Cheap Guitars

[eS.G.]

I have an odd colorful fabric ....like "stamps of the world" all jumbled together I have been meaning to apply and then shellac over on some guitar-----haven't found the right one yet.....perhaps the Lotus Strat refurb .......hhhmmmm

Think I heard of that, but can't remember where. The guy had his Strat covered with dollar bills, with this technology. Sounds like a great idea.

There's a guy on the Duncan forum who does that kind of thing, Very Cool!

No, that's not it. It's like a photo gel film floating in water and as the guitar body is dipped in it, it clings to the surface and adopts curves and all.

There, found it. It's called Hydrographics.

Nice looking finish, but it would be kinda hard to do with a set neck guitar like the "custom" brand I have, wouldn't want to get the fret board soaked in water.

Looking forward to seeing it, never dealt with a twist before.
Is it wet, slight countertwist, clamp, see where she settles, repeat if needed?

Yeah except no wet, just twist clamp and time.

Hello,
I had a problem with a twisted Warmoth neck. I was heartbroken. The problem was, I had moved from Arizona to Oregon without relieving the neck tension. I had not thought about it because the neck was not installed on a guitar at the time.
Another situation dealing with neck adjustment came from a Peavey neck that had a slight twist. It seems the adjustment nut has a hole in the top and you cannot see that farther down inside it takes a 4mm. Allen wrench to adjust. Someone failed to investigate that and kept trying to adjust it thinking that the nut had been stripped. After I discovered the 4mm adjustment, relieved tension, gave the neck time to acclimate to the humidity the neck straightened right up.
To me it seems as if, when the neck has even the proper amount of tension, cannot expand and contract due to restrictions at each end, it has no other option but to twist.
I am not trying to be an authority on necks, however I hope my experience with the two problems I had may be of some help to you.

I'm no expert either! Just hoping I can get it adjusted and untwisted enough to be a decent player. I'm used to fairly high action for classical guitars so as long as it doesn't need 1/4" action etc I should be gtg. For $50 figured I might as well try.

A little cheap porn ?
Every time I pick this thing from the pegs and plug it, I smile.
