hey duketroy, the only thing disgusting here is that you were born out of *****. I am trying to stop this guy from wasting his money, just because you are used to throwing it away on hookers duketroy u **** . I agree with the idea about the maple, veneer is after all very fragile, and unless you have a uniformly flat top (you dont) then it will probably splinter. On the other hand you may not be able to get the style of top u want, plus maple is harder to dye so a finish such as the one your after is by no means guaranteed.Why dont you stick some tyre tread to the scratchplate, then it will look as cool as before. Plus duketroy im not young enough for you to go to jail for, so ur probably not interested I think i just figured out who this is.... .... it was nice and quiet without you and your multiple personalties around here for a couple of months....why don't you just go away again. Maybe go get that cup of coffee excuse and use it again

Sorry, I only signed up to this forum because i realised how much of a train wreck your project in particular was. Oh yeah i forgot you were doing the bodge job with veneer, another reason why the only thing your new guitar will have in common with that 3280 is that it was assembled by a poor chinese guy. What are you gonna do, stick a slab of veneer over the body and hope it holds with a can of no more nails? i wonder if the veneer will add any sound quality...or existance...seeing as now u have ejected paint stripper all over it you have what sounds like plugging a jack into an ikea wardrobe. If you dont want to buy a new body just throw that one in the bin, at least then you wont lose any more money/respect.

Wow we have another nutjob! The number of times I have seen people on this site blindly shelling out £1/200 for an old guitar then trying to make it in some way redeemable is incredible. Asides from the fact you have ignored all the potential problems above, you doused that guitar in PAINT STRIPPER. Taking it that you didn't know this, paint stripper actually has a tendancy to draw any moisture out of the wood, not only creating a significant loss of tonal range, but also possibly causing the wood to shrink! I wonder how much thought was put into that... based on everything else im guesing none..... Also ur idea about active/passive p/us is possible, but bearing in mind you will have to fit a new slot between your humbuckers, consider where the battery pack will go, and then the little problem of inevitably touchign wires (cos its so small) possibly shorting and causing interference with one another. And the cost of that top u wanna put on is gonna be astronomical..... My idea: get ur hundred wuid back from that thng u have now if its sellable still and save up for a real one Could just make it all out of MDF (might as well do p/us at same time, will sound the same ) Oh and did you ever think of how u are gonna re-set that bridge on top of a new layer of maple? lmao, love to see u try and set the innotation on that
