Stickers, sharpies and paint pens. This is why I have taken to building wahs as of late, don't have  to worry about knob labels and paint and such.

Yep, RadioShack has them for about half that if you have one close by. I live mine. I've gotten to where I use desoldering braid while waiting for it to heat up though.

Why are you guys under the impression you can only have one phaser?

Right.  I built the Stage Fright and it's awesome.  I'm also on the list for the new Doppelganger board.  And I think I'm going to send Keefe some business on the Space Harp too.  Do I need 3 phasers?  No.  I do not.  Do I have a phaser problem?  Not until I start stuffing more than one in the same box (JIMI!).
I can stop anytime man......

That looks great! Love the flames! I've been looking for a Purple Plexi board.
teknoman2 is where I got mine. Also there is a vero layout on tagboard.

It was that way for me too, now when I build, I just start soldering and when I don't have a part, I make a list and start soldering on something else.  When I come across a good deal on the forums, such as hardware or pcbs, I buy it. That helps with lots of extra parts too.

Here is the purple plexi I built for my employee. He plays at church , so I have no idea why he's always wanted one, but it will be a great surprise as he has no idea I am building it for him.

..... I can't decide between a small stone clone, the OTA that Brian has or something else.
I'm confused, why would you choose???   :P

The graphics are a waterslide decal over the copper on a PCB then Envirotexed.
On a PCB? Could you clarify / explain how and what PCB you used?

Hey Jimi. I just cut a blank PCB to size and didn't etch any copper away. I drilled the holes and put the decal on then Envirotexed it all.
Ooohhhh, cool

Out of habit, been using Ernie Ball strings since I started playing 2 years ago.

Yesterday, I bought a set of GHS strings on a whim and kind of expected status quo sounds once I got my guitar restrung.

I swear it's like I've bought a new guitar.  The whole guitar sounds amazing all of a sudden, the notes are more even sounding and clear and open.   Just got done playing again today and I'll be damnd, what a difference.

Is it possible that there is actually some difference between string makers? 
I would have never ever guessed it if there is.
Certainly there is, and various strings sound differently on various guitars. I have found my favorite strings I have used for years sound terrible when tuned down a half step. Switched to Ernie ball. Ghs are good strings, but they go dead faster and I tend to break them more frequently.

Fwiw, The instructions with 2 sets of dimarzios I have say to use the red and black and tape off the white.
