Mr Gums sanded back the finish again and we have a friend who custom builds VW camper vans and he sprayed it again with 2 part car high gloss varnish, the pic there doesnt do it justice now as its in a whole new ball park now, the finish has to wet and dry sanded and then buffed up by machine. then were ready to build. will have it built for the weekend, as of now the guitar is curing

Its already painted, as shown about 6 pages back, it will be finished on monday, the 8th string arrived today, 3 different types of nut were cut yesterday, aluminium,brass and plastic. it will be strung 10- 46, 59 (7th) and 74(8th). the final coats of gloss are going on , on friday, wiring on sat/sun. test on monday with full rig

hello my name is connor, and this is my first and probably my last posting here. I am the Friend of thirsty gums/client/customer/whatever you wanna call me. Having read through all this here, i have to admit constructive criticism is always a good thing, however there is not one bit of it here. rhoads 56, you are a pro guitar builder. surely calling people liars etc etc isnt the way to go about it? you said mr gums professes to deem himself as a professional, please point this out? as i cannot see the place where he has once stated this. from what i can see you seemed to have picked this up from the statement " 8 string guitar for connor brown from putrefy" well thats excactly what it is, whats he supposed to do, write it in hieroglyphics? i will reiterate that this guitar was built under my supervison and nothing was done by mr gums unless i said so. there were occassions where things had to be done over and over again until i was happy with it. all that is on this guitar i asked for. now let me give you abit about the background and inception of this guitar. mr gums built a bass, for fun(which is what its primarily all about) which to me looked ****** awesome to say the least. i asked how he learnt how to do this, he said he read a book. read a book?!??! you dont just read a book to do this?!?! this is a ****** talent. now please bare in mind mr gums is a father and studying in his final year of a 3d design degree. to him its all about music and fun. the way it should be. i saw this as a talent possessed by few in my own locality so i was more than happy to give mr gums my money to build me an 8 string, something i never thought id own but here it is. so for me a guitar playing dream come true. so im happy. i see people mentioning that they are only trying to advise in order to make a better builder, and to get him to admit mistakes? why? who the **** are you that he has to admit to you? does he have to bow down to you? i thought this was project guitar, a place where people share their love for guitar building. to me it looks like a ****in "my **** bigger than yours competition" utter b******. and rhoads just for the record, nice guitars, they look like ripped off E.S.P. designs but nice none the less but also nobody likes an ******* either. and people this guy is not your guitar building god? so stop kissin his ass hes not the be all and end all of guitar building, quite run of the mill actually. scared to be different? **** knows, who cares. not me thats for sure. i would also like to point out this guitar was built by HIMSELF, im sure alot of you have done this too and i think thats class, but rhoads my friend you look like youve got a small company, hence STAFF/MANPOWER. mr gums doesnt have these facilties at all. anyways thats enuff from me. to all who dug the guitar and were constructive nice one guys and your points and comments were duly noted, and to all whose egos are running wild: **** off and remember nobody likes an *******. *a note to the moderator* do your job mate and stop this sorta nonsense happening
