  1. I have a few kits that I bought. Anyone is welcome to them for what I paid for them. (range of $110 - 200) www.diablo-guitars.blogspot.com
  2. Devin, Are you using the plans I sent you? I'll try to make a better drawing showing the neck tenon. I'll have to make some assumptions about the dimensions & such. Thanks jrjr
  3. I've got the Alsa Mirrachrome Killer Can kit. Haven't tried it out yet though. But there is another way to get a chrome finish: Formica Laminate - Mirror Aluminum http://www.formica.com/publish/site/na/us/....2021.0001.html I got a 4'x8' sheet (they wouldnt sell it to me in smaller sheets) for about $165. That turns out to be $6-7 a square foot. Its very thin (.040") & bendable. It can be easily cut with a scroll saw & router. I scored & cut out smaller sized sheets out with a carpet knife. An adhesive is used to adhere it. If the guitar top is carved, then it might be very difficult to get the laminate to form over it. If it is flat (i.e. a Strat style body) then it shouldn't be a problem. How to integrate the edges of the laminate into the rest of the body, is another problem to overcome. One could use binding or just leave it as is. The good thing about laminate is that has a wear resistance (its used for counter tops).
  4. Have you found any Firebird Plans? I have made some in dwg format. Let me know. I have alot more guitar models as well. I wonder if I donated them to the forum, would that get me a membership.
