Go back to post #1 when you were acting like you just started this. F'kn lame if you ask me. Get "REAL"

Shit, I didn't even get "honorable mention" At least you made the list.

You've disproved this regularly. Face it.

Pete, you really need help for this NPD, It's not healthy, and it will ruin your life. Just be "REAL", and you'll have all the friends that you'll need.

You're cool, I was talking about him. I think we were all pretty civil. I just felt left out.:)

I guess I forgot to insult You. What do I have to do to get on this list? Don't You hate my guts too?

haha I nailed it! Thanks for verifying it Greg.

It was intended as pure satire. I'm not into that crap. I was just having fun. Come to think of it... Didn't VP have a 12 string Goldtop?

KewL Man! Are you going to do a sweet relic job on it too?:eatpopcorn:

I polished it and glued the neck yesterday. I'm going to assemble it this weekend.

Yeah, but experiment before you rewind. For a bridge P-90 in my Junior I ended up with a 500k volume pot, a 1 meg tone pot, and a .033 cap. Play with the pickup height vs. the pole height. It can really change things too. P-90's are really powerful. There's a lot of wire and magnets there. 15%...

It looks fantastic. I can't wait to see them. What was the final recipe for the pickups? How do they sound?

I like your jig there. I thought about using a guide bushing, but I needed as much penetration as possible with the short bit. I measure, and set it with a small adjustable square. It doesn't take long.

I like one piece necks. This is my second one, and first that's made of walnut. This is the jig I use for cutting the truss rod channel in the back. It's very simple. It consists of two cambered MDF rails, and a block mounted to the router base. The rails are clamped to either side of the neck...

No, it doesn't, but the other options are really pricey.

I think focusing on the basics would be the best way to go. It's just natural enthusiasm that makes a person want to do things better, and or different than is planned originally. I think embellishments can only slow the process, and divert the attention away from what is most important. I have...

Thanks for that. I think I still have much to learn though before I start putting my name on the guitar's machine head. I got really bored sitting around watching lacquer cure, so "I'm building a new guitar" I know I said I wasn't into building copies, but this Univox Hi Flyer bass landed on...

I think a Junior would be much better. Melody makers are cool, but they kind of feel like a toy when you pick one up I could do a one piece, but decided to do a two piece because participants may have to join their bodies together, and I could provide an example. I hardly ever use my jointer. I...

I think this is the best idea. The part's list is small so they're inexpensive to build. Once you've built one, you'll have the background, and the tooling to build at will. I'll reinforce what muttley said. It's not that hard to do. All of the jigs that you'll need are cheap, and easy to...

There may have been one in the room, but I didn't inhale. You'll never make me squeal. Thanks Man! I sprayed three coats of clear on it today. Tomorrow I go back to work for a few days, but it'll be good for the lacquer to harden a little before I level it out. Also today I rough cut the...
