Phill Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 haha wow, thats very cool, i imagined you had all the big ass things that schools have in the technology department you're even more of a legend now. i'd be quite worried about spending a fair bit of money on parts to build a guitar, finishing it and then it playing worse than a £100 squire or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Is Me! Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 that i don't know yet, i was but i'm tempted to leave it, dunno leave it!! If you change your mind later, you can add rivets, but if you add them now and change your mind, it'll be hard getting it looking that sexy again! or maybe just rivets and no blue? meh. I reckon its looking really sexy like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabnit Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Honestly, I don't know what to say! Its so amaizing!!! Sorry to bug you dude but as I want to be a luthier when I leave school could you answer me a few questions please? When did you start making guitars? Did you do it at school? Is it difficult? How long would it take me to make guitars as good as you? I would be happy if you answered them for me as I need as much info as I can get cuz its not long until I'm in year ten now. Cheers.
