Why do you think I'm not happy?

I'm plenty happy, I just think Leather Tooled Pickguards are stupid and ugly and that the Telecaster is ruined with that on it.

lol. it's cool babe. i don't like the leather PG etiher, and i agree the tele looks shit because of it. you are just feisty and extra salty today.

That's the way he responds to most my posts. I guess he thinks it bothers me.

alas, i think every thread DDD makes in guitar sections, regardless of whether the item is "pretty" or "ugly" will from now on
have a buncha h8torade from the usual folks

I don't really care. I really don't. I'm fully aware that I'm the only country guy here and that the style is much different then others. I just do my thing and surf that wave! If they don't like it, Fuck em!

that's cool that it doesn't bother you, but it's kinda annoying to have to read over and over.
=[

I'm sure it's annoying to a lot of people to have to read the Vortex of hate day after day. It doesn't really bother me about my person projects. About NoHo, I get defensive because with that it something that I'm really trying to build and get off the ground. About the projects...... ppsssssst. Whatever. Fuck em!

If it bothers him so much people talk shit about NOHO, WHY DOES HE POST HERE? I just can't get this. Sorry if I'm cynical but I think the only reason he's here is because no other forum would put up with all the BS Aug and DDDave have done to its members.

All you people who love NOHO, can follow them. Same ole story with these guys, they want to exploit what the community here built and cry about how they're treated.

There are other people on here who do projects and NEVER get any hate, so spare me the lame excuses of why nobody likes these guys. I was willing to give DDDave the benefit of the doubt when Aug got banned, but the way he acted to Robert(OG) was awful.

Why am i here? Cause I've made a lot of friends here.

Did I come off as Crying? Cause that's not the way I felt.

100% shitty. thats all im going to say about that.

Yeah I wouldn't lump anyone that gets on with Aug and DDDave with them.

Maybe they're good people off the board or whatever, but mind you, from what I've heard about the way Aug leads his life of the board from his own mouth not him. Maybe Dave though. If you keep him away from your leather, or he'll turn your brand new Easy-Chair into Elephant Afterbirth in minutes.

I wish that I understood what the hell you were talking about. I'll assume its a dig.

This Thread really took a turn.

Teles cool for $150. Pickguards a bit meh though.
I'm not trying to join in the bashing here but why are they always dull or weird Dave? Can't you do something fun like a cartoon design or something? It may swing some opinions.

No, dull colour and dull designs. I dont think the guitar community will rush to buy pickguards with images of jesus or roses on them.
I know you are perhaps limited with real leather but what about faux leather or another material? Could you apply your skills to that?

Do you have a link for the strap.. i never saw it.

The link may be gone. Maybe Rob can post it again.

What do you mean by Faux leather?

You didn't say anything negative, Bassintom did. If he wants to diss people here who have not stole money from people or disrespected members for some clowns who have done so, he can get the fuck out of here and I don't think thats shitty for me to say AT ALL.

Like fake leather, different materials.

That's what I do! I mostly make belts and straps for folks.

As far as tooling, it can only be done on leather. I've had many vegans ask my that same question. You would not get the relief (like a lil sculpture) that get on real leather.
