MLP Guitar: A POLL....

***b-squared*** · 02-03-2009, 08:28 PM

The build has taken a little longer than planned; of course perfection takes time, and when you get the best guys in the business it's not going to happen in a week. Artists....

With that in mind, please look at the poll. Thanks!

BB

Gunner · 02-03-2009, 08:34 PM

Wait please. This is a bad xxx Axe! Don't rush it, allow time for perfection. I don't think anyone is in a hurry.

AXE · 02-03-2009, 08:39 PM

Do it right the first time

If it takes another 6 months...

I don't even have a ticket, but would like to see it done to perfection.

Jason · 02-03-2009, 08:40 PM

What, no spray booth?

***b-squared*** · 02-03-2009, 08:42 PM

Roman can explain it better than I...I'm just a humble guitar hack.

captcoolaid · 02-03-2009, 08:48 PM

what are people already complaining already? well, no good deed doesn't go unpunished. ungrateful people

Jason · 02-03-2009, 08:49 PM

Well I guess for a nitro finish you'd need to keep it in a booth for a month or two at least as it cures... Would be pretty expensive to keep that running if you weren't refinishing guitars constantly. Hadn't really thought of that... used to poly.

jco.1 · 02-03-2009, 08:50 PM

I've waited this long for my new guitar, why not let it be perfect when I win it?

Seriously, as long as there are new photos along the way, I couldn't care less.

BOBBO · 02-03-2009, 08:54 PM

VOTED in the poll !!!

reading back to the original thread, it's supposed to be aged too. right? i wouldn't want this guitar slammed out. i mean look at the players involved in this, this guitar is really a cool part of guitar history. how many other builders do this stuff, collaborate on one guitar. wow!

***b-squared*** · 02-03-2009, 08:56 PM

Agree 100%, Captain...

BOBBO · 02-03-2009, 08:58 PM

The longer it takes to complete the more money raised for MLP and the MLP guitar will turn out that much better ... Seems like a no brainer !!!

Money is not the issue all I care about is someone will win something that will be treasured for a life time & can be passed on.

***FLICKOFLASH*** · 02-03-2009, 09:33 PM

When else in guitar history have a group of the best of the best collaborated on one project ?

You know anything about spraying Nitro ? Humidity levels need to be at certain points. Plus it needs time to cure. UNless we want it Poly coated or Raw

no poly EVER! :0

***b-squared*** · 02-03-2009, 09:49 PM

Give me Nitro, or give me death!

(I don't really want death, but I'd rather have it raw than with poly...!)

NITRO RULES!

spacebubby · 02-03-2009, 10:13 PM

Anything worth doing is worth doing RIGHT! Don't rush a good thing and turn it into crap.

pinefd · 02-03-2009, 10:28 PM

To be honest with you, I'm not even sure why this is a question. Was someone complaining? If so, give them their flippin' money back and cancel their tickets. It will just increase my chances of winning. And since I want my guitar done right, take all the time you need guys!

twinrider1 · 02-03-2009, 10:55 PM

I would want it finished properly, no matter how long it takes.

mrpesca · 02-03-2009, 10:59 PM

By all means finish it right but start a new build to keep us salivating. I'll pony up again. (By the way, I voted the opposite way just to be a Dick)

the MLP guitar is an undertaking by some of the most talented artisans and luthiers in the business(well maybe except for greg who begged to have a part

.......i keed, i keed

) giving of their own time and NO compensation to make a friggin phenomenal guitar. ALL proceeds go back into supporting the forum to which most of us are thoroughly addicted. so what if it takes longer!! who cares!! watch the progress in the build thread, buy some tickets and when its done, some lucky sob will win a guitar!! until then if you dont like the way its being handled, leave the forum and stfu!!!! my .02
