Sheena, stop apologizing and spend your energy staying warm!!

Brrrrrrr.....

Maybe the reason you couldn't find his stuff is that it's "mvp", not "mpv".

I don't want to ruin my lunch Paul. I'll look at it later on today.

Da-da-da-da-mn...
Oh, BTW... i don't mean to say this one is ugly or something, but such a shape seems quite strange to me...

Yep, that's ugly. It's an attempt to capitalize on the Yamahas, which are successful and good-looking, too.

Hmmmm... I see they are using stove elements. But where does one plug it in?

Exactly 3 minutes 20 seconds for the boiled eggs, please!

Mmmm... i wonder if such a head position (inside the body) "works"... or is it just a "transformer" guitar? Never saw guitars with the head inside the body...

Maybe it has its head up its...umm...posterior...

Like some folks that we all know and love???

In which case, it will be very successful!

Re: MVP. He needs to get a life. He should also stick to printing. IMO. I sure hope he does not take a fancy to Rics any time soon.

He welded a (non-functional) whammy bar on it!

Why do these people encourage him? Nobody would get away with that foolishness here!

Also, he says he uses a jigsaw (!) to cut the curves. No wonder it's crooked.

Kevin, look back on this thread...

I asked him why he didn't stop buying all that pricey gold hardware and rare wood and spend his money on precision tools instead.

I also asked why he persisted in putting his name upside-down on the headstock of almost every guitar he made.

Here's his reply:

"...precision tools..Nah that wouldn't make builing it any fun and they do play well Logo.. who made it that it should be up down sideways, I didn't know there was a rule, Oh wait I just looked it up in the guitar encyclopedia.... guitar placement logo on headstock.. .. see GDP board!!"

Nothing like cocksure, ignorant arrogance.

The whammy bar adds that nice, subtle Caterpillar D9 effect!

How the hell can you play it with that chunk of **** placed where it is? Oh... sorry... it can't be played without that chunk of **** on it anyway, so it doesn't matter...
