MIMF

Go see Mad Max: Fury Road. It is great IMO. The best part is the Guitar Man/Bugle Boy. He's on a converted missile launcher with 6 or 8 taiko drummers playing a double neck, flame throwing guitar. Who built the guitar was my first question. You don't get a close look at it, but the head stock, to me...

Pick me, Pick me.

Headstock shape idea thanks to Bluestem Strings. Thanks also for the 5th string tunnel idea.

Here is my new neck on a 100 yr old Sears Pot.

Thanks.

Thanks for the input. Michael, it does have a bit of a rock when put on a flat surface, but not too bad. Jon, my friend is still deciding which way he wants to go.

It is 10 inches across, metal with a ring of what looks like mahogany on the inside. Does anyone know anything about it? Here are a few photos. It had a dowel-stick ne...

If it was a D28 neck, I would make an offer. My 1970 D28 needs a new neck.
Does the 000-18 neck have a diamond valute?

Is there a way to keep track of what forum and/or topics you've actually read? It seems when I log on it shows me the new posts since the last time I logged on whether or not I've previously visited a forum. Did I word that well? Here's an example, I have not even been to the Wood and Materials foru...

Nice to finally see the new MIMF, good job.
The photos are working but some of them, number 2 in this discussion for instance, need to be scrolled up and down and left and right to see the whole photo. Is that true for everyone or just my old computer?
