holy assballs hurb, those coupletones are really comming thru!
the more i look at your guard, the more i want to copy it and make another one for the 12 string, i think it would look better than the one that i made.

You're right it doesn't line up...but neither does your face!!!

fuck you buddy!!!


:lol: :wink:
It lines up perfectly... with your mom :lol:

Haha, if that's the look you're going for that's fine by me, but if you are going for the outta line look, personally I think it needs to look MORE outta line, or else it just looks like you only tried to make it line up, not purposeful...

It lined up and then I had to sand the control plate side to make the control plate fit better. I don't think its that much of a biggie its out by like a mm and when I am rocking the fuck out no one is gonna give a fuck. people will be tpo busy going wow hurbs awesome to notice.

robert thanks man thats a great compliment coming from the master!

I think every guitar anyone gets on this board instantly becomes a project...
If you think of god as a pair of pants, a spiritualist thinks he needs pants, in fact he wants pants but none of the conventional types of pants seem to fit just right, so he makes his own pants and is happy that his knees are no longer cold.-fibus

OK yesterday I prep'd the body for painting, sanding it fairly smooth but not too smooth as I needed to paint on sealer. I did the front and sides yesterday. and am doing the back today.

You should do this outside but its raining right now, I may have to wait till it stops raining though as this stuff is potent as fuck!

I will be going off to halfords today to buy some primer, choose a colour, clear and some sandpaper. exciting!
