I will be posting some pics of a project Shadow is doing that he mentioned in a thread here when his normal exhaust system fan went out. I am doing since he is already juggling bowling balls and flaming swords for other people and because I harassed him to post pictures. So I will post the pics and probably screw up the descriptions, he'll adminish and correct me and I will correct the post.

If this gets too ugly maybe I'll learn to shutup. Probably not.

If you feel this is posted in the wrong place have your attorneys contact mine and the mods and I am sure something will happen. Maybe not.

Shadow has a shop where he makes guitars such as this one. Impressive huh?:eek:

He had in his crunching/folding area a hood over the crunchers/folders to vent out hot air. Fan motor went out. So while the motor is getting rewound he is going to clean up this dust trap which has a high rate of volume. You know, suck chrome off a bumper type thing.

hmmm i like the guitar better than the dustkop but it will be getting powder coated once i finish the cabinet out of thin plywood and if it works like i think it
will then i will make a steel sheet metal cabinet i have access to a lot of cool punch presses and brake presses i just need the time to get over to his shop.


gamekiller that a very expensive guitar the wood used was fished out of a cold water lake, maple like that is hard to come by,when i was playing it, it had a sweet sound using a copper slide and then i kicked it down to drop c and wailed out some god-smack and then to open E for some Hendrix i kind of wanted to keep it to bad it was sold all ready.:shakes:

its a beautiful guitar but telecasters arent my thing. did you do that yourself? i had a rotten maple tree in my yard that i might have been able to get some nice spalted maple out of but never did.
