  1. How Fast Is Ur Internet Connection?

    in Put it to a vote

    Posted

    Don't foget he's in Sweden. It's much cheaper there. There's no piracy laws either(up until yesterday)

    I live in Sweden...

    You can get 10 and even 100 Mbit fiber, but not for $10, more like $50-100

    But that is only in the larger cities.

    Most people can get 8 Mbit, almost everybody can get 0.5 Mbit (ADSL)

    I pay $45 for 8/1 Mbit (8 down, 1 up)

    Anyway, we (sweden) was one of the first countries with laws against piracy, long before US B)

    The new law makes it illegal to download copyrighted material, before it was illegal to have, use, share and upload copyrighted material. (you could download but not have or use it... I know... :D )

    Cheap... well:

    Example:

    12 Neck Mounting Ferrules,

    StewMac: $5.44

    GMF (the only supplier of parts in sweden): $48.16

    Maybe cheaper internet but... :D

    Thanks!

    I'm looking through his website. I don't understand a word on there, but he's come up with some interesting ways of doing things.

    http://www.fagerlund.biz

    Hehe, I've been thinking of translating it for ages, I just need a few more hours every day :D

    holy mother  that's beautiful!!!  I love explorer's and that's an amazing example!!!

    the quilt top is soooo beautiful and looks perfect in blue

    love the 'natural' back and sides!! defenatly a good adition!

    how does she sound??

    any tips for using the gotoh dual action truss rod? I'm thinking about using one for my next project (my first home made neck) and was thinking about using that very rod!

    "She" sounds good B) Its hard to describe a sound, it works best with lots of overdrive, the pickups are kind of "dirty" sounding (very hot pickups) a little trebly maybe but the best neck pickup sound I have ever played with.

    The gotog truss is very easy to install and works well, just route a 11x9 mm slot for it and drop it in with the "open" side down.

    Very nice, I got a surprise for you in a few weeks  :D  but I ain't saying a thing until it's done!  It will be my going away gift for not making guitars in a year.

    And as you already know it will be blue. 

    I love the inlay at the 12th, is it CNC or laser cut.

    Can't wait to see it... :D

    The inlay is lasercut, laserengraved (with a little help with the dremel) in the fretboard

    Thank you all!

    The "double" is a great looking guitar, and I bet it plays just as well as it looks :D

    I would like to hear a soundclip of the 12 string, I'm thinking of building one (only one neck though :D )

    My favorite guitar this month was the SG, amazing work, and ofcourse the polka V (randy is still my hero B) )

    But all guitars are amazing, I really like the Bocaster, when idch started cutting that one I thought, "my god, that must be the ugliest guitar on earth" but he proved me wrong :D

    Very beautiful. The top has nice dye on it. The carve is great!

    You seem to use Ibanez trems more than anyone on this forum. I believe thet you are from EU, so, where do you buy Edge trems (link please)?

    mullmuzzler | OSSMT

    I buy them "second hand" :D

    You can order the edge/lopro from Ibanez, but they are very expensive.

    I paid $50 for the black one.

    Thank you all! :D

    Very nice indeed.  I can't wait to finish mine, it will be about the same style, a bit more PRSish than yours, but with a AANJ too.  I like your neck, but I would loved to see a volute there, but the joint turn out amazing.  Why didn't you did a natural binding?  On that top, the figure is right on the edge, it would have look killer.

    And I love the way that you glued the top to the body, I have to leave mine at the wood shop since I got no big clamps, but you have gave me a great idea for the next time.

    Your guitar looks amazing!

    I didnt have enough top left to do natural bindings, the bindings cover 1/3 or so of the top now.

    HEY look at that WOW OOOW AHHHHH  :D

    Great work man And thank's for the pic's there very helpful well done :D

    so what did you use for the finish? and got any sound clips??!!??

    !!METAL MATT!! B)

    Nitro finish, no soundclips.... yet :D

    Yeah, pretty sweet dude. How thick was your top??

    the top was about 2 cm thick, the binding covers 2/3 of whats left of the top.

    The top was sold as "plain" maple, not figured thats why the very "light" flames, but I kinda like it that way :D

  25. Jem Decal- Where Do I Get It

    :D Hey, JFC, I think i've figured out what this tutorial is about - it's about criminal copyright infringement/counterfeiting, and the bad behavior that results when somebody catches you at it! You see, it all started with a newbie who needed an accomplice to commit fraud, and he got mad when Perry called his attention to the fact that he was commiting fraud, so in the classic angry young man style that's become so popular with all these rebels without a clue, he told Perry to butt out if he couldn't help! :D If this were a South Park® episode, this is where Stan would say, "You know, I've learned something here today...".  :D
