yeah i agree daveq, my freind has perfect pich, he hates it! its a curse. i'll stick with regular. and jimmy page is one of the kings of slop! but we still love him!

yeah well ive patented burping the abc's so your not alowed to do that anymore! unless you pay me 2 cents a letter and give full copyrights to me! and charge others 2 MILLION dollars to learn the "proper technic".

interesting, i'd be interested in it, they only thing is if your inlay work is not PERFECT it will show every little defect.

ha ha goat you rule! i personally dont think its worth it, unless you play alot of open cords. i dont so i wont spend that kinda cash. and if i understand correctly the nut is moved towards the bridge by 1 or 2 mm. i have a freind who has a tom anderson with this system maybe he'll let me borrow it and i will get the lowdown for you guys. we dont need no stinkin coarse ! we can do it our selves! buzz feiten, buzz shmeiten thats what i say!

ooooooh maaaaaaan i played it at our show last night!!!!! wooo hooo it was awsome! it sounds ssoooo nice to! i already have two shops up here that want some to sell in there stores! looks like my guitar business dream might come true! guess i better get crackin on these guitars!

i used to have a raj guitar! i loved it until the punk who traded me for my crapper wanted his back! what an indian giver! anyway it was nice i think they are a small custom guitar company but im not to sure. the one i had was a blue flamed top 80's rocker with a floyd rose i really like it. id go for it! oh and if you live in nashville, my freaind had to pawn off his prs hollow body mccarty, what an idiot! i want to go get it! he he he

basey - i will be using it for finishing my album so i will give you guys a clip when its recorded. brian- yeah i will defenetly enter it next month, i missed this minth by two days! oh well.. and yeah it is a very comfortable guitar to playstanding or sitting down. guitarfrenzy- i used a glue in tennon for this hollow body, and behlen instrument laquer(wich works great!) the solid body that im doing has the neck jiont going all the way past the bridge, its almost finished its a blue flamed top, im putting on one of the last two coats of laquer as soon as i get off this pc! and i will post picks!

ha ha to true, oh well next month i'll have about three guitars to enter!

sort of but there blue and its like squares of sand paper glued to them. but you have the right idea.

i almost started to cry, i missed the entry by two !#$$ing days! i shouldve read what the contest was gonna be earlier, i didnt even think about it until this morning and didnt read it until tonight. oh well maybe next month. the tele is nice though so i voted for that

its a 4.5" disk that has squares of abrasive diisks glued around it they come in 30 50 and 80 grit. they work well. yes the are aggresive tools but once you get used to them it is a good 50$ investment. 30$ if you want the cheaper ones. the disks are like 7$ at lowes or depot. i really like it ive usaed it on another top allready and it cuts the shaping time in half! but the finish is ruff so i then use 100 grit to smooth it out a bit.

it might look nice with a 1/8 thick peice of ebony or walnut or maple or etc.............................................................

knobs knobs knobs !!!!!! alright!

yeah you can i did with a peice of zebra wood.the grains lined up nice but if yours dont you can use a strip of another wood to "break up" the joint line and add decorative design to the top

hey canuk yeah it is. i decided to strip off the varnish and go with laquer, it set me back alot of time but i love the finished product! ive been playing it all day! now im never gonna get work done! funkle ive just made templates for everything! you can never have to many! as far as carving the inside im gonna use a new angle grider i just bought instead of doing it by hand! its still not as good as a cnc mill would be but i dont have money or the room for one of them! i will keep thinking of new ways to improve on making these though. ive learned soooooo much just from this first one. ive designed and built a tool that you can route the binding channel on a guitar by using a regular router that floats above the body, this is very handy for carved tops! and you can change the depth of the binding channel also. ive also designed a new tennon for my necks on the hollow bodies so that they are really strong and go into the body 1" past the neck pickup. the next hollow body that im currently working on is a mahogany back with bubingawith cannary racing stripes top/ and a canary laminate neck. its looking sweet!

ha ha yeah i need to take some better pics! the body back was hollowed out completely except at the bridge and the neck . and yeah its a carved top that was hard to carve out i had to do both outside and the inside and i kept the hole thing 1/4 thick except at the bride were it stayed tight to the body back. ive recently changed my way of building them so my next one will be even better!

We are called ROOTED, go to www.rootedmusic.com for our show listings. but we are playing wed at bethlehem catholic for a benefit and on thurs at croc rock in allentown, hope to see ya there! introduce yourself!

www.luthiersupply.com have fun! hes a great guy to do business with!

hey goat , when you comming to one of my shows? you live close to me, i'll let you play this guitar if you want.

ovation, i used two volumes cause i like to make noises with the switch and this way i can turn one of the pups down and do vibrato effects. the pups are single coils so there is no special wiring. the solid body im doing will have a push pull pot that will tap the coils, but that needs a few more clear coats.

the fret board is the same thickness,could be the photo. but that seems like a cool idea derek. snork the body is off set so yeah the bottom bought is larger than the top. rob it sounds great! its got a nice warm tone but its not to "bassy" and it has nice highs. it plays like a prs and it definetly has a "hollow" sound to it but its not to hollow like a 335.

fret board, pickup rings, truss rod cover are all wenge. the top,and neck are mahogany back is walnut and has maple/blackwalnut/bass wood for bindings. pickups are vintage vibe soapbars in humbucker size(they sound great i highly recommend him) bridge is a gotoh 510, but im having my own designed as we speak. i did 2 volumes instead of a tone cause i never use my tone.

i like depaul, hes a nice guy and he has nice quallity material!

My Webpage check em out and let me know what you guys think. i hope to get some good photos soon, my brother in law is a pro photographer so i will have a real web site up soon. could it get guitar of the month? it sounds great! the neck is tung oiled and then polished with butchers wax. man it is smooth and there is no friction at all!

hey derek, i tried your full serve idea and it is taking forever to upload the pics so im gonna try something else, cause i have dial u and i think that is why there not uploading.
