A picture would be great..thanks

I thought of the neck through idea as well...the only problem is that I need a mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard

Carvin only does Maple neck with Ebony fingerboards (if the info on the website is correct)

Anyone who has played the Les Pauls with the maple neck knows the tone difference between the maple & mahogany neck

Not saying that one is better than the other...just VERY differant tones!

Dave

Litchfield..can you be more specific on how to make the Warmoth neck converted to a set neck?

Remember, I don't want a bolt on neck & It must fit a Les Paul neck pocket

Thanks

Dave

What's the cost if you did it?

We just did a KILLER les paul re-top, but the guy wants to know if we can replace the neck

Does anyone know any supplier that does set-neck replacement necks?

I would even be open to creative ways to make Carvin, warmoth, etc. be converted to set necks...

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Dave

Flat head screw driver!

Rumour has it that dulop DOES carry SS frets

As the story goes, Tom Anderson & Warmoth put up the money for the machinery, tools, etc. that were needed for Dunlop to do SS frets

In turn, Dunlop promissed them exclusivity for a period of time

Or so the story goes...

Dave

For the right price...I am interested!

What would th equivilant dunlop fretsize be?

600,6100,6105????

Thanks

Dave

LGM:

Dude! Your skills are getting better & better!!!

Glad to see you back on the forum, you've been kind of "on the down low" lately

Dave

Got It...Check yours for a reply

I might be able to make you a Wolfgang template

E mail me with the pickup config, bridge, and neck you want to use & I will give you a quote

Wolfgangs are easy to do (however, I have no pix)

If I remember correctly, Wolfgangs have a carved top & Wolfgang specials do not

I am not a huge fan of the shape...I thought the EBMM Van Halen was much cooler IMO

No tease intended!

I switched to a MAC & posting pix has become a whole new experience

It will be posted soon, you have my word on it!

I just finished a Paul Reed Smith body....Do yourself a favor & go with the Les Paul!

It turned out great, but the PRS was VERY tough to do

I will post pix this week

Dave K

A few weeks ago , someone posted a "build your own cabinet" forum

I can't find it...can anyone help?

Thanks

Dave

Smokeyjoe is building me a kick ass site!

If I ever get off my butt & give him what he needs to finish it, it will be great!

Check out the "shell site"Creativemusicconcepts.com & let me know what you think

By the way....Pix of 2 KILLER bodies will be up there soon as well as an AWESOME finish option!

Dave

What is your e-mail?

You can also check my website

Creativemusicconcepts.com

The site is still in development, but I have a couple of pix there

Let me know

Thanks

Dave

Derek:

I know "you told me so" LOL!

I am working on a website with SMokey Joe

I also have some CRAZY pictures of a yellow Jackson Powdercoating job coming soon

If anyone has any other ideas on how to get the biz off the ground...I am all ears!

Thanks & Look for some new pictures coming soon

Dave

I would be the Dave that you are looking for!!!!!

I almost gave up on getting any business & came close to selling my equipment

What hardware are you looking for that is pre-Powdercoated...perhapse I can come up with something

Also...any color you want...I can do it, just send me a personal message with the details of what you want done!

POWDERCOATING ROCKS!!!!!!!

Dave K

I have a PRS style rotary switch if you want it, send me an e-mal & I will give you the details

Dave

And please...no "Les Paul-Artists" models

Wow!

How did my thread on Mcnaught Guitar finishes & the Detroit Guitar show turn into "the Ed Roman show"

My only interaction with hte guy was that he was somewhat opinionated & wanted to charge HIGH prices...but as I think about it, I am opinionated & I like making money as well

Does that make me an A**hole?

Now, can I have my thread back?

If you want the BEST quilted & flamed maple at the BEST prices anywhere

The Wood Well

They do Veneers, droptops, and carved tops & they are VERY cool

the website doesn't do them justice, trust me ...you won't be disapointed!

Dave K

Do you know where Novi is?

Where are you at?

Well, I just got off the phone with Mr. McNaught himself!

He was a SUPER cool guy!

What he told me & swears this to be true...is that he is using the same water based dyes that you get from Stu Mac or LMI

The trick is that the dyes & sands down at least 4 times for each guitar

He says that it is extremely labour intensive & he gets call all the time from other guitar companies asking the same thing.

I believe him!

He was very helpfull & told me "it all starts with a great piece of wood & a lot of patience"
