Keep the experiments coming, if you don't mind Mick.

And don't leave me hanging without posting the final results.

(Smiley's temporarily out of stock)

I still believe the two guitar 'duel' in a band is a sport.

You exercise your fingers, and your mind.

And let's not talk about the teamwork and occasional oneupmanship.

So, yes . I play sport.

all those string trees, and obviously you can't hang a guitar with a headstock like that (I have young kids, my guitars have to be hung).

This may do the job instead.

Gangsters in the city of churches? No, please........ not Adelaide

The bible can be used as a deadly weapon when thrown from twenty paces.

G to the O to the D

I assume that taper relates to the action the pot does.

For example, the tapered effect from minimum to maximum output.

Just a guess, really.

Try this thread here.

Also as a footnote to supernova, I assume you will have leftover veneer.

Use that as a test piece first , so you know exactly how it will look.

It's also good practice for the real deal .

If you don't get back at least what you outlaid to begin with,

I'm tipping the doghouse will be home for quite a while.

Good luck, and remember this could save a life. Yours.

If you look close enough, and enlarge the photo like I had to, you can see

what is either the outline of fret tang or a slot that has been filled. (second fret)

And yes , I did squint.

Ta setch , and may the seed of your loin be fruitful in the belly of your woman !!!?

Yes the red cordial is GOOOOOD !!

My apologies. Too much red cordial tonight.

Everyone I know would just say sweet or cool or hot

Mate, whatever happened to 'it's the shizzle'?

I was on the vigier website earlier and noticed a zero fretted nut on a guitar.

What are the positives and the negatives for this setup?

I've got to say I am more than intrigued.

It's not often that you get to see crabs and bananas dance in unison.

Nevertheless it is a beautiful thing.

I guess a fair amount got lost in translation on the way down to the good ol' A. U. of S

I always knew it as "S*#t my pants and call me stinky"

Love that scarf.

+1

It's without a doubt a real test of patience, and skill to boot !!

beautiful...beautiful...beautiful

Just one more thing.

Let the coats of clear dry off thoroughly before attacking it.

The golden rule is, the thicker the paint the longer you should leave it for all the solvents to dissipate.

Progress pics. are a definite must !!

Worst case scenario; there may be nothing straight off the shelves in that tint .

Start with a yellow base and tint in varying amounts of blue 'til you're happy with it.

If you go for a name change, do you lose your post history too ?

Going from 2000 odd posts to newbie in one click of the keys.

That would bite the big one !!!

This'll be a killer tute thread.

All I can say is , the more pics the better.

Photos work for us high school delinquents such as yours truly.

And as they say , 'A PICTURE TELLS A THOUSAND WHATCHAMACALLITS'

Since when did Van Halen join the army ?

That's looking good.

In the interest of promoting healthy debate/conversation,

when does a Telecaster cease being a Tele ?

As soon as you mod it ? (eg. change bridge or route out for hummies?)

I probably identify more with the shape as being a tele than the hardware.

But then again I'm a lefty in Oz, never played one and Lefty tele's are rare down yonder.

I heard that too.

I've heard the factory in Korea build bodies and necks for a heap of companies,

ship 'em to the states, then finish them off there.

That's just good business I guess

A good quality, sharp chisel is an absolute joy to use. And with the right tools, and touchups AS SOON AS the chisel goes the slightest bit dull, they're not hard to keep in that condition.

I use all types of powered toys during the day, but I've gotta say the chisels get the most work.

And the sharper the chisel, the SAFER it is to use too.

I always keep a fine grade handled diamond file in my nail bag , just so I can touch up the edges

before they become too blunt to cut a clean easy edge.
