I cut one big hole and filled it with a couple pieces of poplar one in the top and one in the bottom there was a small void in between that I filled with some epoxy wood repair and sanded it all down flush. What year is that Iceman? It looks like mine did before the fire.

I have that same JEM with the same crack, its just the finish that is cracked.

I just called Carvin and they said theirs are 10" and they modify them, and they have topmount.

Found it at stew mac the R2 is a 14" radius 1 5/8" locking nut

I was just looking at the floyd rose site and most of them were 10 and a 15 and a 17 but no 14, that is strange.

Is this it? *edit link times out here is what I was looking at on that rs components site "RFI/EMI shielding aerosol"

Ovation Composite Bowl Repair

Just keep it because you will have to pay shipping and you already paid shipping to get it, so is it worth it for double shipping to get nothing? Thats the risk of ebay. -

That is dry sanded up to 400 grit, I wiped the dust off with some mineral spirits but that dries quickly so its dry in that pic.. After unclamping this morning frets 12,13 and 14 had lifted a little on one end, I think I used too much epoxy the rest were fine so pulled those 3 out and bent some new frets and used CA and hammered them in and they are better now. Now I just gotta clean up the epoxy that I should have wiped off first. I wiped off the first half but I guess I forgot on the second half, oh well lesson learned just gonna take a little more time for clean up. The frets are level so I just need to clean up and polish them.

Well I have design I am going to paint on it that is going to go with the star inlays, the design looks pretty cool but I cant decide if I should show it now or wait till after I paint it. I am really learning alot and am really looking forward to starting a build after this is done. These forums have really helped me in getting this far.

Fretting is almost done it is all clamped up and tomorrow I will finish the frets.

I read melvyns book everynight before I go to sleep, touching up on the next step I will be doing. I also search these forums for all the help I can find that has already been posted. -
Ouch!!!

I got the fretboard glued on, bound, scraped and sanded partially, still needs a little more sanding. down the neck When you look straight down the neck it looks like glass, check out the reflection in the rosewood, that is sanded up to 400 shiny another shot A little more sanding and then on to fretting this thing
-
And its cheaper.

I used this one and all the dremel accessories fit it.
-
Yeah when I first saw that thing my thoughts were whats the point if you have to find the guitar first to scan it, if I found it I would just kick the guys ass that stloe it and take it back

Leave it up and sand it down flush.
