  1. I built the bobtavia, nice pedal, i have alot of fun with it.
  2. lots of pop ups when you visit that site. and watch out for that gator/gain thing that pops up....be careful not to click "yes". otherwise, nice site.
  3. MXR distortion + he is the reason that i bought one, all those years ago.
  4. yes, i guess you are right about the "student" and "teacher" crap, but, joe certainly shouldn't be credtied with teaching vai everything he knows, i don't think he was far ahead of vai, at the time. i read about this somewhere, and it is not like vai spent years "studying" under joe. i think it was just a few lessons in the beginning, then some jamming.....i think vai is far more advanced and creative than satriani, but that's just my opinion.
  5. yeah, you guys are probably right, warmoth is a good company, so they probably know what they are doing. wow, that floretine is a good looking guitar.
  6. i don't believe satriani "schooled" Vai as much as people think. i think vai is more melodic, and more tasteful than satriani (to my ears). i wasn't trying to say joe sucked, or anything like that. i was just saying, that i don't get it.
  7. i have been thinking about building a les paul double cut style guitar. i cam across this http://www.warmoth.com/showcase/wgp_body_d...temNumber=lpsc7 it seems there is not alot of meat around the neck pocket....i was wondering how stable it would be....anyone used this?
  8. my vote goes to Vai. everyone is going to hate me for this, but Satriani just sounds like mindless babble to me...I just don't get it.
  9. 21 years for me.... my how the time flies.
  10. yeah, the plastic radio shack box has to go, i have a hammond box for it, but i haven't painted it yet. the blue one is a hammond box, the other 2 are made from housings from center airbag sensors out of Toyotas
  11. some pics of a couple pedals that i built http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/guitarlan.../guitarland2000
  12. i second the recommendation of general guitar gadgets, i have built a few of their projects....awesome site
  13. i got melvyn hiscocks book for xmas, interesting book, i have never built a guitar, but i can't wait to get started.
