Marzocchi705 Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Is that literaly a bolt holding on the neck? The Brian May one looks good, and the travel guitar looks kick ass, is that juat a proto type made out of MDF, or are you planing to finish that one?

RGGR Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Hey, when posting pics there are certains rules here. Not wanting to be pic police.......but it is freaking annoying having those rediculeous pics fall of the screen every time. Not like I can't have good look at guitar with smaller pic.

Mattw04 Posted April 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Yes the traveller is MDF at the mo and will continue to be! It will have oak inserts like a brian may guitar. Planning to be finished soon hopefully! Oh and btw... the neck is gunna be held on by one bolt and 2 screws, just not put the screws in yet! And about pictures, never saw that in the rulz!

Mattw04 Posted April 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Like i sai they are reduced by 50% can't reduce them any more or they lose image quality. Anyway yes it is similar tho BHM's spade wqhich was build AFTER this one this projects been running for over 2 years, its just brian got there first. hehe oh any guitar builders are always grumpy lol i am lol mattw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzocchi705 Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Do you have Photoshop? If you re-size them in there they wont loose quality. If you dont have PS you can down load a trial version at adobe.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dont have PS you can down load a trial version at adobe.com ← Or try IrfanView. It's not for image manipulation, but it'll resize/resample the hell out of anything you throw at it. Also good for thumbnail galleries and such. Best of all, it's FREE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattw04 Posted April 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 AHHH thanks i found it i must be going blind! Back to the comments now ! The spec of the traveller :- - Mahogany neck - Eboney finger board (eventually) - Medium fret wire - MOP inlays - Schaller machine heads Body - MDF, oak inserts - Tune o matic trem and bridge - Fender pickups - 220k pots - volume and tone - Electric blue as finish.

jer7440 Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 That traveller looks pretty cool, but what is the purpose of the opening and closing wings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattw04 Posted April 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 GOOD question! well the idea is when the wings are folded in as u can see the wings have chambers like Brians red special, so when there in its supposed to give the guitar more resonance and when there out the opposite effect! Hope that answers it mattw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
