Those Cornish pedals are quite possibly my favorite.

Very nice solution. I must admit, I use a big metal file in those instances.

Paisley is kinda nice, in the same way that Hawaiian shirts are kinda nice. I guess that it's a vegemite decoration.
Well, I mean, it's a great place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there kind of nice I suppose.

Now that the Memphis factory is closed and operations moved to Nashville, does anyone know it they have tours yet? The Memphis tour was really neat.

All them would be my suggestion.

yup, I checked everywhere but nothing.  No pay now button in Tayda page, no invoice received in my email.  I guess that time you placed the order where you're led to paypal is the only chance to pay?  does anyone have their phone#?  I can't find one too.
That should have said call them. Sorry for the confusion.

The quality of the body is better than the strat one I built a couple of years ago. The neck is solid, I'm really surprised at how well it's made and how good it feels.

That's the power of CNC routing. Consistency is a quality of its own, and if you can program well, why shouldn't that deliver good bodies and necks. If building my own has taught me anything its that there are so many ways you can screw your build up with a router. The slightest wobble and oops, you've just 'volunteered' again for endless and endless sanding. Still, its fun building your own bodies and necks. There's so much more you can do when you're not limited to assembling prebuilt parts.

So, are you anything like me? That when you've not even finished with the last guitar you're already planning the next builds? And the next ones thereafter?
I've been looking since Saturday. I kind of want to do a Flying V and an HH tele. This build was probably my 6th or 8th. I normally enjoy finishing myself, but I'd been wanting to build a paisley one for a wile, and prefinished was easier than putting the material on it myself.

So I put this together over the weekend. GFS body and neck, dragon fire hot rails pickups and a 5 way strat switch.

That moment you realize you forgot to order a part from a site that charges ludicrous amounts for shipping.

That moment your second order arrives and you realize you forgot something else...

That moment you first plug something in and your hear a POP and smell smoke.

That moment you plug in your board and hear a loud squealing howl.

That moment you realize you were following the wrong version of the build docs.

That moment you knock your soldering iron off the bench.

That moment you catch your soldering iron after dropping it....

That moment you smell roasting pork for some reason.


....erm, wait, no, these are the opposite of what you asked for. Oops.  ;D
All those magic tricks and smoke! Good times....
