    yes it would! Go for it my friend! Would love to see a guitar body with an authentic web on it, sooooo much nicer than a drawing or painting. Please be nice to spiders, and be safe, they bite:) I like to relocate them before i use any paint as they are sensitive to fumes. A jar works good, but you'll want a stick to get them off the web. I'd have to go back to Louisiana during the summer. All the big ones come out then.

    That would look really cool on a guitar. Sweet.

    I don't care. I love your build threads. Make 'em as long as you want.

    Looking good for first build. Since you're putting a veneer on the top couldn't you just fill in the hole with a piece of dowel rod? That to me would be a better option than wood filler.

    It's not an assumed risk if you continually hire idiots like that to load & unload materials (it's pretty much guaranteed). I would've been barking up the company tree until something happened. If no one says anything about it, those morons won't learn and someone could get hurt next time.

    http://www.g-gotoh.com/international/?btp_product_category=side-adjuster Looks like it fits around the existing truss rod according to the diagram, but I could be wrong.

    I'd save your money and get a regular truss rod. I have 2 Warmoth guitars I've built and they have it and I don't like it. Everything's based off the main truss rod adjustment, it makes very minute adjustments (you have to really crank it to notice anything), and all string tension has to be off the neck to adjust it so it seems pointless. For the time spent making one adjustment I could've had the neck off, tweaked and back on and tuned to pitch or much quicker with a headstock adjustment truss rod. http://www.warmoth.com/Guitar/Necks/SideAdjust.aspx

    Nice build. How's that EM6000 odor wise? Is it as bad as nitro? Working on gatering materials for build #1 at the moment and haven't thought about finishing. I've refinished a couple of guitars with nitro and would like a more user-friendly option and this looks promising.

    How long ago did you purchase this kit? I don't see it offered anymore on the website.

    Sweet. Actually saw George Lynch today at the Dallas Guitar Show. He played pretty good this time, but he still needs to learn how to tune a guitar, and quietly. ;D Did you use the specs off the Floyd Rose site for the templates? I have a Mighty Mite Strat I've been wanting to install a recessed Floyd on, but didn't feel like spending the money for the Stew Mac templates either.

    +1! Ditto

    Tele with a Floyd. Love it!

    +1. Excellent first build. I like the wood choices. How did that glue line on the lower half end up? Is it still noticeable?
  15. plinky
    Very cool. One question though. I know that Kahler tremolos don't need a huge route like the Floyd Rose, but that top is strong enough to hold the bridge? I would think that over time string tension would start to pull it free from the wood. Just asking.
  16. plinky
    Very clean. I like it.

    Found this site through a Google search: http://www.guitarprinting.com/index.html Either choose from their designs or have them make your own. Couldn't find this already posted on the forum.

    Absolutely love these builds. I can only hope my first build (if it ever happens) will look remotely close in fit and finish. Do you do any floating tremolo setups? Just curious.
  19. plinky
    Thank you. Awesome work there Wademeister. Those basses are stellar.
  20. plinky
    Nice work. Love the resin pickguard & trussrod cover. ;D

    That top wood is simply gorgeous. Car's not bad either. '65 Galaxie? When I was a kid, I coulda had a '67 ragtop for about $1600, but my dad wouldn't let me.

    http://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools/paint/hvlp-turbine-spray-system-66297.html $84 at HF right now. Might just give this a try. Thanks for the tip. The weather isn't much better right now down here in Dallas. One day 70 deg., the next 10.

    Tried ReRanch & wasn't happy with it (overpriced & he charges full shipping when I'm 3 miles from his house). Had good results with the Stew-Mac lacquers. Just wanting to try a urethane finish this time, but I can't afford an HVLP system at the moment, nor do I have a place to set up such a rig.
  24. plinky
    A little on the expensive side, but curious if anyone has tried it on anything? I can't really afford any HVLP equipment, so this sounds promising. Just wish the price was a bit more reasonable. http://www.touchupspraypaint.com/rm_aeromax_urethane_clearcoat_118_oz.php

    How do you like that plunge router rig for the Dremel? Thinking about buying one, just looking for some feedback on it.
