maybe next week someday I can come by after work and check it out....and check out your wood bender.

Mike, That guitar is looking amazing. I am really impressed with it. I'm glad it is all working out this time around.

I am currently working on a les paul project and I have ran into an issue that I need help with. I am using a les paul body and a les paul neck from different projects and the body has cream binding and the neck has white binding. What can I use to tint the white binding to be more of a match with the cream binding?

maybe I can make it over there sometime this coming weekend.

mike that bender looks fantastic. I need to come over and have you demonstrate it for me.

no guard will be added. sorry...i don't care ofr LP's with guards.

I am currently building a goldtop les paul and I can't decide if I should go with solid creme pups or zebra pups. I used photoshop to drop these onto a picture of a goldtop guitar. Which do you think looks better?

yeah it is a GFS power rail pickup. The guitar is a scratch build I did awhile back. There was a couple of threads of the build I'm sure you could search for them. The cabinet doesn't have wheels on it...orange cabinets have wooden sleds on the bottom.

Ok this isn't an actual guitar BUT it is guitar related. I finished up on my Orange 2x12 clone. The cab is pretty close to the orange 2x12 cab. Equipped with 2- v30's. I also built an enclosure for my TT. I put a vent for the top to let heat out and there is 3/4" open space completely around the TT inside the enclosure to help prevent heat build up. I still need to make the logo for the cabinet but other than that it is done. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret...ng/P1010423.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret...ng/P1010424.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret...ng/P1010426.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret...ng/P1010427.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret...ampbuild001.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret...ampbuild002.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret...ampbuild003.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret...ampbuild004.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret...ampbuild005.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret...ampbuild006.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret...ampbuild008.jpg

I have a few boss pedals for sale. 1- PH-2 super phaser: black label made in japan. works flawlessly, a couple small nicks in the paint. $50 2- MT-2 Metal zone: silver label made in Taiwan. works perfect, no nicks or scratches. $40 3- DF-2 super feedbacker & distortion: black label made in japan. works perfectly. has some road wear from being used alot. I have seen these things going for $100-125 on eBay. I'm looking to get $80 for this one due to its cosmetic blemishes.

man that sucks mike. It was looking so great when I was over there. Sorry to hear about this.

I have a couple pedals for sale and some bass pickups. all items plus shipping Snarling dogs blues bawl wah $70 Ibanez Thrashmetal pedal $10 A set of P-bass pickups...white. $25

I am trying to decide what I want to do for my next scratch build. I can't decide between doing a jaguar bass that has a mix of a tele, jaguar, jazz bass, and P-bass all in it. I was thinking lake placid blue with mint guard. here is what it would look like OR I was considering doing a telecaster deluxe/thinline. white w/ mint guard. Black binding. It would look good sitting beside two of my other guitars.

This guitar is called the "Hyper-Sonic". It is a 24" shortscale guitar. Specs- Body - Alder Neck - Amber Tinted Maple Inlays - Aluminum tubes with abalone inserts Side markers - Aluminum tubes with white dot inserts Color - White w/ mint pickguard Bridge - Recessed TOM with string thru. Pickups - GFS power rails in bridge position, GFS fat PAF in neck Electronics - 3 position toggle, volume, tone. Tuning machines - Vintage kluson style Headstock decal - custom "wemmert" logo here is the link to the 6 month long build. build link

the sound holes flow nice with the wood markings.

mike it all is looking great. That jig looks ace as well. I need to come take a look at this thing in person.

any updates on the build mike? I finally finished mine. Now I'm already thinking about my next build.

thanks for the compliments guys. I am already thinking about my next build...this is an addicting hobby,

ok the hyper-sonic is done! finally! here are some pics. it sounds great, but needs a little more tweaking on the frets. There are a couple that need a little more levelling. but I am really happy with how it all came out for my very first scratch build. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret.../Picture002.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret.../Picture004.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret.../Picture005.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret.../Picture006.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret...icture012-1.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret...icture013-1.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret.../Picture017.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret.../Picture018.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret...icture019-1.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret.../Picture021.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret.../Picture023.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret.../Picture024.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret.../Picture025.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret.../Picture028.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret.../Picture003.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret...icture014-1.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret...icture015-1.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret.../Picture016.jpg

made it using the info in the tutorial section of the site.

Well I am trying to sell off a few things to save up for an TT or a rocker 30 not sure yet. but anyways....up for sale is a vintage rickenbacker amp. It is the Rickenbacker TR-25. It is a 40 watt solid state amp with a single 12" speaker. It has on board tremolo that actually sounds really well. The distortion is pretty lame tho. The reverb sounds great as well. There is a jack for an external footswitch to control the tremolo and reverb, but I do not have the switch. I'm sure you can find one somewhere that will work. If I can get my camera working I will take some sample video's of it if anyone is interested in the amp. I'm looking to get $200 plus shipping. I assume this is a reasonable price since I have seen prices ranging from $150-$250 on these things. pics.

up for sale is a GFS Lil' killer pickup. Barely used. was in my squier before I took it out to rebuild that guitar. This is the 10K version. It is actually a really hot pickup. I put the other one in the bridge position on my strat and it sounds great! great cleans and can really put out some nice crunch tones. Comes with original box, screws, and springs. $20 + shipping.

Well this is a little quick project I have been working on. It started out as a squier 1 bulllet and I decided it needed a facelift. I filled in the single coil spots and threw in a EMG 81. I put a mint pickguard on it something similar to a les paul jr. I call it the Lame-o-caster, in honor of its '80's state it was in before the facelift. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret.../Picture012.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret.../Picture013.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret.../Picture014.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret.../Picture015.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret.../Picture019.jpg here is what it started out as. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/stret.../Picture002.jpg

quick mockup after cutting the pickguard today....
