Absolutely, right through to the first plugged-in test!is anyone still interested in this?
Did I mention one of my earliest inspirations for style was "Spare Chaynge", Jack and Jorma's tour-de-force on ...Baxter's?@adorshki you’re probably going to loose interet then :nightmare:
i‘m really more of a 60s (music) and guitar enthusiast than a good player!
PM sent. J@nuusks no it says „matrix“. 100 points if you get the reference!
OK at least we won't worry while we wait for the final unveiling.well i‘m going to vienna for two months and i definitely can’t take my deluxe reverb with me! i will have to play with the ****ty *** micro cube with headphones because walls in vienna city are paper thin.. maybe i can catch a quick video in a guitar store. i wanted to check out a vox amp anyway..
I see a first post, welcome aboard, "07"!Hey this build is looking fantastic! Great work. I'm new to this forum but a regular of the offsetguitars forum. I was referred to this build thread from there as I'm planning out a super low budget thunderbird(ish) guitar using spare parts. Does anybody have a blueprint/plan of the body they'd be willing to share with me? my plan is to make a chambered thunderbird body with a strat neck and jazzmaster wiring loom for those interested!
We drift off-topic pretty freely around here, but in answer to your question, I think that's a pretty strong likelihood, as he mentions in post 6 of this thread:Also airplane, is your username in reference to the jefferson airplane? If so, thats awesome!

When you mentioned Vienna for 2 months I wasn't sure if you were going to have 'net access, so this confirms it, thanks!@adorshki i'm not sure if i answered your PM (?). but yes you got the "Matrix"-connection right :witless:
"De Nada" :friendly_wink:and thanks a lot for that steppenwolf song ( '67 live version of "the pusher") i'm only 30 years old and have been listening to 60s music for almost 20 years now, it's amazing that there's still stuff out there to discover...
Or maybe for this guitar:"Anything worth doing, is worth doing right" - Hunter S. Thompson
Or maybe for this guitar:
"Too weird to live, too rare to die"
:biggrin-new:
My bad, I should have ID'd it as another Hunter S. Thompson quote....I don't think he'd mind but I think crediting him on it would even further enhance the vibe.This quote may have to go on the guitar or at least the case once I've built it! If you don't mind that is.
Wait'll ya meet my evil twin.Also, I'd like to thank everyone for making me feel so welcome! As I said before, I am a regular over at offsetguitars and they are a great bunch of guys. But some forums similar to this one and OSG, people are so rude and seem more intent on outdoing each other or just being genuinely obnoxious to each other.
Assuming you're using some kind of CAD program to scale up the drawing, sounds like the way to go to me.I've managed to track down a template of sorts for the body. However, it is drawn up to print on a single sheet of a4. Do you suppose my best bet would be to print it off, use something that i know the definite size of ie the gibson style humbuckers my drawing has, calculate the percentage size and draw some reference lines on my printout, then scale those lines up by my found percentage and fill in the blanks as it were?
Or am I massively over complicating this whole process?
Only when under the influence of experimental substances.t....the further i take the hand away from the pickup, the brighter and clearer it sounds. I can even do wah wah effects with my hand which is funny has anyone ever experienced this with vintage (60's) pickups?
Or have you perhaps been handling too much gold with bare hands - and your palm pores are filled with gold particles - this would affect magnetic field of pickup . . .
