      That, fake hood scoops and "Do It Yourself" T-Top Kits from K Mart (which would remove the load-bearing tendencies from the roof yet failed to include frame strengthening supports for the undercarriage, resulting in your car folding up like an accordion when you drove over railroad tracks) were a charming delight as well.

        You expect Garfuckle to make any sense?

            Here are some routing options.
            Make sure to post pictures here throughout the process. And ignore everything that GARgle posts, he's been very bitter since the Mexicans have taken all the low paying jobs around his bus kiosk.....

              Done and done.

              My dad and I have narrowed the build down to one of two guitars. The Bumblebee or the VH1 Frankie... I kinda want the VH1 more.

                  We've built a lot of things together. Model planes for grandpa, fireworks displays for the friends, and all sorts of things. He was said to have built a Flying V back in the day with his best friend, so I don't know. We're both very patient. We can do the guitar it in a summer I think. My dad and I don't always get along and he has a very short temper, but I think something like this will be great for our father son bonding.

                        Well the first thing you are going to need is a fresh corpse. How you steal one from the country morgue is up to you and then you need to murder someone for the fresh heart and brain. Then you need a bunch of cool looking lab equipment, a kite, and a big ass electrical storm.

                              Elvis is correct: newer Squiers especially from China are an eighth-inch thinner than standard.

                              They can be used, but I don't like the radius on the edges, the Chinese strats and Indonesian ones have shit parts, and there are some runs that are proper 1-3/4" inch thick.. but that's splitting hairs.

                              When I was younger the only way I could tell strats apart was to spend alot of time looking at the real thing in shops, to become familliar. There's a reason why the thicker bodies are preferred over the thinner ones.

                              Other strats that are proper thickness are Mexico, Japan and some Korean from the year I posted.

                                On the flip side of the coin we have you Gary - you've managed to successfully produced evidence of owning nothing, and also managed to show yourself as being nothing more than a lying fake who's only talent is that of being a connoisseur of Google.
