arer you srs
oh hell!
they might do what they did wiht inscho's stuff, and that is, they hold on it to at the ups store until one of us gets pissed and tells them to get on it.
oh fucking hell. i guess all we can do now is wait, they might not even deliver it, just might send it right back to me.

you sent ups ?

i think you can switch shipping addys on ups.com?

did they give you a tracking #?

robert(original) · Post by **robert(original)** » Thu Feb 21, 2008 5:53 am

sent a pm hilarys way.
basically i printed it and didn't write down the tracking number, when i check paypal.com to see the progress and details it says its on hold.
so most likely they will try to contact one of us within the next day or so, im gonna check the progress again tomorrow and probly give them a call.
i do have an ID # but not sure of what use it will be.
don't worry, it'll get sorted.

ok it came today while i was at work. UPS left a sticker on the door saying they would try again tomorrow. except we are going home to visit my mom (and her new bionic hip she had surgery for this morning). the sticker on the door had the correct tracking #. so hilary got into ups.com and changed the delivery date to monday. Im on vacation all next week so i will be here at the apartment to pick it up. no having to change addresses to the bike shop in lockport.
its a 3 hour drive so i should be home at my parents house around 8 or 9 tonight. bob roe has a computer so i will try and get back on here to see whats up.

sorry about all this dude, i just didn't expect to have anything sent out until the neck was done.

<3 <3

no man its my fault, i should have double checked with you and the address, i jut figured since the neck has been going slow, altho i did the last 4 coats today and its drying and awaiting a level sand tomorrow that it would be better to have that stuff now, rather than 3 weeks from now.

pickguard(s) arrived today.

had to sand a little bit around the neck and bridge for a snug fit. but that was to be expected using a squier standard template on a bullet body. all in all its fucking awesome. i would rather it be a tiny bit too big and me sand it perfect than it be too big and there be blue all around the neck heel.

now i have to get to work on dremmuling out my guitar around the pickup holes. I also have to drill out the middle switch hole to fit the gibson size toggley. no big deal.

so the pickguard is in there so fucking good it doesn't even need screws pretty much.

i have 2 black humbuckers but not a cream colored one. joey said they are kinda hard to find because only dimazario made cream colored ones for a long time.

this thing is going sweet

looks like it fits pretty decently.
looks like i could have moved the bridge route back a lil bit more, but doesn't look that bad, even seems like some of the screw holes lined up.
i did not realize it was a bullet body, i thought it was another squire standard.
oh well, it still looks hawt as fook!
and for 15 - 20 bucks i charged you it seems like it came out pretty well, are you at least happy with it?

robroe · Post by **robroe** » Mon Feb 25, 2008 7:37 pm

totally happy.

i got a sabres game to go to tonight, and i haven't put down the bass yet.

guitar surgery will commence first thing in the morning tuesday

Rob Roe continues to be a man of outstanding and inspiration DIY guitar modding. He is a bit like the anti Icey

Someone needs to give Rob the keys to the Squier Custom Shop. Honestly.

robs parts bins of DOOM

the neck pickup is a temp. i took it out of my first guitar, a brand called saturday night special, they came out of the same factory as nash i think early 90's.

so far i hate how it looks with 2 black pickups. i need cream. NOW

euan · Post by **euan** » Tue Feb 26, 2008 7:45 pm

Yeah I believe Dimazio has trademarked the cream and cream humbucker so no one else is meant to use it.
