!!METAL MATT!! Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Funny pics Matt, the first one looks like the normal Metal Matt just rockin out on his weapon of choice, but the second pic reminds me of Santa Clause, showing a gift that was made by the elves and going to little timmy. I wish I was good at photoshop HAHAHAHA I for one Am glade your not good with photoshop Wow, I'm not a fan of "metal" guitars (well I still like the mockingbird), but the amount of effort and skill in your guitar are swaying me. There are lots of extra touches on that guitar that really stand out. What an inspiration! Thanks Man It's cool how the Impaler design has become Better than ever I have A real chane to make something for my self outa this design !!METAL MATT!!

javacody Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 That headstock and the shape on the end of the fingerboard really add class to the design. Is this going to be your guitar? Or is it getting sold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this going to be your guitar? Or is it getting sold? Thanks Man! with the headstock Jeremy helped me with the design I came up with A cool idea and Jeremy helped me rework it so that It would flow more with the Impaler design, and the spike at the end of the fretboard was A last min Thing Jeremy told me not to cut of the end so we could work on some Ideas and one thing lead to another and We came up with that design And yes this is my guitar and my build and I will not be selling it! one day I hope to be selling copy's of this design! but not yet I want this one !!METAL MATT!!

Drak Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Let me ask a question here... I'm figuring it's (to a point) easy for you because Jeremy is tooled up very well with jigs (to an extent anyway), and once you have the jigs, the rest is usually not too difficult. That's why I can whip out a Tele body in 1/2 day, because I have the jigs for everything I need. So, I'm wondering why you aren't spending most of your time making copies of his jigs to take home instead of working on one guitar? When you have the jigs, you can make dozens of guitars. Please excuse me if I'm way off base, I'm completely guessing what's going on just by your posts, but just to work on a guitar there when you could be getting jigged up for many more guitars doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but please straighten me out, I'm sure I don't know the whole story, maybe you two have already worked that out. PS, I'd like more of an explanation of what you do for him every day to earn your keep. Gotta pay your dues to play the blues and all that cliche stuff...are you a great employee?

!!METAL MATT!! Posted September 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Ok now First thing I made my own jig for my Impaler, so I have that! the only jig's I used where the neck jigs and there His! I may ask him If i can copy some neck jig's But there not really hard to make if a guy know's what he's doing what Im here for Is to help Jeremy out and do some learing aswell The guitar Is payment for my help and also A learing tool I'd like more of an explanation of what you do for him every day to earn your keep. Well I do anything I can to help, cuting out and shapeing bodys, making neck blanks, sloting fretboards, sanding body's for Paint and clear, sanding primer for paint, sanding clear for next coat, wet sanding, cleaning around the shop, Im a grunt anything that I can do that needs doing get's done I only work on the Impaler after hours! my day starts at 10-12:00 and It end's at 6:00 that's when I start work on my Impaler and that's done Around 8-10:00 PM and this is monday to saturday and some times sunday! are you a great employee?

Maiden69 Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 That is very nice! Now I wish it had an ebony fret board, it would look sinister. Like always Jeremy, great airbrush job! Get a camera ready for when he sees it, like to see a pic of his reaction... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
