    Good thinking Jeff, this makes so much sense. Only thing i dont like is it might seem the same as MIMF's "READ THIS BEFORE YOU POST OR PREPARE TO DIE" thing. but hey, we need something to stop proplr posting again and again about the same damn thing.

    OKay, so im planning to start my first few guitars (not just one, but 3, Krazy inspired me to build more than one at once! its his fault) Anyway, i decided i wanted a really big roundover on the edges, so, i drew up this diagram to see if such a router bit like it existed: Any one? Cheers Matt

    try local hobby or model sotres and ask for plastic rod, basicly the same stuff, and it goes upto about 1/4". It is normally acrylic, and is pretty cheap compared to stew mac, but only comes in black or white, no ablone or pearl. Matt

    With 27 individual pieces of sterling silver in my "Vine" guitar, and extensive gigging and general playing, not a single pieces has even come loose, let along fallen out, so why do you say glue wont hold it?? I believe skibum does a jewelery makjing course at school/college or something. Its probably something he was taught there. I think it means you cant just glue 2 pieces of sterling together independently, but as your vine has an ebony finger board surrounding the silver, it is glued into the ebony, rather than glue together. Like i say, i *think* thats what hes getting at! Matt

    I think its a 15 watter, but he read the back where it probably says tghat the power consumption is something like 42 watts. Just a guess...

    Wow. I have to admit i havent posted in this thread, cos i havent looked for a while, cos of all the Bashing of Jeff's earlier work, and also if you aint got nothin nice to say etc. But the first time i check back, i see that body and omg, that is one of the nicest looking tele's i have seen in a while! Great to see your taking advice, and its obviously made an inprovement on your work. Matt

    You've glued the bookmatch face down to the body wood. Should be facing upwards so you can see it. Oh well, now you know better for next time. Hmmm, true, but hey, it still looks damn good!
