Knee rest strip on Flying V '58

Metamatic · 10-14-2009, 05:52 PM

Does anybody know where I can get the knee rest rubber strip to a Flying V '58?

It's for a build I made a while ago but I never managed to find any so I thought I should give it a try here.

Here's the one that's lacking the rubber strip.

I didn't even know they even made one of those, but damn that is one sexy korina!

That's because I simply forgot MLP and been hanging on the other Forum where I never got any answers to my questions. I am surprised that I missed MLP for such a long time.

He's too busy building guitars to bother with posting in the forum!

I did a google search and I came up with this. They are in Europe too which should make things easier. I don't know what the minimum size is but you could give it a shot if it looks right to you!

One of the nicest I've seen. Have you any shots of the heel and neck joint, from the back?

peach64 · 10-14-2009, 06:38 PM

No I'll send it to you. Just send some Swedish women my way LOL
Dude you've got the best women in the world!

Thanks a lot!

Yes I have loads of pictures from the build but not many when it's finnished. Here are some fresh, just a couple of minutes old

That's very kind of you. I'll send you one of the best viritual ones

(hmmm gets me thinking of an old picture thread Swedish women VS English women 0r was it Polish?. Gotta find it. Everybody will get a very big grin or laugh when they see it).

Thanks. That looks supremely playable.

It has the thickest neck I've ever played on. I usually like slim necks but this one is amazing. I did some mistakes because I used a Gibson 1982 V58 plan and the shapes are not the same as the original if you compare the sides of the body close to the neck.

Here is one more

And the real thing....

Some of our most valuable members make few posts, and vice versa.

Meta, that thing looks great. I was used to small necks myself, but love my '04 R8. Do you suppose yours is even thicker than that?

I don't know how thick a R8 is but mine is

1st fret 0.916' 23,3 mm
12th fret 0.986 25,07mm

I am currently building a '58 Goldtop and and for sure it will have the same thickness.

I don't have a caliper, but carefully eyeballing a tape measure I'd say my R8 is a tenth or so thicker than that, with a little less taper between 1st and 12th. Feel-wise, probably almost identical. Playing an open E7, feels like you're ready to throw a pitch. I love it.

shtdaprdtr · 10-14-2009, 08:58 PM

did you use the guitarbuildingtemplates templates? I believe those are based on the Epi 58 reissue based on the heel...I have that guitar myself BTW...the only Epi I like.

captcoolaid · 10-14-2009, 09:31 PM

Home depot sales a strip like that it is non slip for walkways and I have seen it for wooden floors.

vortexx · 10-14-2009, 11:59 PM

I love Korina

MrRhoads · 10-16-2009, 01:44 AM

Metamatic you need to send "Peach64" a copy of "Fäbojäntan" since he want´s swedish women

duff · 10-16-2009, 09:13 AM

great build man ! looks great ! beautiful korina. peach i've sent u a pm about the strip !
that neck looks huge ! on what plans did u base the build on ? I'm still trying to finish a 3d/cnc model of a flying 58 but things are busy at work .. i'll finish it before 2010

but i still need to talk to someone with a real one and have him compare some measurements, which is the hardest part..

Thanks!

Indeed it's hard to find usefull info.

I used a compilation of several plans and half way thru the build i used the pics from the #8 2850. As I didn't have the actual neck pocket info at the time, I started out with a LP pocket and then shaped the back to make it to look like the the V58.

YES, I got them in the mail today. A super thank you! As soon I've routed and glued the stripe I'll take a shot of it.

Thanks again, and if you need anything from Sweden (except for chicks

) don't hesitate to get in touch with me!
