I am not really sure what the purpose of this thread is. I originally thought it would be a discussion about neck staining but after scrolling for 100 pages, I came to the conclusion that you decided to spew everything about neck staining you knew while simultaneously promoting yourself.
This is exactly the reason people are giving you lots of crap on the forum. You are not wanting to discuss anything, just promoting your neck finishing business.
I would recommend setting up a thread dedicated to your neck business in the Whore House section and people who are interested can follow your work and even approach you about having work done. Several of our members who make custom pedals have done so and it works out great.
I think you do great work, and I want you to stick around, but these threads seem like spam advertising and you won't make lots of friends or business with them.
I hope your business continues to do well.

ABOUT EVERYTHING, GUY. THIS IS THE FUCKING THIRD THREAD EXACTLY GOD DAMN LIKE THE OTHERS.paulk1 wrote:what do you mean? serious about what the staining or the cabinet?
IT'S EXHAUSTING. IT TAKES 30 FUCKING MINUTES FOR THE THREAD TO LOAD, AND IT'S SO DISAPPOINTING BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME FUCKING PICTURES.
SAME BULLSHIT STORY. WE GET IT. D&B JAZZMASTER NECKS OUT OF WHAT THE FUCK EVER, AND SOMETHING ABOUT BLACKTOP JAZZMASTERS, AND FUCKING UGLY ASS WOOD CABINETS AND SHIT.
I DON'T FUCKING CARE MAN. YOU DON'T HAVE TO POST THE SAME SHIT IN EVERY FUCKING THREAD. YOU COULD SAY "HEY, REMEMBER THAT THREAD I POSTED ALL THOSE PICTURES IN AND EVERYONE WAS COMPLAINING? REMEMBER THOSE PICTURES? WELL THERE WAS ONE ABOUT A CABINET AND SOME OTHER JAGMASTER THAT I FAKED INTO A JAGUAR. WELL, I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THAT GUITAR."
NOT, HEY, LEMME POST THE SAME FUCKING PICTURES OVER AGAIN, IN A HARD TO READ, COMPLICATED, JILTED FORMAT THAT JUST MAKES PEOPLES BLOOD BOIL. ESPECIALLY WITH THE SAME SHIT IN IT. THE SAME. IT'S ALWAYS THE FUCKING SAME, DUDE.
AND YOU'RE NOT GETTING IT. SHIT IS ANNOYING. REAL FUCKING ANNOYING. LIKE SOMEONE WRITING A FEW PARAGRAPHS BERATING SOME N00B IN ALL FUCKING CAPS. CUSSING AND SHIT. FUCK.
QUIT POSTING LIKE THIS, AND IF YOU DO IT AGAIN, I WILL START A FUCKING CAMPAIGN TO HAVE YOU BANNED. SO HELP ME SCIENCE.

Are these even different necks than in the other threads about this stuff? They appear to be the same necks and the same guitar that've already been posted... am I missing something or is this just more spam?

This is a real shame....
I was kinda hoping that Paul would redeem himself in this post...
but it seems like he doesnt wanna take any advice anyone gives him onboard...
Paul!, your blocks n binding are very good, and we definitely cant knock your end results,
but you gotta approach this posting lark differently!...It's so frustrating seeing you get repeatedly flamed
like this...and its only cause you keep pimping your work!!
If the post's about the difficulties youre finding with staining necks, and the end results,
then just show us your stained neck and the results...GET TO THE POINT!
It feels like bloody GROUNDHOG DAY.....DOHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

first of all, wait a minute, i just thought of something, you guys are acking like promoting this stuff is a crime, why am i defending myself as is promoting was bad, im new to sitting on my computer, usually im doing something constructive but im tired of the bbq and figured ill see whats going on online, i cant work on my stuff because i am awaiting deliveries on my pparts to continue, i come on here and its like i did something wrong,IroniaSudby wrote:This guy is the greatest comeback troller in the history of shortscale.
Not only did he miss the point. He made a rebuttal AND THEN PROMOTED HIS THING FOR THE 4TH TIME.
AMAZING!
maybe i am missing the fucking point, i didnt know it was wrong or is it, all i know is i thought thats what these sites where about sharing work and knowledge and chating about projects,
can someone fucking tell me if its wrong on here to post my pictures????? or work,.. where the hell else do i do this if not on a website dedicated to just that?
are you guys like creepy old men just hiding behind a computer screen?, im not a computer geek and realy only used to use my macbook for recordings and video editing, but figured since im doing this stuff now, i should post it and maybe make some one happy with a great quality freaking neck you wont find somewhere else for half the price, seriously, i know because before i knew i could do this myself with my carpentry expereince, back in feb. i wanted a neck just like i make them now, and couldnt find one for less than 300 bucks, and i would never charge someone that much,
i even put my last neck i sold on my guitar, with the new tuners with it loaded, and freaking recorded it onto youtube so the buyer can see all the frets are level and the guitar plays perfect, intonation and all, to assure him, will you get that from another person, am i so bad, hats gong on here,
'
if posting promotion of work, like you call it is so bad please let me know and ill stop, god i thought i can help someone maye instead you wierdos are like all gettting fucking upset, how the fuck do you get so upset at a couple of pictures you dont have to look at?
is this who im talking too?

That wasn't so bad, was it? Look how quickly you got to the point!!paulk1 wrote:NO THE NECKS ARENT THE SAME, IF YOU WANT I CAN POST A PIC OF EACH ONE AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE FREAKIN GRAIN OF THE WOOD ON THE HEADSTOCK BEFORE THE NECKS ARE STAINED THE DARK AMBER WICH MAKES THEM LOOK THE SAME, YES, BUT THAT WAS THE WHOLE REASON I POSTED THIS THREAD WAS TO SEE WHY SOME AREAS ARE DARKER IN THE WOOD NEAR THE HEADSTOCK WHEN I STAIN WITH MAPLE OR LIGHT AMBER, "REASON WHY I MAKE THEM ALL LOOK THE SAME " DARK DARK AMBER,
Thanks for yelling to get there.
Jags and Jazzies are fine, but it certainly wasn't clear that I was looking at something new when I opened the thread... it looked like the same story, the same necks, the same everything... with a new thread title. Your question on the differences of tinting was completely lost in the sea of the same stuff you've posted before.paulk1 wrote:IDK, SORRY FOR MY OBSESSION WITH JAZZMASTERS AND JAGUARS, I THOUGHT I WOULD FIT IN HERE BEING THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT SHORTSCALE WAS, A JAGUAR, I GUESS THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT YOUR TEMPERS......
I mean, what the fuck did your mom's cabinets have to do with the necks?? Nothing. Why post it?

Unfortunately, page load times have pretty much NOTHING to do with system specs and everything to do with connection bandwidth. 30 minutes is an obvious exaggeration, but hits the point. Even on a superb system like mine, loading your threads takes way too long and all the oddly placed images cause the contents of the thread to jump around all over the place as it tries to load. These poorly constructed posts are bandwidth hogs, plain and simple.
I've got a Mac, dipshit... and I even know how to use it.
Sorry, dude, it's not my computer that's the problem here.paulk1 wrote:INSTEAD OF ENCOURAGING A BROTHER FOR GOOD WORK, IT SEEMS THE SAME GUYS LIKE TO SPEND THE TIME TO WAIT FOR THERE CRAPPY PC'S TO LOAD MY PICTURES THAT THEY DONT EVEN LOOK AT GOOD ENOUGH TO REALIZE EACH NECK IS DIFFERENT, THEY JUST CANT WAIT FOR IT TO LOAD SO THEY COULD HIT REPLY AND SHOOT ME DOWN, JUST FOR THAT, I WILL POST EACH NECK AND YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE, K!
It's a beautiful guitar, and you should be proud of it. That doesn't excuse poor etiquette. You're being a douche and complaining when people get ticked about it.paulk1 wrote:YES THE GUITAR IS THE SAME, SORRY FOR POSTING IT IN 2 THREADS. THATS MY BABY I BUILT FROM SCRATCH AND PROUD OF IT, WELL, LETS SEE, 2 GUYS HATE ME HERE OUT OF HMMM,.......... THE WHOLE WORLD, NOT TOO BAD,
Message here: Don't give me the benefit of the doubt that I may be able to learn a little messageboard etiquette, I'm an ass. I do some good wood work, but I'm an ass and won't change.paulk1 wrote:A LITTLE ADVICE,
CANT STAND ME, DONT WAIT 30 MINUTES TO SEE MY PICS
Absolutely brilliant, chap. Brilliant.
The point, which has been made to you several times, is that the WAY you're posting your content does not make readers want to take the effort to pay close attention to the details. They're a jumbled mess; poorly laid out and sloppy. The wood work is fine, it's the posting that needs more effort.paulk1 wrote:these are the same, take a look at...
I mean, look at cooterfinger's Swinger thread. Look how easy to read it is; it's clear, concise, images are uploaded properly, in focus, placed behind spoiler tags for fast loading... it's a great thread and a great example of how to show off your work to an appreciative audience. You'd get a much better reception if you took some pointers, instead of being an ass when people give you suggestions.
I really want to dig your work, as the work is pretty darn good, but you, the person who has done the work and is showing it off, are coming across as a repulsive individual to such an extent that it sours the perception of the work that you did, transforming a thought of "Hey that's a really good job" to "eugh, fuck this dipshit"
It would seem beneficial to you to try and encourage the "Hey that's a really good job" perception.
What else could it be? Try reading and actually considering the constructive comments and criticism you've received.paulk1 wrote:you guys are straight up HATERS,
im sorry , w the f else could it be, i sware to god, i never imagined posting these type of pictures on this type of site would get such a response.
Do you really think I'm a "hater"? Nothing that I've said in any thread has been a jab at your work, has it? I think I've been fairly supportive of the work... and, believe it or not, the post style criticisms I've offered (and solutions towards fixing them) have all been genuine. Others have said the same things I have, though not always politely... but the polite aspect isn't all that important, the message is, however.
I'm telling you, learn how to interact with people with some level of humility, humour and consideration, and your work will be a goddamn hit around here... but you're working very hard to sabotage yourself in the meantime.
The post that followed the one I just quote dissected would have been a MUCH better only response. This diatribe was just shameful and something of a pissoff for we readers. The one after it was quick, to the point, addressed specific questions and didn't come off as such a childish bitch-fest.
This does seem to be the case... yes.paulk1 wrote:maybe i am missing the fucking point
