Bullshit. I bought something on eBay paid with PayPal. Item was never sent. PayPal ruled in my favor, then told me that they put a freeze on the account so it couldn't be used, but there was no money in the account so they couldn't give me a refund. As soon as there was money in the account...

Or maybe it's because if trademarks/copyrights/whatever aren't protected, you can lose the legal rights they provided you in the first place.

Not if the machine you use to sand them is typically set up for a compound radius... though if it's cnc and not old school I can't see how it matters.

By that same logic I can ask why doesn't a tele look like a les paul if color doesn't matter? They won't look the same even if you paint them both the same color. They won't sound the same even if you make them both out of the same type of wood. Which has nothing to do with if the wood makes...

Thanks guys. The rosewood was pulled out of his shop too. He used to build banjos back in the late 70s, early 80s and still had a lot of stuff in his shop 20 years later. The burst looks different depending on the light. I used ReRanch's two color burst in aerosol cans. Flash photos seem to...

I just finished one that's from a tree my dad planted when I was a kid, it was my entry in the TDPRI 2012 Build Challenge. The neck is from some wood he had in his shop when I cleaned it out. None of the blanks were large enough for a full scale guitar so the body is 90% scale and the neck is a...

He likely thinks that taking an Ibanez and modding it is "building" a guitar, so he's really not lying. It's not far removed from the debate about if you've actually "built" a guitar when you're bolting parts together. I bought a pre-finished Warmoth body, bought a bunch of other pats, and...

I'd be in

I miss the "all hardtails" option for bridge routs.

Not really. Native speakers would be saying BREAK it, not BRAKE it. Written, brake is a spelling error as they most likely have no clue what a brake is to begin with. And when was the last time you heard anyone say they were going to "shear" their credit card? I'd suggest telling him that...

That's when I stopped following it. I keep seeing a new GOTM photo each month and thinking "Oops, missed the voting on that again this month" The strat I put together a bit over a year ago is starting to look broken in now, maybe I should enter it again. A (very) mild relic finish done the old...

I guess I should have said "not many other people here"  :doh: Anywhos... if you are considering visiting Ducati here's the info: http://ducati.com/company/visit_us/index.do?tab=museum I have a short video on youtube showing some of the museum tour but I can't get to youtube from work so just...

I'm pretty sure no one else here really cares, but Bologna is the home of Ducati motorcycles, you can tour the factory and the museum if you're into that sort of thing. The duomo in Milan is pretty cool but I'm sure all the travel books mention that one.

Hmm... for some reason, to me it looked a lot thinner than the metal one in the picture.

As my username hints I'm something of a Ducati freak and CF is the sportbike version of chrome... so I'm not a big fan of it in general. It's overused and often not a great material to choose for the intended function of the part. Along those lines I wouldn't use a composite neck plate. I'm no...
