EKG

takes quite a bit of sealer to get the grain filled and level

Amen to that!

I made a solid lacewood 7 string and it was nice. Worked well for the lower strings. Made it "crisper" sounding. It was heavy! It had a tight pattern to it.

Rich Harris

I understand he got the info from Joe's tech

None other than Rich Harris, of course

Visually, I like it on the ebony better, but I am a sucker for maple boards.

His frets have more radius to them towards the outside of the neck ("E" strings) and he also has shims under the middle saddles of the trem to accomodate the radius of the neck.

If you line the container with a plastic trash bag, then poke a hole in the bottom when done, shouldn't the paint stick to the bag as the water drains out?

I picked up a PAF Joe.....I thought I'd try it out.

Need one for my PGM300

Is the NAMM show in the same place every year? I don't really know anything about it except that it's a huge show where guitar companies show new models. Is there a NAMM site?

www.namm.com.

You can visit your favorite web site and if they attended NAMM, they may have pics up, too

It's been in Anaheim for the last couple of years. I think they have a 4 year deal?

Scott, stopped by "your" booth. Too bad you couldn't make it down.

OK, here is a page of pics of various things from NAMM

Pic file size are large to small, from left to right. Beware if you are a dial-up user

Do you have access to JEM plans/measurements?

They are the same.....just wider pup routes and wider neck route.

www.....there it is

I can't see the link,

But does this help?

How much do you usually pay for a guitar amount of Swamp Ash? What is a fair price? Is $55-$65 expensive? Where do you usually buy your Swamp Ash?

Joined and planed to thickness? I think that is fair.

7's just don't sell enough to justify a production model.

And ultimately it's up to Joe

Swamp Ash is lighter, more porous than Ash. From the same tree, but the Swamp Ash is from the base of the tree...hence the term...Swamp Ash. I use both and regular Ash can get heavy. The swamp portion of the tree is limited making it less available, making it more expensive, and personally find it worth the $$

Not me....straight from me mind to the screen

I like to use Mechanical Desktop and Inventor

buzzsaw-international on e-Bay usually has a few up.

Nice guy too.

Buzzsaw

No way! I go thru the same guy

That's Guns, Girls and Guitars (or something like that). It isn't chrome. It's nickel plating. There has been discussions on "other" forums about this if you wanna check it out.

What can I say that hasn't already been said?

Stunning!

I love blue stain...and that top is crazy!
