rhoads56 Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Neck joints should be tight enough to not require ANY glue. Before i do glue it, i modify the fit slightly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im looking forward to the GOTM post! ← Thanks dude! Yeah, I basically told Perry I was after a sort of hybrid between the droopyness of the jackson and the esp style 'upwards point'. I did up some rough stuff for it, but it turned out we both had similar ideas for it, and I have to say, I love what Perry has created in the end... very much so Oh, it will also have a compensated nut, handcut by the master himself I wont say anything else, I swear! There some really awesome ideas we have been talking about though, and there is some secret stuff that even I will have to wait until GOTM to find out about too - Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawn8 Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 That headstock really has killer looks. Perfect midpoint between Jackson and new ESP headstocks, both which I dislike though. But this is elite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orgmorg Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 QUOTE(rhoads56 @ May 10 2005, 11:48 AM) WOMD Lacquer. Weapon of Mass Destruction Lacquer? Isn't that hard to find? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivin Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Indeed! This will certainly be my... weapon of choice? MUAHAH All up it cost $2110AU including pickups, which makes it far and away THE best choice I could have possibly made as far as buying myself a top quality guitar in this style. I do beleive however, that Perry has amped up his prices since then, and rightly so. - Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhoads56 Posted May 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Sanded, ready to go.... Fixed a Gibson SG that the neck had "fallen" out of, then fixed a PRS headstock after someone "stepped" on it, had the time, so i started spraying WOMD stage 1/6.
