Seriously, good luck kwerk. I can't wait to see what you do this year.

Muzikp · March 13th, 2012, 05:46 PM

Oh great - what will you inspire me with this time? I'm still trying to master the roman numeral dot markers you turned me onto. No I haven't had much success in case you were wondering

.

I really enjoyed your last years build, looking forward to this one.

Hey kwerk , glad to see you are in .

Maricopa · March 13th, 2012, 08:10 PM

Did someone ask for punishment? If so you came to the right place.

vtcyclist · March 13th, 2012, 08:53 PM

So this year the gears will turn also? Good luck and have fun.

hockeygoon · March 13th, 2012, 09:42 PM

Is this one going to be a steam powered locomotive Tele?

Davecam48 · March 13th, 2012, 10:53 PM

Pencils, laser beams, croc skins, shells, old clocks and plastic, just how it should be .
Good luck Mate!

Go Kwerk!

kwerk · March 14th, 2012, 04:49 AM

Well, I'm not gonna tell you what I'm doing straight away, but it won't be anywhere near as complex a project as last year's was.

Still sticking with the weird materials though, this year I'm using a product called "wood". I have expectations it will work well for this kind of thing.

What I will say is that the guitar is a tribute to a couple of forum members. It would give the game away if I said anymore about that at this stage.

This will be my first guitar with a "painted" finish. I use the word "painted" with quotations becuse, well, you'll see why soon enough. I'm gonna get down to designing in the next couple of days, and hopefully have my materials/proof pic and a start made on them before the weekend, when the floodgates OPEN!!

kwerk · March 14th, 2012, 04:50 AM

Oh, and thanks for the kind words everyone.

Gotta remember to buy a couple of months paid subscription on Photobucket for uninterrupted viewing. I'll add that to the build list.

CJFearn · March 14th, 2012, 08:54 AM

Go kwerk!

flatfive · March 14th, 2012, 02:17 PM

Phil, very glad you're participating.

You say that you've spent much less time thinking about
your entry this year.

I figure we can take the difference in spectacularness between
your entry this year and last, take the difference in how
many hours you planned, and get a spectacularness/hour
number for you.
