How about this john? I changed your design up a bit.

Yep, what neil said, they are trademarked. Your best bet might be to buy some pearl, a jewelers saw and blades and cut out your own.

I don't know why you felt the need to swear in response to someone and it took me all of five minute or so to find this, but this should help ya....... http://www.rickresource.com/forum/viewtopi...44&t=380078 look at the first pick, that looks like what you showed us...

another thing is do you let all the air out first? cause I just turn it off and open it full of air (not a good idea of the valve part comes out, cause it could shoot across the room), that helps blow all the water out of it.

Nope, I wouldn't put ANYTHING in that tank, whatever you put in could and probably will come back out through your airlines and if you're painting from the compressor an little bit of oil or water could ruin a paint job. As long as you keep draining it and gettin' all the water out you should be fine for a long while. Eventually it might rust through and you'd have to get a new compressor, but I doubt it would soon.

As far as legality goes, I believe it's only illegal if you got the ivory off an elephant after it was banned. As long as it's recycled from something else it should be fine

Good stuff to know. Thanks for the question, I've been wonderin' myself, though I certainly won't be getting one for a while.

Have you thought about grain filling with black epoxy and then doin' a green stain? that should accentuate the grain better. Just a though.

I think the right one is the deepest darkest color and I love vibrant colors, so I'm with everyone else that the right is the best, my favorite anyway

Adding even more to what they said, would there be any problems with it covering larger inlays on the fretboard? Specifically reconstituted stone.

I'm 20 and it's probably around my shoulder blades, a little longer than that I think actually...

Well, we all would agree, I'm sure, that it's fun to experiment, but I gotta agree with wes and you all that given all the cons, it just sounds like a poor idea when you can achieve what he wants with carbon fiber rods.

Dude, I think some aliens got at your guitar, there are crop circles in it Lookin' good, I like the little back cutaway thing.

I just thought I'd check back in and say that I recieved the books and router base today. Thanks man

Good stuff to know Wes. I was wondering if Perry had actually trademarked it or not.

Ok, so I think the shape is kinda ugly... I love the sides and everything with the binding and that though, looks pretty cool.

Hmm, I've never seen those little hvlp compressor units before, looks interesting, curious to see if anyone has experience with those. Like ripthorn said, the CFM is the key. Smaller compressors typically have less CFM. A lot of the guns I've seen have somewhere around 6 or more, usually more, CFM, I mean take that much CFM to work properly, that's what you gotta look at, find a gun that doesn't use as many CFM's and a compressor that put's out more than the gun is supposed to use, always good to make sure you're not gonna have any problems. Also, like ripthorn said, stay away from harbor freight if you're lookin' for decent tools. I know people that use their spray guns and like them, but most of them just throw them away after the job. Also, I would recommend lookin' to make sure you can rebuild the gun, or have someone do it for you, if you plan on using it for a long. Something is bound to happen after a while.

Oh man, I would LOVE to get that bandsaw. Oh well, good luck on the rest of your sales. Looks like you got a lot of people interested, too bad you're gettin' out of building, but it's better to see what's important. Hope you still pop in here once in a while, after everything's sold and done, and help us with info or just bs with us

I'll take the books and router base Pm sent

That compressor is not gonna do it. Get like a 30 gallon tank. You also might wanna look at the finish line series of hvlp guns from Devilbiss, great guns, a little more expensive, but they are good to learn on and quality guns that you won't get annoyed with getting a finish from. If you're really interested in the painting aspect you might wanna take a look at learnairbrush.com and talk to shane (that's his screen name too), he knows more than you would ever need to know about spray equipment.

I'd say even if they are crooked don't throw the board (if they are don't use it in a guitar either). You could always use the board to experiment on, you could try out inlaying or whatever.

That's an awesome find, I bookmarked the page, gonna read through the whole thing later, but that looks like a cool idea.

Well, I'm in the same situation, just pickin' up the guitar for the first few times in months, it doesn't help that I cut the tip of my finger pretty deep a few days ago, hehe, no playin' for a bit for me. I would say there's really only one way to get back to playin', that's pick up the guitar, look up some tabs and learn'em and/or do lots of finger exercises. There isn't really a way, as far as I know, that you can get lots of skill back without lots of practice.

No help on the guitar, but just thought I'd put in that the ACT's aren't that bad. Good luck!

I think you should see if you can do a deep, vibrant blue to an orange center, that'd be awesome if it could be pulled off Lookin' good.
