Respect Your Local Luthier!!

[JammerMatt]

A friend sent this link to me. It's very long, but the pictures are very interesting, and I just looked at the pictures. I have a new appreciation for those guys who build our toys.

Hehe, I was in the workshop of the guy who built my strat every second week to see what he was doing to it, very intresting

Wow,

I'm gonna repaint my RG570 from that 80's metallic red to a 'industrial jem' type red burnt stain. I had all the tutorials but seeing it like that is sensational.

I was going to skip the grain filler, but I've changed my mind on that.

Thanks for the link Jammermatt.

That's pretty cool!!! Thanks for the link

I never thought about having to drill underneath the nut to meet up with the trussrod route. Seeing that neck clamped on the drill press like that was an eye opener.

Yeah, it gave me a new appreciation for the work of a craftsman. I wouldn't have that kind of patience.
