My Builds

[kwame k]

No shit.
Hey Garbage , simply take your moldy old Charvette out of it's gigbag*cough* I mean garbage bag and ask the nice old librarian if she can take a picture of it for so you can share it with us?!

Never gonna happen.

[Diamondjimi]

Yes, reproducing said pile of shit in exacting detail is an artform.

Something Garbage would know zero about...

Especially if you're not doing the finish with the aid of vinyl patches shaped like the wear-marks on the original...(...cough, cough, Fender! Cough!)

Hmm, fill me in here bro. How is Fender using these patches? Are slapping them on when they paint (like you would a stencil)?

[jhale667]

That's the highly plausible rumor...lol...

No shit? That's what Fender did and they charged how much for those fucking guitars? Unbelievable

Trying to remember which relic site it was that was just ripping on them for supposedly doing that, but even they were like "how else are you going to make 300-500 guitars with the exact same wear pattern?" To do it all by hand, one imagines each one would take weeks...

That's why I have some much respect for you guys that build your own stuff and make your own replicas. Any moron with money can buy that EVH shit from Fender, big deal.

Frankie was built for next to nothing and built to suit Ed's needs at the time. That's the true spirit of guitar building, IMO.

Still, even if you can afford it - the irony of someone paying $25K for a replica of something it cost the owner of the original $200 to make themselves...

Well said kwame. I'm building my own Frankie (I'm in the early stages). But I'm gonna go for the detailed relicing ,that's part of the challenge I'm looking forward to. But the bottom line is I'm doing it for myself and nobody else.
I'm gonna be starting a thread about it soon once I can get some progress happenin...

Let's not see the pics here.. do that at Warhams' place because the thought of the ensuing critique brought on from all the mistakes you're doomed to make is just gonna start another flame war, where you chase me all over the site saying "fuck off" n'stuff..

PLEASE keep that mess at Warhams'.

Yea, that's it Diamond J. Shit DON'T POST any pictures of what you're trying to build. Baron Von Munchhausen/Walter Mitty/Coward.Child abuser/Gar, that can NEVER post ANY pictures of ANYTHING he allegedly owns will be Google/critiquing your Honest attempt at actually DOING something......


Trouble is, the things he really knows about are so repulsive nobody wants to know...
