"It takes different strokes to rule the world!" I think Gary Coleman wrote this catchy tune on a Fender Squier. (I know ,that was bad )

Looks great.Good Job -
This is a very good point. Using the word "gay" as an adjective for something that is crap, bad, undesireable, etc, is in very bad taste. I am not gay myself, but I find this usage very offensive. Get over it! He`s making a joke about a guitar(guitar forum ),you`re making a reply about political correctness. Everyone can`t think the same.Why are people so easily offended?

Yeah! "I`ve patented perfect intonation."

Yeah,I won`t tell him about the guitar I made out of I-beam to play heavy metal

After seeing that Yamaha I just grabbed a chisel and hammered my frets.Bent the snot out of `em,but it sounds great!

What wood produces a mellow jazz box sound?
goat replied to Snork's topic in Acoustic and Hollowbody Guitar Chat
I started an archtop two years ago!It was my first guitar too.I spent a ton of time just making the molds to hold the sides for a 17" guitar and an 18" . I also made a bender out of 4" stainless pipe.I egg shaped it,welded a top on it and put a 300 watt light bulb in it.I carved the maple backplate by hand,and that`s where I stopped! LOL I still got a hotbox loaded with AAA flame bookmatched and killer solid spruce.Enough for three guitars. I need to get back to that.I`ll try to post some pics of that fiasco.It`s all good,it just took sooooo long tooling up and making stuff for it,I went on to painting pictures . -

I have a question . I am painting my guitar and I need to tape over the inlay before painting. Is there a clear tape you can paint over,because I can`t see the inlay through the tape to trim the masking tape around my logo?(does this make sense?)
-
That is beautiful work!
-
That really looks great! How does it play/sound?

For anyone who wants to calculate the sizes of the shims from feeler guages... I checked the Dr. Math forum particularly the section for circle for any helpful formulas. This diagram seems to apply to this situation: with the formula: d = sqrt(4r^2-c^2)/2 being the most salient. Calculate your values for d (the shims) with r being either your starting or ending radius and c being the distances between 3rd/4th, 2nd/5th and 1st/6th strings. It'd probably be easy enough to "trial and error" the correct feeler guage sizes but for those who want some mathematical rigor, the above should be a good starting point. L.S.D. Now I know I was meant to work with my hands! Thank God I`m an artist

For over $100 for that,I wouldn`t.Just dots for fret markers on a Les Paul don`t look right but that`s just my opinion.If times an issue and you`re looking for a paul,you can get a finished Paul Turser or Epi. more time/cost effective than all the work for that thing,otherwise ,build a beautiful neck.Alot more satisfaction. A small flatsawn piece of wood will make a nice laminate neck,18$ fretboard $6 in frets,.done! (a little more than that,but.....)
