I don't know, I lurked the Guitar Projects section here for over a year and a half before actually joining, maybe over two years, but I always remembered seeing his stuff and thinking he made the ace-ist shit ever.

Last he said, he got tangled up with the law and has a leash on him. He probably has to pay some fines, probation & some classes before he can haul ass.

Because that sort of thing needs to be made public.............
He said this as one of his first jm bodies, chambered basswood, he reworked the neck pocket for me wich was awesome of him (thanks again!) Everything is snug except the bridge posts which is du to the chambered body.
I'll swing by my folk's place where it is hanging to cure and snap some pics for you guys B)

...in the pub, which isn't open to the general public.
Unless it was somewhere else, too, in which case I missed it.

thanks! Its a light coat of clear, two medium coats of paint and a layer of primer then all of the green, red, and bondo underneath that
I'm hoping this will age REAL quick, i'll just have to play it and see.

My one is like a non-metallic version of this, like an aged daphne blue. Love the blues. This'll look amazing when completed!
