  1. That's what I am talking about... Although that one is WAY more expensive that several others I have seen! Any experience with one of these? Dave
  2. A buddy of mine who builds antique furniture was telling me about a device called a "Duplicarver Machine" From what I understand this is a also known as a Pantograph Router This a very low tech but effective concept. Apparently you can accurately duplicate any 3D object I guess the way it works is that you guide a stylus over your original master and it removes the excess stock from your duplicate So, in theory, you could make exact copies of any type of Guitar body, neck, headstock, etc Has anyone heard of this or used it? I would be interested in hearing about your experiences Thanks Dave
  3. This one is going to be the one I can afford to screw up I am going to get you the stuff that I need PRO work done on!

  5. Just thought I would share.. I just SCORED a RG 550 for $75 bucks at a small hole in the wall music store This is now my "PROJECT GUITAR" It included the case & has BRAND NEW SEYMOUR DUNCAN PICKUPS (a Blues Sareceno Trembucker!) Lesson learned...Check your local music stores for deals!!!!
  6. I have been hearing quite a bit regarding the use of lasers for inlay techniques From what I understand, it is relatively easy & posibilities are limitless So much so that you can scan a image & have an exact copy done It sounds too good to be true Can anyone shed some light on this subject? Dave
  7. Although Eddie V.H. is the king (even though he has been M.I.A for to long), I am really getting into Butch Walker (former Marvelous 3) as well as Ronnie Le Tekro (TNT)

  10. O.K...... I may be getting in over my head, but I wanted to get your feedback A pal of mine is a cabinet maker that just ordered a 20 inch planer I have access to a KILLER flame bookmatched maple set He has an old "beat to hell" les Paul (not so old that it is vintage, It's an 85) I am thinking if I planed down the top of the les paul, I could add the flame maple top & carve the top to make one AWESOME looking Les Paul The only problem is...how do I remove the "set neck"? Anyone have any ideas or tips? Dave

It was standard equipment for the Lynch, Demartini, & other 80's Shred guys! Dave K
