Amazing work Craig, just an amazing talent you have.

One of the guys at my frat has an awesome Japanese Contemporary Strat with the non-rear router, locking fender trem (i mention it to see if anyone has info on the trem, cause it rocks). Anyway, the guitar is all black and has those glow in the dark stars kids put on their ceilings over the fret marker dots, they make em in circles too. its cheesy, but i'm not a fan of light-up guitars to begin with. my 2 cents.

This is the Trem thats made by Kahler correct? It has an amazing setup underneath the pickguard and the trem can actually be locked by turning the arm. Is this the same?

Dave->

Agreed, very helpful and just a nice guy......

Dave->

Very nice looking site Brian!!

Dave->

Very nice job, looks "deep". Good luck with the maiden voyage!!

Dave->

Do you mean the Pro 6 string trem? That is a 10-32 thread but I just heard that it is possible that the 10-32 is too small for some of the Bass trems. Thanks for your help,

Dave->

Hey there, I'm trying to find out what thread size is in the Kahler Bass tremolos for the trem bar. I'm thinking it's a 1/4-20 coarse thread. Anybody know? Does anybody have one?

Thanks so much,

Dave->

is that a 5-bolt neck? (top right pic)

That's actually a neck tilting set screw. It allows the user to "dial in" the neck angle.

As far as the little lady in the pic, it looks like a blow up doll doesn't it?

Hello, my name is Dave and I'm an alcoho............Oh wait wrong forum

Seriously, I'm a Tool & Die maker for 18 years and have been a hobbiest(or is that half-assed) woodworker on and off for about 10 years. I'm married for 14 years and live just outside Hershey Pa. My knees are fine(so far) and I also suck at playing but I love building, buying, and selling guitars ever since I was about 10.

Good to meet you all!

Dave->

@ daveq.......

It is mostly due to tightening too hard on the mounting screws as RAI6 has said. The same goes for the cracks that you find on the edge of the headstock to the tuner holes because some people just tighten those WAAAAAAAYY too tight. There is no need for that. Just snug them up.

Dave->

Hey thanks bro, I'm adding the "heavy" Kahler trem bars too now. I appreciate the kind words!

Dave->

Hey Derek, that's a cool site bro! Mine's nothing like yours but here's some things I make for the Jackson Charvel fans.

Frets On The Net

Good luck, I may need something from you in the future.

Dave->

I couldn't agree more with rhoads56. For beginners, you just have better control with hand tools as if an accident happens(and it probably will at one time or another) it's usually not as fatal. Just start slow and don't try to rush things or take shortcuts because that's when you end up scrapping stuff.

Good luck!

Dave->

I kinda like the knot. Gives it some "figure".

Dave->

I'm in Red Deer, Alberta, Stewmac takes anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks typically, canada customs has been a bitch lately, not stew macs fault, complain about customs, useless bunch of twits that they are.

yea lgm, lets move to the US!

Then we can have our own emoticon!!!!

You Canadians kill me You're all welcome in the US anytime!

Dave->

I'm in Pa. and I get mine in 3 days max. either by UPS or the Postal Service(depending what I buy).

Oh, and welcome Levendis!!

Dave->

I actually use epoxy with no problems at all. I'm guessing maybe he used CA glue because possibly he endorses it? Just a thought,

Dave->

Just throw some clear cote on there! If it's good enough for Ibanez, it's good enough for you

I wonder if what's his face(the creator of that guitar, I can't remember his name lol) got that idea from an old decorating trick. My mom used to take masking tape in little 1/2" pieces and apply it to abstractly shaped wine bottles. After it was all taped up, she applied wood stain all over it and then wiped it off. It actually look pretty interesting(but ugly I thought) and everytime I see that Ibanez I have to think of that and laugh. Has anyone else seen this process?

Dave->

Hey thanks for the kind words!

Good eye Derek! I hadn't cut the slot for the low e in the brass nut yet and the sun was going down lol! Can't slip anything past you guys huh? Ok, it's ALMOST done

Thanks again,

Dave->

Well, how fitting that I finish my "Reaper" guitar on this day! She's clearcoated and buffed and ready to kill (now if only I could play the damned thing ). I've always wanted a pencil/charcoal sketch, but I wanted to do it myself and here she is in all her splendor

Happy Halloween!!! :toast:

Dave->

Well, you know what they say "Big Feet............................
