The tenon i use goes all the way to the back of the neck humbucker cavity - I definitely would not feel good about it with no tenon.
Story! When i moved in 2010 out of my house and we were tossing all the dead guitar bodies and necks, one of the disposal guys decided to Pete Townsend the solid...
The side dot indicators were dabbed on with white enamel paint! >.0 That in itself should shoo you away!
I think the worst task I had to do was removing the all the glue from the fretboard without destroying it. I'd put money on the truss rod "slot" being filed out with a rasp - just...
It's seriously something that we're going to very loudly disagree on man. I'm sorry. This really is one of those things where i'm going to be incredibly stubborn and mean so imma bow out before i piss more people off. :( This is one of those topics that puts me into the wall of text mode...
I'm most definitely not going to pretend it didn't happen because i'm not stupid. I also wrote that "if you can't afford a PRS dragon, you shouldn't buy it, that's how capilism works." I was initially confused by the mindbendingly stupid rationale of saving for an expensive guitar removing...
Where in the name of sweet Jesus did you read that?
I bought a used Charvel while saving up for the insanely expensive Ibanez.
Oh - i got this from a dictionary online.

If you can't afford the dragon, you can't afford it. Welcome to the free market and how it works. Just because you feel entitled, and thats exactly what it is, doesn't mean you get to skirt laws in place that were created to stop bs like this.
When i was in high school, i did something...
It's very close to home and something I have experience with. I've sent cease and desists and oddly the law was on my side. That's something else you should probably investigate as you seem clearly uneducated about it.
The free market is typically governed by legalities and not feelings...
When you hone and perfect your craft only to have some jerkoff say "well, your work is expensive so I should be able to rip it off because i can't afford the real thing". Watching the mental gymnastics of people justifying this is hilarious. It's like saying "I want a Tesla, but I only have...
There was only massive pressure because the guy took over 1000% (not a typo) more orders than he said he would and promptly blew the cash. He ran out of money and lost the shop. Thats pretty much it. :( MOst of Bernie's stuff was made out of Mexico and shipped up his place for...
They would get sued instantly Aristides, and rightfully so. Patents exist for a reason. :) They're expensive because of what goes into building them and the research it took to get there.
Also no other company would put their balls on your guitar and post it online. It really is amazing...
When a customer and I agree on doing a project together, I arrange for a Skype session while I'm walking around one of the biggest wood suppliers in North America. That way even if i happen to pass something that catches someone's eye, they have the chance to ask about it or just ask for it to...
I've got a BRJ at my place right now from the Black Friday sale that I'm completing for Holloway. The work is not really up to snuff from a lot of the other BRJ guitars I've seen. I've managed to clean up 99% of hte issues, but there are some choices that were made that just boggle me. :/...
