I'm still totally dumbfounded by the whole thing... it still hasn't rung true that I've got it sitting here.

Totally amazed to the lengths you've gone to piece it all together... at such a high quality too !! I'm definitely scared to pull the lid off !!

I got a lucky deal on this one I think. So thank you again !!

Once I have the diagram I will do demos. :D

Do you have all the photos of this build together on your comp ? Anyway quick easy way I could get them from you ?

If not I can always paste them from OSG... no probs

Owen - switching diagram:

I haven't got any of the build documentation anywhere other than on photobucket - quickest way to save them is to use the two threads in the OSG Library and copy paste I'm afraid.

Stop being homo and do an demo.
Fuck contours, paint jobs and onboard bullshit we want to hear it.

If you cant play 'Diary of a madman' by Ozzy Osbourne (without a pick) through a clean amp it is shit. Deal?

You been on the drink Fran ?? :lol:

I wasn't making excuses, I just didn't wanna talk out my @ss which is too easy for me to do anyways... if you want me to make excuses I can....


I have a photo camera that has options for recording video but the sound is rubbish...

I have mic to record noise but not sure how to match that up with visuals...

... and if I marry the 2 then somethings gonna give... so is it worth the hassle ?

if paint jobs aren't important, then is a sound demo alone enough ?? huh huhhhh ?

you see my dilemma ?? :lol:

just trying to work out the magics of imovie as we speak... :roll:

Well o.k... a shitty demo is what you'll get !! :lol:

Sorry, it's pretty poor quality and doesn't really much justice to the guitar, but anyways... totally ill prepared...

I forgot to knock on some overdrive at the end... it can really sing !! :oops:

Too bad the camera doesn't pick it up... I think I might do an audio one instead.

First real demo as such and it sucks !! :lol:

Thats awesome dude, just listened. What a piece of kit! Looks good too, it suits you.
Which of the onboard effects do you think you will use the most?
They all sound quality, in fact, this is the second time today onboard Tremolo has impressed me. 8)

Your statement shocks me, you seem like the kind of guy who would rush out, buy a Jag HH, get a green pearl guard, and then add the circuitry from a Devi Ever fuzz pedal of some kind into it.

I've thought about it alot but I'd never really seen it done well before. Now I'm totally inspired. The roller pots are the key apparently.

I now have hopes to one day see the Franken-Guar.
