Diamondjimi's Frankenstein Replica

[jhale667]

Lived where? L.A.? Hale, I know L.A. is like a dream compared to whatever sticks you came from, but most of the people I know have had the opportunity to live there and have chosen not to. It's really the armpit of the state, for a lot of reasons...one of which is that a lot of the people are poseurs. (Know anyone like that?)

In the Front Line, I said I was talking to someone a few weeks ago who knew more about Iran than I do... but notice I didn't say who it was. Nobody here would believe me even if I said. But I wouldn't do that anyways, because I'm not a namedropping douche.

Show some class, Hale. Turn away from the Douche Side. And stop posing like a hayseed.

Perhaps if you'd stop posting like a douchebag...

[Blackflag]

What is this, I know you are but what am I time?

[jhale667]

You prefer "asshat"?

Through trying to derail the thread, dumbass?

[Blackflag]

Stop namedropping.

[jhale667]

Stop namedropping.

STFU.

And I'm sure our buddy Gar knows this too

The paintwork is an immaculate reproduction, you can't deny that one on him. Bbut the assembly and playability itself looks to an illiterate interpretation: he needs to start with a better neck and body next time.

You can't deny the truth. Kiss the ring, troll!

But nothing!
The body and neck are quality, anyone with an inkling for guitars can plainly see, Peabrain.
As for playability, it plays and sounds sweet! Probably almost as good as your plywood/bolt on Charvette!

I glue all my bolton necks into the slot.

Are they your Michael Bolton necks?

[indeedido]

By "slot" do you mean neck pocket? I doubt just glueing a neck into a neck pocket is going to equate into transferance of string vibration or tone. As we all know, when Gibson glues a neck on a les paul, it does so with a tenon joint. That tenon joint gives a tight fit. Much tighter than your glueing of a bolt on. Your idea equals failure.

Natch...

[GAR]

.. tighter than your glueing of a bolt on. Your idea equals failure.

No, I use Elmer's white glue. If I wanna change a neck, a little sideways bap with the edge of my fist will break the bond easy after the screws come out. And once it sets, no side-side wiggle ever.

Try it with your next build. I make a small smiley face bead of glue not very thick in between the neck bolts before I drive the screws in squishing the neck together with the body. If I take it apart, I dont' peel the old glue, just add a little more. If I change the neck, I do peel the glue out with a safety razor or chisel.

It helps if you change lots of necks on a favorite body.

You play the fucking radio!!!

[GAR]

and you play...

[Diamondjimi]

You can make smiley faces with Elmer's Glue but can you built one of these muthafuckers?









Hey, look ,I just made a smiley face!!!

Had the original in my hands years ago.

I was told the reason for the quarter, I'm probably the only one here who knows.

Lie!

The quarter was added to compensate for his new (at the time) Floyd Rose inability to rest completely flat against the body. It was flipped under the Floyd base to keep it resting level .

No, dude - he did it because Mick Mars said it was cool, remember?

[indeedido]

Ed didn't glue his neck down either but he did want more transference. Note the extra two screws under the plate. Not sure this works either but he's a "tone chaser".

[jhale667]

GAyR, by comparison, is a bone chaser...

[GAR]

No, the Floyd has never had an inability to rest flat. That is not the reason.

XLNT! You're the only guy to do that. My Kramer has six but the extra two go thru the neckplate. That's just the way I got it.

But I like your ingenuity in hiding the extra two. That's great, that's originality right there..

[Diamondjimi]

Well Capt.Stupid , let's hear the reason...

Captain Stupid is far too stupid to type for you tonite, Detective Baffled.

[Diamondjimi]

So you've decided to pop by and get the runs all over this thread again, huh?!

[GAR]

Each post of mine generates about 6 of you Sheep Pen trolls' replys, is that what you mean?

[Diamondjimi]

Fuck off!

[Nitro Express]

I stick my neck into the slot and it shoots white glue.

[Nitro Express]

Lie!

Due to the neck being too high in the neck pocket due to some dumb ass dribbled glue in it.

[Nitro Express]

The quarter was there so Eddie could always call home if he got in trouble. No cell phones in those days.

[hideyoursheep]

DJimi, how does it sound?

That's the important thing, yes?

Very nice, thanks. Warm tone with great sustain ringin through it. Thinkin about changing the pickup to a Duncan JB or Pearly Gates. Still need to upgrade the block. It looks great hangin on the Cedar wall in my studio. Friends who pop in an see it for the first time are trippin on it.

I'll post something in the near future once I have a chance to record a sample...

The case is a safer place for it. I wouldn't let my friends step on my guitars!

You must come to realize, that when he means "tripping" it means they're amazed by it. Not walking on his guitars. But that would certainly be a good relic process for the Frankenstrat... Eddie literally would throw his guitars in the bed of his truck when he went around town.

GARfail pwn3d by a 14 year old. I'm not surprised.

Nice pwnage, kid!

He's too young to understand sarcasm, what's your excuse - lobatamy?

Pig flu? Canatardism?
