  1. I though it was funny. And yes, Jimi's first guitar was a danelectro. It was just funny i mean: If Jimi would have chosen to drink coke, he would have been an accordian player, and no one would know him! or else KoRn and Metallica would have lead accordianists rather than guitarists.... I LOVE PEPSI!!! I play accordian and guitar (among other things) so i guess i found it comical.
  2. LGM, i totally agree with you. Everyone has their tricks to do certain things. Sorry it's off track but.. You seem really mad at all us projectguitar members recently. You're always talking about leaving. I think if you really want to leave, go ahead. but a lot of guys like me reall look up to you. Hell maybe for a year after high school and before college I'll come apprentice with you. I wish... Well anyways, you should keep your secret. it's totally right and fine to do IMO. You have given so much already to this forum, that you should be able to keep a bit to yourself. John
  3. yes he is... oh, and if i am not mistaken, that is a Teisco Del rey! Exactly what steve has been looking for! (bluesprescence if you don't know) The color of the neck is the first dead give away. Next the colors of the sunburst, and the look to the sunburst. Exactly the same as my del rey. Exactly. Steve, I'd jump on this.
  4. The device would be impossible. When you use sandpaper you automatically begin to wear down and take off paricles, therefore a particle measurer and particle counter wouldn't work. Also, only grits that are like 600 or higher have a uniform grit, where there is the same amount of particles in the same concentration for every square milimeter. The lower grit is more like: "ya throw some glue and sand on there, whatever" And brian, I have like 5 sheets of 800, i love the stuff, not too rough, not too fine, good for taking off small bits of wood atta time. You guys are losers! I mean come on! You can usually tell the grits apart by colors. The lowere grits like 80 are allways brown, and etc. Also, just train your fingers. Maybe it's because i have sensitive fingers, but i can tell 1200 from 2000 or 80 from 100 any day just by feel.
  5. nope. a month. I would spend 5 hours or more a day every day for a month, get about 50% through, then give up.
  6. I would see something like that as "Whew hew! I got something to do for a month! Fun Fun!" Good luck!
  7. Not 100% sure, but it shouldn't. Epoxy dries clear, so as long as you have enough dust in there it should be fine. Just try this: If you still have a piece of whatever wood you used for the fingerboard left over route a smal hole, and fill it with the epoxy/dust mixture. Then you'll know what it'll look like. if you don't have a spare piece, then wait for someone like Clavin or LGM to answere your question. They'll know for 100% sure. Buit then again, they're so good that they probably don't have any holes they need to fill in around their inlays.
  8. yea they are pine. So it probably would take longer but not by much. Maybe an extra 10 minutes. I see where you're coming from goat, I might take too much away. But I'm pretty careful, i don't dig it in, i just skim it across the surface, taking little by little, but alot more than i could get with a rasp. I only use this for getting up to a cm or so close to where i want to be, and the rest is by hand... But you're right, when i make my first maple neck, I'll probably get withing 2 cm of where i want it, just in case. Anyone else got any opinions on this?
  9. Alot of people say they use rasps and files and sandpaper by hand. Why? I've been building my first few parctice necks recently, and well I've found that my dremel, and the little drum sander thingy work exceedingly well. I shaped a neck in like 10 minutes + 10 more minutes to finish up by hand with files and sandpaper. How long does it take everyone else? Sorry if this is better put in tools/shop talk... but i figured that this is more about building the neck rather than about the tools themselves.
  10. OMFG!!! IT IS SOOOOOO NIIIIIICE!!!! I will pay you 100 dollars USD plus pay shipping both ways for you to ship that bass to my house, and let me hump it like hendrix, play it for a few hours straight, and hump it again. I wish my parents were both doctors, then i really would...
  11. are you gonna do a solid color over this? Cause you're gonna be able to see the difference in wood. Also, i think you really shoulb go with a top, or at least a really nice veneer, I mean, the point of rear-routing is to be able to see more of the top, and whats the point without a sexy top?
  12. You're right, nothing like the jagstang. Maybe more like this: ? But with a bigger butt end? I don't know... but who cares. It looks awesome. (yours)
  13. it's gotta be that gibby. If it is. SEXY MOMMA!!! See, good things come to those that do good for the best website ever.
  14. elmers wood glue works good IMO. I mean, ya Titebond is better... but it works...
  15. I dig it. As wes said, it would be awesome as a carved top, even if just minimally. It reminds me of the Fender Jag-Stang (ala Kurt Cobain) I think that butt end might be better if it was a very very bit smaller, like .5 to 1 centimeters each side. But as is, i like it. I WIN!!! I see the hidden pictures! The smokes are Marlboro Lights, in the upper right hand corner of the bottom pic, right next to the bottle of titebond. The soda is to the lower right of the body in the bottom pic... looks like Pepsi. I also see an aerosol can on the table, i think. A mason jar? And... some sort of chemical in a metal tin.
  16. I love Hyunsu's work. For some reason when i look at your pics hyunsu, the idea of having fun, alot of it, while making guitars comes back. This is very true. I understand his English better than I understand alot of "American" people's English. "That be there the Chevy" Anyways, my point is, I love your work Hyunsu!
  17. More of a pigeon, than a thunderbird, 'eh? I like it.
  18. yes, yes. But I think it's "understood" that you only post polls in the poll section.
  19. soon, soon. Hopefully tomorrow. It WILL be at my house by saturday. I know it.
  20. ya, i had a dream to make one like that, but with little clocks in it...
  21. yea, i thought of those while i was typing the post. I haven't taken the fretboard off yet... so i don't know..
