Perry this guitar looks amazing! I really love the colour and the entire design. Just awesome work! Cheers! Chris

Man that's looking great! the neck tenon looks like it will be nice and long! Also cool choice for fretboard wood! it will look awesome! Good work! C

I will email them to find out if they can get the thicker binding, it looks like they sell a thicker type so maybe they can order it? thanks guys! C

Hey guys I did a search here and on the web and have not been able to come up with any sites selling Red ABS or plastic binding. I've seen the various dyed wood bindings available through LMII but was wondering if anyone had any info on where to get some? There have been a number of Jackson, Gibson and Washburn guitars with red binding through the years, Gibson actually produced a les paul very recently with this binding. Is it feasible to dye abs? I know that sounds silly, but I really just would love to get some red binding haha thanks guys! Cheers! C

They used the Bill Lawrence L-500XL as well as the Dimebucker, but even inside that there was another rip off Bill Lawrence pickup that Stew-Mac supplied to washburn which was not the original there is actually 3 different Bill Lawrence L-500XL pickups and it's bloody confusing! Anyhow, When I came here I had only the best intentions, I never assumed it would escelate to the point of being attacked, as you said "we just deal with guitars" well that's all I wanted to deal with, instead I got hostility from the majority of posters in this thread, perhaps I should be a bigger man, but Alas I am not, I'm just honest I suppose and I don't believe in biting my tounge oh well, live and learn I suppose, I thought my last reply was rather good! Anyhow, thanks for all the encouragement about the neck. The guitar was supposedly constructed with "honduran" mahogany in the first place, and I looked at various types available at my local wood hut, so I ended up buying a chunk of "honduran" mahogany and off we went! The neck itself is actually 3 pieces with the center chunck going the opposite way, all quatersawn, the headstock plate is flatsawn, it all has a really nice figure in it, and the ribbon look you mentioned is pretty stunning when it's in your hands! Anyhow the next build will be 100% my own! Thanks guys! Chris

Awesome inlay! I really admire the amount fo work that goes into that, it's just mind boggeling! Thanks for showing us the completed work! Chris

Oh yeah These might not be YOUR thing, but here is a family shot! I love these guitars! RIP DIME I hope I'm not rubbing anything into anyones face!!!!! Thanks guys! Cheers! Chris

He have already been warned and he just appologized on the above post! Your comments have been saved in the MOD's section!

Looks more like the peanut gallery are just warming up... Oh and by the way, what the **** is a haXor? Chris

Setch Thanks! I'm no ace with this picture adding business! at least I tried! not like the last few times haha! Anyhow, with the nut, that is just a temporary shim, I wanted to test and made sure everything was level and the frets didn't need any more attention, so that's all it is! the nut in the picture is perfect for the guitar, it's just chrome! not black, hence why I am waiting on a black one. Anyhow, this thing is right as rian! neck is REALLY thick now, so It's working great! Chris

Well here it is! It's almost done now, just another buff, and a final assembly and setup, and it's ready to kick some ass! waiting on the neck pickup and the black locking nut, it's always something!!! Back of neck Here is a closeup of the inlays I had done at www.custominlay.com I think this looks really good with this finish! inlay Here is another shot of the inlay and front of body. Inlay and Body I really screwed the picture loading tool up, can someone fix these? Thansks! So I'll post more pictures of this when it's done! So far this thing is amazing! let me do a recap -Bought broken guitar on ebay -Decided to put new neck and fretboard on existing guitar -Took to local luthier who decided he would teach me how to do this. -Posted on local repair forum =o) -Posts ensued about how rubbish the idea was and how it would end up being firewood -Worked on neck + guitar every monday for the past few months -End results. So all in all this guitar is one of the best washburn Dimes I own, and I have 4 others, plus 4 more on the way! Thanks guys! I'll post up some finished pics in a week or so when the pickup gets here! Chris You should try to use proper naming conventions when saving files - specifically *no spaces!* The gaps in the title confused the forum software which tried to autoconvert them into link tags, but instead just royally screwed the pooch. This won't happen if you use _underscores_ instead of spaces.

Hey guys I'm looking to find a place that does anodizing or textured finishes on aluminum, especially in canada, I'm looking for black and green anodizing or powder coating, or textured coatings on aluminum. I have some plates that I need to try and match up, let me know Chris

Hey guys Sorry for the lack of posts, still wiating on the last few coats to cure, christmas and new years slowed everything WAY down, but it should be done and ready for the frets to be crowned and the hardware to be installed, then strung up and PLAYYYYYYYYYYYYED! I can't wait Chris

Hello That's pretty cool, I really love how clean and neat everything looks, your quite the builder! I can;t wait to show you all my finished works! Chris

Hello do you have any examples available to show me? thanks! Chris
