doesnt paulie in aeolian make his own rods like the prs double compressions ones ? maby try that. he gets some very thin necks onto his chromeboy clones for customers.

hi paulie, i saw a a lot of acoustic guitars in the workshop. but no thread ? surly with that many guitars there should be a thread

holy multilaminated madness batman

might not be. if your guitar centre line is straight with your neck line then you should be able to line up the join between the D&G saddles.

but if you are not sure then take it to a good tech or luthier.

the posts might be a little bit off line aswell. i put a schaller on my les paul a few years back & got it wrong because of that. but thankfully Paulie in Aeolian was able to sort it for me.

I think i would just oil that pale looking one. its perfect just the way it is.

I heard about those cat5 amps. Didnt gary moore use a cat5 head with marshall cabs ?

the other thing i tink i should mention. I talked to a few other people before i was pointed to aeolian. the quotes i got were between €4000 - €6000. some places just wudent take the comision. so its not like you can even just go to a store & get something like this.

That tele is excellent.

There realy is no comparing one of those to a bolt on guitar. I played a JS single piece he has with a trap neck on it & just so nice to have in your hands. even with a square neck it just felt right.

costs are funny with him. he hates charging loads of cash for his work, says it doesnt "feel right" because he finds it so easy to do this stuff it not even like its proper work to him.

but i kinda have to say good things about the lotus because I HAVE ONE ORDERD

for a custom built playable sculpture the price is a joke, its like stealing.

Im not sure about the Fholes. but its still a cool shape. what color will you be making it ?

Most of ibanez guitars are a poly finish. Id try some micromesh to see if you can polish it out. if it was a cellulose they would make a song & dance about it on their website spec page.

Pauliemc JS, great build and finish. However to much of a clone to get my vote.

I dont think it to much clone. I wish Ibanez would make a js like this. lets hope they pay attention

What happened the green thing any progress on that one ? did the color hold after you stained it a second time ?

looking good paulie .

still going to keep this one ? or are you open to offers ?

OK. Did some experimenting for the colour. Got the hardware all sat into place for a mockup.

looks good in natural but !!

I took my safety glasses & coloured them in with a green candy marker (for making spot light gells) on one lense & then did the same for blue to the other lense. Look thru em & Ta Daaaa ! green guitar with one eye - blue with the other.

I rekon its the green for sure. The gold hardware just works better against it.

you colored your glasses with markers ? howd you think that up ? you got decent ventilation were you are workin

Have you settled on a color yet. What about amber ? just a slight tint to bring out the quilt. Like BC Rich do on some of their geets. I think you should definitly consider it

Maple, Sapele, Walnut & rosewood is a nice combo to mar with a vivid colored finish.

My main concern would be the weight. Ash is VERY heavy, so a thick ash neck is going to want to neck dive pretty badly.

get em to take an ash body aswell !!!

Thats cool. The back of that thing looks like a chromeboy

Was this some special black you got to achieve that finish?

WOW !!

You could use that thing to shave in th mornings

the fabric job on the front rocks.
