    have heard them... didn't realize they are from finland? or are you joking... they are pretty cool. anywho, steven segall is actually a decent guitar player. has a crazy collection of guitars. AND knows akido! srry for dbl post! getting old.

    if you are like me... then the issue is you hold the guitar like a classical... between the legs... for that reason lots of jacks get in my way... for a lp type guitar... I just use a 90 degree jack on the cable.
  3. mistermikev
    AFA jack... I'd go look at ibanez. Not sure it would look great to have a strat style jack on a gibson. nor would it look great to have an sg style... IMO. afa edge... that's a great suggestion from bizman, you could also consider doing an edge banding like they do on the gretsch, or possibly just doing a jack in both places. just some alternative thoughts.
  4. mistermikev
    well... that's a bummer but... if that's the worst thing that happens to you today you'll be doing "aight".
  5. mistermikev
    thought is was black limba at first. beautiful stuff. that's gonna make a fantastic guitar.
  6. mistermikev
    on that note... you know steven segall actually plays guitar... has a huge collection, and he's not half bad either. didn't realize that was that band's name... but I've listened to them before... they are awesome!
  7. mistermikev
    hehe, that's going on your greatest hits album.
  8. mistermikev
    c'mon man... btw... do any shred guitar players live in Finland? hehe

    "seriously, you call yourself a guitar player and don't know what the axe fx is?" tsk tsk
  10. mistermikev
    don't normally care for birdseye tops but I have to admit... that is going to look noice.
  11. mistermikev
    I am so flattered by your use of noice... it's very noice. note the axe fx iii in my setup - it's new: that is going to be the reason I get nothing done for the next month!
  12. mistermikev
    I actually just don't do side dots... but was referring to those lovely fret markers. they kind of look vintage like cream with a hint of orange. what material?
  13. mistermikev
    "really ties the room together" hehe
  14. mistermikev
    doh, missed the part about strings popping out. as the good advice given... you'd have to somehow lower the trem assembly... perhaps check that you have the spring in there correctly or if something is pushing it away from the body.
  15. mistermikev
    probably not a big deal... you just need to intonnate it. If you have a really accurate tuner (really should be strobe quality). my advice would be, once you have it intonnated, mark it with something temporary, and get some 3m double sided tape (the really weak stuff) and apply to prevent rocking/movement going fwd. A gibson tech did this to my es295 for me and while a purist might say it is a barrier to tone... a lot of pros with archtop bridges do this.
  16. mistermikev
    rock on and your welcome.

    I did a set neck on my sweet spot blue and it was spoke wheel - adjust thru the 19th fret. Honestly I don't see any reason a set neck would be a problem. Like anything else you just have to plan ahead in terms of how it's going to interface with the (potential) top of the guitar... but it's no dif than anything else I spose. afa gotm... cool and congrats!
  18. mistermikev
    I like your sense of humor. I'm crusing along thinking "well those dots look real nice, wonder what he used" then blammo Rick Flair to the face! I tip my hat sir!
  19. mistermikev
    wow, did not see that coming. I can't stand wearing my face shield for more than 10 mins when my garage is that hot... and sweating so much that I'm concerned about slipping. Def not ideal for me!
  20. mistermikev
    um.... my eyes are up here ADFinlayson. also, I now have TWO great racks... pics to follow soon (have to clean my room)
  21. mistermikev
    just one question... how often do you do woodworking in your sauna?
  22. mistermikev
    ooh... that's chilly! poor you. it's going to be a breezy 112 in phoenix today. I know, I'm so spoiled. In my garage, aka my sauna, it reg hits 120+. I complain but truth be told it is the perfect place to dry wood out!
  23. mistermikev
    well... yes... um... I like my TOAST just slightly toasty... perhaps a little more toasty than it was in the video... so it was on it's way to being toast for the sake of argument. my wife likes it super crispy... which is a sub category of toast known only as 'BURNT TOAST'! (I take it u r a burnt toast guy, eh?)
  24. mistermikev
    lots of options there... you could buy some clear waterslide decal stock and print on inkjet(most common printer), if you want black headstock then you'll just have to paint in some details on the decal or mask off an area of the headstock and paint it white and put a color decal with black edges over it. I/we can walk you through that when you get to it.
  25. mistermikev
    more than likely you risk sanding thru doing that... but I would. you COULD just sand up to the face of it and leave that untouched.
