Great post brother Dave, many thanks, i'll be considering the cf rods as well, makes plenty of sense that the frequencies will rise with stiffer material that is also light which is what we aim when building the neck.

Not cheap but well worth it!

My Dad used to have a guitar that looked as damaged as this one, sad that he had to used it to paddle across the lake when the outboard motor stalled, dern alcohol

Hi Shane, welcome here bro, looking forward to see the shop and the billets pics once in a while my good man!

Nice production there Bob, wow, that shop of yours is quite busy!

Nice progress mate, i love the rosette and fretboard woods, awesome, keep it coming bro!

Serge

WELL, WE'VE JUST RECEIVED SOME 40 CM OF THE WHITE STUFF HERE, MY CAMERA MUST BE HIDING IN A SNOWBANK SOMEWHERE! HEY JOE, YA SEEN MY CAMERA?

WHOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!

I bought all my truss rods from Shane Neifer and my last guitar was a tiny bit over 4 pounds but i never weighed them, they feel like they are really light though, really easy to install too.

Oh boy, i can feel it, it's gonna hit the fan!

I might have to use the same materials as you and build a D***D SO IT KILLS ANYTHING ELSE THAT STANDS IN THE WAY! AAAH HA!

Thankis Allen, what a change of landscape!

My gut feeling is to side with brother Paul on this!

Hesh, i will predict that this box will be one of the loudest thing you've ever held in your hands, got this gut feeling here!

And i'm gonna pay a visit to my twisted bro tonight, i'm sure he has some nice things to show me!

Nice to have such goodies before Christmas, nice score indeed!

Woah! I don't think that was a HUGE MANATEE! But I sure hope when Hesh vacuumed, he cleaned that up! http://www.mcguitars.com.au/phpBB2/userpix/12_Hesh_Floor_1.jpg http://www.mcguitars.com.au/phpBB2/userpix/12_Hesh_Floor_X_1.jpg That's GRRROOOOSSSSS whatever it is! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :...

Quite different in terms of grain pattern that we're accustomed to see from you Hesh but it should be a sober and an elegant beauty, can't wait to see that grain pop out under the finish, what woods will you be using for the neck bro?

Anyone familiar with the bilderberg group?

I think that they run the show worldwide in terms od shadowy groups of influence, the amero might be here sooner than we think...

Good to hear that you're fine Hesh, sad for this kid though, what a tragedy. My prayer to the family.

Serge

Yes Hesh, please let us know how you are doing out there in Michigan please.

Dennis, i hear you bro, we always enter the craft having in mind some definitive or specific goals that we want to achieve and i remember too well the sleepless nights that i had during my 2 first builds, i wanted everything perfect on the second one which was pretty ambitious but turned out very ac...

That's it, my next build will have a florentine cutaway, i can just smell it!

That guitar will be awesome Graham, clean work bud, keep it up and the pics comin'!

Man, that is nice! Jim Olson has been a longtime reference in the craft for sound and quality and also for innovation, that sure is one sweet looking box, thanks for sharing those nice pics bro!
