Soldering Website

Ta ... Daaaaaa, I had it bookmarked fortunately !!!!

Rob

Brian, i found/wandered across a great little Soldering site awhile back. Shall see if i can find it again :-)

Rob

p.s.

please note:My soldering is somewhat un-orthadox, In fact the end result is most impressive, Which surprises many people, As i appear to be being a cack handed spazzwit !

RG270 - Go for an Original Ibanez Edge or Lo-Pr edge trem, Yes it may need a little routing, See Project Guitar tutorial on Edge trem routing etc ...

Your answer lyes within these page's

Rob

HUmmmmm lets see I think I've scalloped about ................

Ohhhhhhhhh I'd say ..........................Hummmmmmmmm

45 different Ibanez necks and never heard a complaint about them being to weak or for that matter anything

Ask him how many he's scalloped?

Thats a whole lotta scalloping dude :-)

(back on topic)

I've done 4 12-24 fret scallops on Ibanez necks and as Brian has said, They feel slightly differant, But nothing else, No weaker imho

As for getting a Pro to do it, If your in the US i'd see LGM guitars about doing it ... If your in the UK get in touch ;-)

Rob

It should do dude, Try going into via my site and just clicking on the link to the forsale page :-)

Dudes, Take the idea's and splatter glue and paper till ya hearts content, If anyone gets stuck (groan) gimme a shout and i'll help out ...

The comic pages were very Dark, I intended to go for this look as my last one was vibrant, Althou i miss the other one this is the one i prefere. I love moody pics

I need a new body, 7 string RG, and hopefully me and syxxstring will get a deal done, Then i can do a photo tutorial, Step by step !!!

Fingers crossed guys, I know you'll love it :-)

Rob

Sweet work dude, Keep it up Can't wait to see what LGM and Clavin think of it

Rob

I'm gonna try and put a tutorial together, I had hoped to have one done for you all, But heres a quick "how i do it"

Firstly i choose my body,Then my comic, Then spend far too long sorting through to get which pages,strip i want to use ... Then the application

I use PVA glue to bond the Comic paper to BARE wood, Getting the glue off the top of the paper is important at this stage as it shows up BADLY during laquer stages ... Once i have done all the layout, and it's all glued it's left (without cutting the edges off) for approx 3 days (althou curing time is quicker, i like to leave it that long as i don't get frustrated)

Ooops, I use my fingers to spread the glue (a brush is probably fine and less messy tho)

Once i am happy i cut around the edges of the guitar to get it ready for laquer, Which is acrylic Car Laquer (it's like £1.99 a can)

Now the first 5 or 6 coats are sprayed at a distance, Possibly more than is recommended, i'd say 10 inchs approx this makes sure the laquer coats slowly so as not to cause too much bleed in the paper, Once you have a visible coat of laquer on the whole top (and edges) you can finish up as per normal and polish etc

There are a few pic on my website, where you can see the pages i used during the cutting off portion ... If anyone wants to donate a Body i'll gladly do a stage by stage picture tutorial, I'm sure Brian will have room for that

Thanks for all your kind comments and anything ANY of you want to know just reply and i'll help out !!!

Rob

Dude, If you decide to pass it on, It would go well with your old trem ;-) I'd be interested :-)

Regards

Rob

Sweet wood dude, I wish i could get my grubby mits on some like that

Jammy for god sake man, Time out

Your a class a loon, but ya know, i think we all are to some degree

Rob

Ok i know it's in the GOTM compo, but ya can't comment there, so feel free to hurl abuse my way on this thread back and sides are just matt black, nothing fancy there, Pickups are Neck(Air Classic)middle(Blue Velvet)bridge(breed) all DiMarzio, edge trem in chrome, chrome tuners (gotoh-a-likes) and black nut with cosmo clamps it's an old style neck joint, and she plays very well, I'm keeping this one as i'm regretting selling the other comicbook actually, i have tried to track it down to no avail

So now the only things on the boil are, RG7 Sweet Chesnut Custom, Patrick Eggle Custom and an RG3120 Custom, With gold hardware

Take it easy and comments are always welcome as ya know

Take it easy dudes, And hope you don't have problems with your own Projects

Rob

I'm entering the comicbook :-) Have fun, Oh and theres more pics on my site, For a little back ground info ...

Comments welcome

Rob

super sweet and an old thread it had to bump, how did you get your humbuckers chromed like that? is it a mylar tape or somethin where can i get that!?

Chrome Evo's from a Jem 10th, DiMarzio do not do them any more

The MirrorBall now resides in the US with Rikk Beattie, It's actually the hardest guitar i have had to part with

I want it BACK

Rob (damn i've not been in for a wee while)

Jer, This time you have truely outdone yourself, Thats fabulicious

Rob

Is there a neck and bridge Blaze pickup, or two bridge pickups? I'm interested in those, and the trem, if Rob doesn't want it. He needs it more than I do.

Sorry dude, Like i said i "NEED" that trem

Thanks for the quick settlement I'll get it in the post for ya asap

Me So Happy

Rob

Hi

How do you apply the pages? any special treatment etc.

Alan

No special way of doing it, No special glue, and fingers

I don't really have time to do a tutorial, But i'll start one off soon, I have some spare time coming up.

I use PVA, and my fingers, Yes it's messy, but it's the only way i've found that allows easy movement of the page's once in place, AND keeps everything in place ... If you wanna tackle it and get stuck just PM, and keep the first 3 or 4 layers of clear very VERY light or it'll go wrong very quick and you'll be oissed pff

Rob

I'll be praying for ya Bro, you could make a killing doing them. Good luck to little lady driver too ...

I lost touch with the US drag scene awhile ago, but have been watching a little bit just recently, Hopefully you'll get a Top Fuel car to do That's be something Really BIG

Keep up the great work dude

Rob

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, very nice...i was thinking, wouldn't a clear scratchplate with comics stuck on the underside fit in better with the whole thing? just an idea

also..why the strap but no neck?

I'm not a fan of clear plates, and custom would be needed as Ibanez clears have no selector switch mounting, and most are direct mount, and i don't have time, and besides you would see the glue

Neck is on a plane jetting it's way to me as we speaketh, Am waiting as patiently as possible for it to get here

I'm more happy with this than i was with the Jackson version, It's more gothic, dark and moody

Rob
