We're more than welcoming actually, I just find it tedious that you would choose to link entire threads from your board (sometimes just starting a new thread with a link to another) rather than just copying the content here for us to discuss in line, you'll get a lot more replies and interest if stuff is right there to read, otherwise it just comes off as lazy. I don't see how it's hard to edit your original post and copy the BBcode into a new post here.


I'll keep that in mind, thanks...

a couple of teaser pics and a "read all about it here" would probably get people to click the link.

Man, after seeing those pics I want one twice as bad.
Smells like Rock n' Roll

But then you have to click back to shortscale to comment on it. It's just counter-productive.

This isn't an "offset" thing. I find it equally annoying when people just link news stories and the like, or products and stuff - forums can have embedded images these days, and videos too, you can use quote codes to make clear you're referencing something - why not utilise that?

OK... I get it. I just thought with open tabs it wasn't that big of a deal. But I'll comply in the future.

I wasn't berating you further, I was talking to Bubbles.

Comply? Please don't take things so seriously.

Yeah... I knew you were talking to bubbles, just interjecting further thoughts.

As for "comply"... must be my military/NASA background.

I thought YOU were taking things too seriously!

Peace. Lets talk about the Duo now...


:D

Oh, and on the decal issue, it's your guitar so do as you will with it.

I'm making a Mustang/Duo-Sonic style project guitar with a body handmade by our very own Robert and a Warmoth neck. I'm going to slap a Fender decal on it, I'm not sure I would have been arsed to do it if it already had one existing though.

I got ahold of an excellent silkscreened spaghetti logo (with the right "texture" like the originals) and the small "DUO-SONIC" lettering underneath, very accurate and not a feeBay inkjet special.

Here, they're at offestguitars... I'll post a link to the thread:

:wink:

I have no idea about Fender logos or accuracy, I just play the things.

Haha... no, just lucked out.

NASA figured a few fat old uneducated greasemonkey airplane guys might be able to fix the mistakes of the 22 yo engineers trying to design the new spaceship...

:)

(nothing against 22 yo engineers)


Anyway... when I get around to opening up the Duo... I'll post some shots of the routing.

Congrats.... and thanks!

BTW... the new program Constellation, (which comprises the Aires I Rocket / Orion capsule) is ramping up as the shuttle is winding down. We could always use engineers...

(not that I have any pull)

I'm a 3D Graphics Design Engineer with a sideline in Analogue Guitar Effects Pedal Derivation. I'm not sure NASA needs my expertise unless they want me to unpixelate the Rocket, or tape a DS-1 to the nosecone.

I am so glad those have 24 inch necks. This is going to corrupt entirely new generations of guitar players--and moar wimmins!
