good evening everybody! warm here today 98 and like 70% humidity i think is what they said. got outside work done early then went and picked up some parts for the truck just waiting on the stuff i ordered to come in.

 

Hehe thanks bud..

 

Yea
MY DOG HAS FLEAS....

 

Put my fret markers on the fret face. Undecided yet on how to mark the frets on the top.
Still thinking on that.
Have found one issue. My high g string has a annoying buzz. I have traced it to the temp bridge I have on it. So I'm not to worried at this time. Something to work on this weekend. Spent 2 hours cleaning my garage. Still a long way to go but I can park in it again... Lol

 

are you sure you shaped your nut right?

 

When I moved to Va i got Erie Insurance was with State Farm $1380 yr to $731 yr with Erie........

 

Stupid life, getting in the way

Let's not revisit those 2 pages

 

I think so. I've played with it enough the past two weeks to get it just perfect.
Just the bridge left.

 

i'm sorry i just keep laughing

 

I guess I won't see anything like this untill I get it just right

 

I can't change the name of the friggin parts.

 

so then seriously think it out if all your parts are proportionaly correct and formed properly what could be the issue? could it be an electrical issue? could it be some sort of vibration with the license plate?

 

The license plate is suppose to vibrate and I need to add 2 holes in the plate to extract that characteristic tone from inside. The buzz is because I believe my temp bridge is not slotted and secured yet. When the buzz happens I put my finger on top of the bone bridge on that string and it stops. Bone is very hard so when I build my permanent one it will solve the issue.
I have a single wound cheaper pickup in this so I do have some 60 herts hum but touching the strings stops it so everything is grounded correctly.
Just need to tweak a brand new design.
But I am sooooo happy how it turned out. Definately not embarrassed to show it off.

 

hell i'd be proud of it also you built it with your own hands like i said before if others don't like it f'em

 

Great job Mike it looks good. The next part is learning to play it. That is where time and patients come into play.

 

friday

 

Long week....ALMOST over....the work part anyway. The boss is back in town. Joy turned to sadness when he rolled in the parking lot around noon yesterday. This guy is very good at the business management part of his job, but absolutely sux at dealing with people. And you know what? That is the most important attribute a boss can have....the ability to inspire his employees and to promote loyalty. This cat is the polar opposite. We've seen 20+ year valued employees have major attitude breakdowns, walk out the door and never come back....And "politics" has the decision makers here in a position where they have to stand behind this guy or else they look bad. It's a no win situation. A shame.... What keeps me going is my belief in Karma...It will catch up with this guy at some point. I'm expecting a "Woody Hays moment" at any time now.

At any rate.....

 

Good Morning Folks! Enjoy the Day!!

 

good morning everyone! hope you all have a great day! sad
