Why the Indian logo on a Harley Sportster?

ROCK_GURU · 05-14-2012, 09:29 PM

I have no idea, but whatever looks good

Jusamies · 05-15-2012, 08:17 AM

That bike is awesome. Goes well with equally awesome guitar. I love V's so don't you dare to botch this!

Just kidding. You wouldn't do that.

I will give my best not to spoil the

ROCK_GURU · 05-19-2012, 02:13 PM

some new pictures from today

only a little to reduce the thickness, so that I could glue the top part of maybe something like this?

or to leave this piece of something else, what do you think?

Jusamies · 05-19-2012, 02:14 PM

However you like, sir! I just wanna say that's a mighty funky-looking strat!

I'd say it begs for SG, but I might be biased.
Nice pattern, btw. Reminds me something, but I don't remember exactly what.

Yes, indeed. Can't quite put my finger on it, but it's on the tip of my tongue. It'll come eventually...

Super, looks awesome.

Because I noticed in the forum, control cavities cover is made of wood, so I made it

so looks like this

ROCK_GURU · 05-27-2012, 02:29 PM

and i think it looks ok

Jusamies · 05-27-2012, 03:21 PM

It does indeed look like very OK to me! That is some nice wood for cavitycovers.

Of course they make cavity covers out of wood here. The other options would be either making your own bakelite cover, scavenging something plastic for material or creating something very original and bizarre. I've seen enough awesome builds to know, that if anyone in the world has creativity, it's luthiers!

BTW not to complain, but your pics are quite big. They make an extra scrollbar at the bottom of my screen, which isn't really a huge issue, but an occasional little nuisance anyhow.

Barnaby · 05-27-2012, 04:15 PM

Beautiful work. I really like the clean lines and the control cover. That's an impressively good fit.

As to the bookmatched top, are you sure you want a guitar that you can only play for three weeks every month?
