  1. hahaha yes do it do it!!!! wdmusic do red mirror blank sheets for pickguards. and yes neaver car paint is fine. if it was good enough for leo fender in the 50's its good enough for you now hehe. as for the flicky thing, i dont know. i guess just practise different methods on some scrap till you get it looking right EDIT: i know you're all dying to see this - the most exciting bit of guitar porn ever!!!! are you ready? you'll wet your pants im sure lol
  2. yup it really is. you can get red mirror. other than that...um....paisley? hehe
  3. i dont think such a think as a piece of chrome exists. everything thats chrome is electroplated with chrome. so you'd have to get another metal done and have it plated
  4. nah that ones designed to be all cool and shiney, and i wouldnt fit all the pups on it anyway iv gone for the deco s, simply because more people said that one then any other. its gonna be a through neck. cut the side blocks and neck block out yesterday and will maybe get some shapes in the next few days
  5. depends what wood i use. if its nice then i'll just have a natural finish, if its not so great looking then black or something EDIT: went to a great wood yard today and got enough black limba for maybe two bodies and three necks and some lovely african padauk. so this one will be all black limba with probably an ebony board. might do a bit of black tint and burst on it depending how it looks. still dont know which shape to do. discounted desiree shape cos it just doesnt look right. so its down to sakura, or a deco shape.
  6. gonna be starting a new one soon - a jnr. type thing. so no fancy wood tops or inlays or anything like that. it'll be a solid mahogany (or something) guitar with a natural or solid colour finish. its going to have three 15 year old burns tri-sonic pups with master vol + tone (with push/pull to introduce the neck pup), a 5-way lever (usual strat selections) and 3-way lever (series/phase/parallel - or something) the only thing i dont know is which shape to do. im leaning towards one of the decos. any thoughts?
  7. thats what it says on mine. grr this is very annoying. maybe it works on mine right away but needs time to change on others? i dont know
  8. it is now. or it should. or at least it does for me. and jack - couldnt get those forms to work so i just took them off. they replied and told me what to do but i didnt get it at all. ah well, its no great loss
  9. well thats really quite annoying. it works fine for me, and the text is really easy to read for me too. grr at it ahh. i just clicked on the 'welcome...' bit and it didnt work. when i click on 'click to enter' or the picture it works
  10. o dear. its working fine for me and a few other people have said its working. must just not like you hehe:p
  11. no i did the bridge from scratch. just found a pdf of the dimensions and drew it from that. stewmac usually has pdf's of its products and wd has some too. if i can do it it cant be that hard, sketchup is the first 3d cad thing iv ever used so it cant be that difficult hehe
  12. have started trying to my website, to be there till something better turns up. its only a coming soon page for now, but thought i might as well get the address out. www.afguitars.co.uk and indeed has turned up in my signature. im getting used to all this computer business hehe
  13. hehe yeah i found indigo by typing 'sketchup renderer FREE' in google hehe my first, while playable, isnt too great. but then i was 15/16, i had never made anything more than a toy jalloppi at school, and didnt play guitar when i made it. so its not bad considering hehe.
  14. with customs? you mean the guitars or the render things? the render things i've been doing about two weeks lol. the guitars, my first i was 15/16, my second was 5 years later and my third (the purple mirror MoC) was 5 years after that
  15. go here - project guitar forum. go to the in progress thread, theres some really good guitars being made on there. and you can search for me and see my past threads i think the ff thing there is my second guitar ever - a flying v. i just chucked lots of stuff on it to see what i could do. havent touched it in a long time lol. and indigo is free, so i use it hehe
  16. haha blimey thats a blast from the past! as you can see, i wasnt too bothered about the finish looking great hehe
  17. nah, everything pointy is out of harms way, and not really that pointy anyway
  18. thanks! the purple one has been done now, its on the previous page i think. ps, anyone watching those youtube vids - yes, i am poo on guitar hehe
  19. the bastards! hehe well whenever you're ready just get in touch
