  1. Lovely! Great first build. looking forward to seeing a second! I like the body shape, I have something similar floating about in my mind for when I come to do my guitar on a few weeks.
  2. Nope we're from all over the place! I'm UK. Sorry if I said anything outta line, but there's above the board ways of dealing with things, and below the board ways. I detest the latter. Very nice hooglebug, I am loving the headstock and neck.
  3. Lovely work! Sympathise with you on GCSE's, I'm going through them too haha! All the best, great work Pete
  4. As above, only pay heed if they can send official e-mails, from there official adress, and explain what laws they can use. If they can't explain or show you what your doing in a proper legal way, then theyr'e BSing. E-mail them, ask them for a full legal explanation as to what they can and are threatening to do, but I bet it doesn't even exsist. Whatever, if i were you I'd be tempted to make a "Moser-sucks-ass-o-caster" next, not a copy, but not something they'll like much. Seriously, just remember that at the end of the day, if they are gonna chase you down, you have a huge amount of support here, and instead of merely putting one person of Moser for life, theyr'e aggrovating a lot more who sympathise with you!
  5. Nooo! I click Les Paul, then see JS2000 as one of the options!
  6. Does anybody have any idea on how we can cut down on the amount of spam cropping up? If anyone knows anything it may save us a little trouble. Thanks for the heads up, if I see any without a "reported" bit in it, I'll do so. A small, obvious suggestion I guess is to never click on anything in the thread, any link. ALthough it may not only be harmful, I suspect (and have no idea if this is possible, but it wouldn't surprise me) that if they recieve any links from a board, they can track this, and subsequently post more junk here as they think they can get more linkage, so we become a target. However, i don't know this, merely a hypothesis. Could be the other way round, so Pete
  7. Planning helps, get pictures too! Sounds really cool!
  8. At the end of the day you had the courtesy to reference your sources. You stated what you were doing, you have not ripped off his guitar. If worst came to worse and they could do something, you would be told "Ether stop/don't sell the guitar or you will go to court and here is full proof" not idle "Hey! You copied me!" Playground talk. I wouldn't change it tbh, just stand your ground. You make truly wonderful instruments, it's just professional jealousy. At the end of the day, your reference your sources and don't seek to rip things off, enough aspects are different from that guitar and if I recall, on yourse you had the idea of integrating the curve into the headstock (if this wasn't on "Moser the pousers" original, if it was then I'll shut up now ) So, ultimately don't get too stressed. A little bit of friendly dialogue would be good, to try to calm the guy down, but be warned that he is protecting his financial intrests first, not necessarily with anything he can back up. So, take what he says with a pinch of salt. Keep posting back here, as the advice of many is better than that of few. EDIT: Small little question, how did you do your mirror top? Their literally stick a mirror to the top of the guitar it seems, but how did you work it, get it to shape and what did you glue it down with? I'd love to try something similar myself- just don't sue me!
  9. This is music, things don't obselete if people like it. Pickup guitars have many years left, unless some very influential musicians take the new fangled technology, give the world something new, and create a market for it. I love trying new things, but I can't see conventional pickups dying. How old are the designs for LP's and fender instruments? Hardly new, but still so common and popular. Wonderful, I'm curious as to how the mirror finish is achieved though.
  10. The music isn't my thing at all. However, the video is very well produced, and I agree, maybe a bit more live performance would be nice from my nuetral perspective. Very well made film though, fits nicely, better than I initially expected! to be honest, the overiding thing I felt watching that video was severe shock at seeing the guitarist with red LP spin his instrument around him and the head towards the floor- I feared a headstock caualty!!! Those are my very limited thoughts, sorry I can't be more constructuve. Pete
  11. Actually a fat man (maybe homer) breaking a plank of wood over his own head, I reckon now, like some kind of arnold schwarzenneger post burger binge.
  12. Yeah, that finger board is beautiful! Very nice, can't wait to see it progress!
  13. A hellish orange stane, maybe a burst or something to make the demon goat stand out lol would be AWESOME!!! After all, it's not everyday you get a goat cropping up in your maple haha! Lovely guitar whatever you decide to do with it!!! Pete
  14. Yeah, if you can't wait, instead of rushing call on a favour Can't wait to see this one finished, the woods you have are beautiful and I'm a fan of the shape as well Keep it up! Pete
