Topic: STAR (another one by Beamer and Jetts) (12 replies, posted in Songwriting)
OK, I have the last verse and I think it ties it all up.
STARScott Sailer / Jeff Gilpen 6-17-14
Verse 1
[G] Reaching for a dream
[Am] I’ve yet to achieve
[G] I’ve only played in garage bands
[Am] Yet I still have your hand [B] (X244XX) [A] (XO222X) [B] [Am]
Verse 2
I’ve never known fame
Probably never be a star
But in your eyes…
Yeah, I hope I reach that far
Bridge
[Am] Sometimes I act a bit [G] crazy
[Am] SometimesI can be a little bit [G] hazy,
[A]I still sing its outta tune
And [A7] most folks run in fright
[D] Still you’re here with me[D7] tonight.
Verse 3
Music keeps me sane
At times brings me pain
When its all too much
I reach for your touch
Improvise solo on Verse and bridge chords
Repeat Bridge
Repeat Verse 1
End on repeating last line:
Yet I still have your hand

Cool video, funny how such little things can go missed.
I've never bought a set of pins but I would dare to say that the difference between 3 and 5 degrees on a pin that is only 1/4" in diameter and 1" long is going to be very hard to distinguish. I understand that you need to get the right ones as they are not interchangeable. The link Beamer shared didn't say what degree those are.
a shop might know,,, or maybe the company hotline?? IDK have not tried it

Re: bridge pins (39 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Maybe thats why the pins in my fender 12 were always cracked when I took them out? I just figured it was due to the amout of psi on the bridge. (but seeing as how my bridge pulled away from the body,,, that could be the problem also since the pins were probably holding a lot of the pull tension from the bridge)

Re: What paint do I use? (11 replies, posted in Acoustic)
IF this is your acoustic, what type of finish is on it? urethane? shellac, epoxy? here is a good article abut what will work with what, http://www.diynetwork.com/home-improvem … index.html
but I honestly thing you can use whatever you want. If you look at the chordi stock pics Chick has a hand painted guitar that looks like craft paint or acrylics with a clear coat over it. If your going the stencil rout, or complete change rt my favorite all around durable paint is Auto paint. Duplicolor has tons of options and large and small cans even touch up colors if you only need a little bit of a color, and then clear coat it a few times to protect what ever art you have. Remember after you have put all the work into the design,, you do want to protect it. The more thin layers of C/C the more protection and also more sacrificial layers so you can wet sand it to a deep gloss. 1500 to 2000, to 3000, then some quality rubbing compound (and a easy one that is very good and off the shelf at wall mart or an auto store is Meguiars Ultimate compound ) and polish (Meguiars Ultimate Polish) followed by a good sealer or wax. and your ax will look fantastic. I have only scratched the surface here, PM me if you need any more help.
I know your talking an acoustic, but paint is paint.most guitars you see with a solid finish and artwork is clear coated any way. like say this one

Re: Douglas V/S monoprice (9 replies, posted in Electric)
Russ , I knew I could count oun you
TF, Yep I really wantedone very bad, along withteh blueand silver ones. I just didnt have the $$$.
In all reality I will probably stay with the 2 ;ickups but coil tap each one. go with the the rails, roller bridge, nut and tuners.
I can handle tuners, and probably the nut and bridge(bridge shouldbe a drop in). but ill let the luthier do the wireing job.
and the set up and dressing the frets.

Re: Douglas V/S monoprice (9 replies, posted in Electric)
Hey guys thanks, FYI, the center PU is mainly because I am going for the ACE guitar look. My thoughts are also to coil tap the center so I can run a H S configuration, its a mean sound. I think I am sold on the Mono price mainly cause its the honey burst, and has the sharper cutout. as for the mods, it will be a slow process,, gotta get teh parts past momma! LOLOL found a YT vid of a guy modding one and I wrote all his mods down. here is his list:
the monoprice,
rollermatic bridge (22 bucks) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chrome-Roller-T … 23386b3a15
A bone nut
and he used locking tuners but Ill go with Grover-Trophy 102 Rotomatics 41.00
so just in parts im looking at 250 +/- before labor. (not even using the 3rd PU at this time) Maybe I can do it,, I guess Ill try. but I dont know how to coil tap and that req a diff control knob right?

Topic: Douglas V/S monoprice (9 replies, posted in Electric)
Ok,, I have NGF New guitar fever,, Yet trying not to get in too deep.
We have all seen how nice the Douglas is from seeing Russells creations. I am wanting a Les Paul and I want to do, as close as possible an ACE replica. Did some homework and GFS does not make ivory classic hot 59s in that color, but they do make the Power Rails.
as for the guitars,
stock shot of the Douglas
and the monoprice
The one thing the mono price has going for it is I have always loved the honeyburst/ cherry. Both guitars have been used by ACE as well as the B&W. ( One mod I will have to do is add a 3rd pick up. Idont know what that will cost me so it will have to wait)and its cut out is deeper and sharper cut. I guess what my main Question is , is do you guys think this set of pick ups will look good even if they are notexact? I know that they sound great due to having them in another guitar. 
but they also have just chrome in a upgraded PAF http://www.guitarfetish.com/Crunchy-Pat … _c_48.html
For any of the tinkering types, once I add in a 3rd pick up,, how does that figure in the 3 position switch?
