8th inch shorter. It will be a little work to get the entire thickness mahagany and all reshaped, but probably less than you'd think. SR

    You have the projects crossed up. The Iceman has the ebonized neck. The twins are wenge/limba. Doh! In that case, I'd go with the limba to balance your pinstripe theme. SR
  7. ScottR
    Yeah, I've done that. Or you can paint or stain the insides of the holes black and get the same look with more depth using clear epoxy. SR
  8. ScottR
    Neither. I'd go with the ebonized neck wood and let it visualy tie back to that. SR

    The only advantage or disadvantage is the little bit of time saved or expended, depending on which way you go. SR
  10. ScottR
    Yes, but that is the standard method for inlaying. Just use a sanding block. Epoxy is not especially difficult to sand. SR

    That completely and totally sucks . It's a good thing you held off the oil to wait and see..... SR

    Also, for pure tone, Robin Trower is just loaded with it. Bridge of Sighs Hanah Victims of the Fury to name but a few. SR

    Great! I love your work. Speaking of which it's been a while since we've seen anything of the rising sun. SR

    Thanks Muzz. I luv carving these JS style things. Has to be my fave body shape out there. Have another one starting later this wee, whole thing carved from one chunk of sapele (except the fret board) Neck & body as one chunk. I might take some piks & put it up. wotcha rekon ? Please. SR
  16. ScottR
    Carve looks good Tom. And that's a great chunk of maple! I's gonna be hot all dyed up. SR

    After showing you that, I'm going to chime in with Kill. I micromesh up to 12,000 and then use the polish/swirl remover like Kill does and get a very good polished finish. I actually had a comment that my GOTM entry almost looked too shiny. Give that a shot first and then spend the bucks if you think you need to. Well spend more buck if you think you need to, micromesh is not real cheap, but it lasts halfway to forever. SR

    That looks pretty dang cool! SR

    Tom, Have you read this one? It may not give you all the answers...but it'll get pretty close. http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.php?showtopic=42539 SR

    It's possible the belt was poorly made, one edge longer than the other. Have you tried turning it around and running against the arrows? If so did it track off in the same direction? SR
  21. ScottR
    I had not heard of that ebonizing process before. I'm gonna have to try it. Not You mentioned painting with rust on one of his builds a while back. Is this the same or a similar process? SR
  22. ScottR
    Danmme, I can't wait to see this thing put together. SR
  23. ScottR
    Well of course. That makes perfect sense. You one sharp cookie mista! Seriously, your builds are full of great ideas. I will join the many that have said thanks for passing them on. It's really pretty hard to beleive that the Texas Tele was your first. SR

    Mark, This is sweet....like usual. How did you "ease the edge" of that maple cap to get such a uniform faux binding top view? I get how the side is done, but have never seen the way the top edge is created. SR
  25. ScottR
    I hadn't noticed the matching fret markers before now or how nicely the headstock complements the body shape. Nicely done. This has a fascinating combination of retro looks juxtapositioned with never seen before features. Very cool. I can almost hear that different drummer you're dancin' to. What do all those controls do? SR
