Now that is a bacon sandwich.

Ever see the Mini series "Band OF Brothers"? the seen where he goes, " You find any bacon sandwiched you let me know."
that would satisfy someone Jonesing for a bacon sandwich.

wow thanks for going the extra mile there, now I have to sit back and decide.

Tasty choices here and a bacon sandwich, I am in heaven

All Bloodwood would be the way to go!

 

[The Norwegian Guy]

awesome sandwich!

 

[scartozi]

mmmm........bacon. Does that sandwich come with a Defibrillator?

of course I like the warmoth headstock! Looking good :icon_thumright:

 

[scartozi]

Justatele: Almost finished with some preliminary neck plate designs.....PM me your email.

num num num...  bacon is good...
So is the bloodwood.  I vote bloodwood for the kill  :icon_thumright:

 

[DangerousR6]

Thing to remember about the W headstock, those are all cut will a strat heel, and your body has been cut for a tele heel. It will fit, but there will be gaps in the corners.... :dontknow:

 

[Jusatele]

45 dollar nick to correct that

 

[AutoBat]

22 frets will cover that right up too.

Yes it will, me personally I like parts to fit together correctly....So I just had my tele's cut with a strat pocket.....

 

[Jusatele]

well I did the burning, wow what a difference, then restained and re sealed with grain filler, knocked down the surface with 400, ready to start a lacquer finish, all I need now is advice on the lacquer.

 

[Disco Scottie]

Lookin' good!

Would it be wrong to ask you to actually hammer nails into the drawn on nail holes?

 

[DangerousR6]

Duuuuuuuuude, that's awesome..... :headbang1:

 

[Jusatele]

first, those are burned in, all that was done with a wood burning tool, and second, I am afraid they will work back and ruin the final finish. I sweated over that decision for a week, and decided that the guitar is going be a player, and in that will be used, abused and pounded on to keep sustain going, if I had a nail in there eventually the lacquer will crack as it works up.  SORRY but some things have to be simulated.

I second the nails, sunk into the wood...
BIG nails, shortened to fit a small drilled hole, with the head sunk flush, or slightly under flush.
Rust them up a bit, and finish right over 'em.

 

[Jusatele]

CB, you are the man, I will weigh that during the next week as I figure out what to do with the nitro

+1, I think the real nail would just push it past the redline of the awesomeness meter. And really I don't see that there should be any worry of the nails working out. I don't see the body having enough flex in it to create the torque to push them up.... :dontknow:

 

[Jusatele]

OK. but then we are putting the Nitro off 2 or 3 weeks as we rust the nails to the degree we need. One good thing about the burn is it made the nils spots lower than the top. Now I have to get up the nerve to do it.

 

[Jusatele]

the biggest issue, is I keep going into uncharted areas, and they are unrecoverable if I make a mistake.

So you can see my caution, I mean it keeps looking better and better, but one mistake, and I need to come up with another 200 dollars
