Not a Warmoth, but cool video of the CNC process...

Sweet! That was cool. I also love DBZ guitars :icon_biggrin:

 

[JaySwear]

Awesome! It might have said and I just missed it, but any idea how long that would have been without the time lapse?

 

[DangerousR6]

A DBZ.....

It didn't say, but judging by the rest of the process, you can see how long it takes to carve a top. It's no wonder they cost so much more. Ties up an expensive machine for a while that could be doing other things. I'll bet you're paying for two or three bodies when you buy a carved top.

I take it that guitar is not legal for purchase in the USA.   :headbang1:   I have a totally unrelated question to you guys.  My UW account seems to be glitched out pretty bad, not allowing me to see new posts unless its from the recent posts link.  If I try to mark posts read, then it will come back with an error telling me to log in and log out, which I have done many many times.  Nothing updates. Has anyone run into that before?  Maybe I need a big reset from the operators of the forum. :dontknow:

If you are referring to the legal status of Absinthe, it is legal in the USA.  It regained it's legal status a few years ago. 
However, drinking that stuff should be illegal!  We bought a bottle last year to enjoy at Thanksgiving.
The most god awful stuff I have ever tasted.  It taste like you are drinking soapy Aqua Velva  :icon_tongue:
Never again... 

 

[Firebird211]

I have purchased some online, but I thought it still wasn't legal for sale directly in the US.  If so, thats good to know.  It is the bitterest thing to drink.  Yucka. :icon_tongue:  I like how that guitar carries the illusion that it is refreshing. :icon_biggrin:

 

[rapfohl09]

That's pretty friggin cool. Anyone know what that notch it cuts in the side is for?

 

[whitebison66]

Yeah, what's up with the notch?

Can't add anything to the guitar discussion, but re: absinthe: the proper stuff is still illegal in the USA. But in 2006 or '07 America lifted its outright ban and you can now buy various watered down, not-really-absinthe absinthe. I do hear it tastes quite disgusting. Being in the UK which has never banned it, I've developed quite a taste for (real) absinthe. A fair few songs have spawned from my drinking of it although I can tell you that it does not improve your guitar playing skills in the slightest :laughing7:

Just don't cut off your own ear and give it to your girlfriend. :icon_biggrin:

Does the full blown Absinthe taste like soap?  It could not taste any worse than what I had.  Plus, we poured it over the sugar cube using the Absinthe spoon like tradition dictates to help remove the bitterness. 
I had two small glasses, having to force down the second and could not take any more...

It does improve your hearing, 'cause smething that would normally sound hideous sounds very impressive..... ccasion14:.....skoal...

Finally got to watch the video, cool. I always love watching this stuff. Nothing cooler though than watching a swiss lathe squirt formed metal out of the spindle though. (it looks that way).

One of the reasons I like these videos so much, is - I know where to go to learn machining stuff I need to know. I don't know where to go to figure out workholding. So seeing how other people solved problems is always kinda cool.

I have two bottles of the 'real deal' I got when I was in England/Europa a few years ago. Neither bottle/taste I would consider "bitter" per sa.

The closest I could describe it to y'all (and I just take shots, no f-ing sugar cubes for me) - is: Jagermeister-flavored rubbing alchohol.

I haven't been able to bring myself to sit down and drink a bottle (or significant portion thereof) to feel/evaluate on its "illeagal" effects...
however, your tongue goes numb as soon as the first drop hits it.  :confused4:

One bottle is French, the other Czech:

Whenever I see anything about absinthe, I think of the scene in The Bank Dick where W.C. Fields orders 6 glasses of absinthe all at once.  I remember the first time I saw it thinking two things: 1- Based on what I know about W.C. Fields, those glasses probably were all actually filled with absinthe and 2- It's amazing he didn't die earlier with that kind of drinking going on. 

 

[kboman]

I remember absinthe as rather nice tasting, but boy it kicks like a cranky old mule...

 

[Firebird211]

The strongest one I have had was the Czech King of Spirits.  It is like a rubbing alcohol Jeigermeister flavor with mint and a kick of bitterness you cant really cover up.  It comes complete with wormwood floaties. The only thing that was troublesome to me is in order to feel the effects by drinking enough, you are going to get poopfaced off of the alcohol anyways.  I don't party like that anymore.  Sorry for the hijack. :sad1:

And the hellbeast in the middle is the evil puss that lives in your closet and only comes out when you drink Absinthe. It forces you to lick its fur all night, so you wake up with the mouth of damnation and the dread certainty that the phillips head death driver of doom has been firmly lodged via your sinus cavities deep into the pain center of your brain. There is no escape.
