I know this is an old thread but I'm new and I just wanted to say that this is stunning!! I think it's my new favourite body shape. I'd love to see some fresh pics of it.

Awesome PM sent.

Well I think it's weird but I suppose that's just cos I always give any new instrument a full check up when I buy it. You'd probably be shocked how many guitar players hardware know-how stops at changing strings, and forget about intonation. After all that's why guitar shops can charge through the n...

These are very cool. I toyed with attempting a pedal once but swiftly put the idea on the shelf when I discovered I'd have to use my brain. I love the look of these too.

Do you make a fuzz? (I'm too lazy to read the entire thread)

I dunno, at the price some places sell parts for.....

I'll keep that in mind too!

Awesome site. It'll help me in my "getting back into guitar" effort. Thanks

Ah cool. I used to have a red one of those, they're great for projects just move the bridge for your desired scale legnth (I had a strat neck on mine, one with the extra fret overhang) plus they have the big swimming pool route so you can load itanyway you want super-easy! Great score. :D One of my ...

Those ones are beautiful. I really dig your drawing style.

Cool, like Frusciante Vs Basquiat or something, I prefer the smearing to the dripping. It looks like you really had fun especially with the first few.

As far as I know he bought up some stuff as an investment, which is fair enough. He's starting to sell stuff off due to the credit crunch. I'm hoping the CC is gonna help me nab a vintage bargain!!

Got a pic?

Sweet looking guitar so far, and that Duo Sonic II is lovely.

My first guitar was a Les Paul copy made by.......erm whatever Ibanez was called before they were ibanez. It had a bolt on neck and cost me £30. I actually wnt in to buy a more expensive guitar but the dude in the shop made me try it out cos it was much better than the other stuff I was looking at....

I looove the bound neck with dot inlays!!

I'd say cut out the body with a router, much easier and better for fiddly neck pocket parts.

Most US sellers will mail out if you drop them an email 1st. The only real difference is the customs forms.

It'd probably be a pretty good project and not too difficult as long as you're gonna respray a solid colour, although there's probably about a hundred people thinking the same thing!

Interesting, thanks for the link.

If you just pick it up and look at it you can't see much, it's when the pickguard comes off you can see the real horrorshow. The guy that sold it trusted the shop (as you would if you'd dropped as much moolah in there as this guy has) they sold him a bad 'un. Tbh if the only problem had been the nec...
