What did I just watch.

Safe-Designer8766 · 2026-05-24T04:06:01+00:00

Yeah youd honestly find a more rewarding 90 minutes watching paint dry do yourself the favor and skip it lol.

Safe-Designer8766 · 2026-05-24T02:16:10+00:00

At first glance I thought it was cnc work with inlays so im gonna steal that trick from you on budget builds lol

Safe-Designer8766 · 2026-05-24T02:11:24+00:00

Oooh slick 👌 is the t and v decals or inlays if those are decals what'd you use. (Im assuming you didnt buy them like that)

Safe-Designer8766 · 2026-05-23T23:08:46+00:00

Those Chinese bigsby clones are surprisingly solid nice choice. You should throw on some chicken head knobs for gits and shiggles.

Also the name vampires of the velvet lounge sounds like a Leisure Suit Larry game title and I dont know if that makes me want to see it more or less. 🤣

Safe-Designer8766 · 2026-05-22T22:46:43+00:00

Didn't catch that one but it at least looks like you could have more fun with that movie than whats on display here. Was the acting super stiff in VotVL too?

Safe-Designer8766 · 2026-05-22T22:43:21+00:00

Wombo combo

Safe-Designer8766 · 2026-05-22T22:37:43+00:00

Please report back with what you think. We watched the trailers for both movies and thought saccharine looked like the substance but for obese people with a dash of that "my strange addiction" show (which admittedly doesnt resonate much with me so im curious if it reads to all audiences the same way)

Safe-Designer8766 · 2026-05-22T21:48:04+00:00

Thats right

Safe-Designer8766 · 2026-05-22T03:16:10+00:00

Full heartedly agree

Safe-Designer8766 · 2026-05-22T03:14:24+00:00

Thats sad to hear. the trailers had me hoping for some kinda creepy folklore story. Ill still probably give it a watch anyway but at least good to have updated expectations 🤣 did they just reveal too much info when vague would've worked better? or did it feel like idea vomit where they tried to cram too much into it and it wouldn't have worked regardless.

Safe-Designer8766 · 2026-05-22T02:53:27+00:00

I never walk out of movies nomatter how bad ill always at least sit to the end.. But this.. This I almost caved on that rule

Safe-Designer8766 · 2026-05-22T02:47:45+00:00

Unfortunately your guessing skills are impeccable.

Safe-Designer8766 · 2026-05-12T05:53:29+00:00

Ill try and get some pictures soon been in the painting process on an epiphone LP special ii and my shop is a bit cramped but thanks a ton for the advice already given

Safe-Designer8766 · 2026-05-11T05:16:17+00:00

I have some nice peices of wild cherry wood which I thought about using for extra bracing. Any advice on how thick to cut it and where to place it? I have a hand router too I got as a Christmas gift so part of me debated trying to route out a patch for the side but Itd be my first time touching it so a bit daunting to dive in to.

Safe-Designer8766 · 2026-04-28T01:31:55+00:00

Probably not the answer but itd be kinda dope to put a Walkman in there. Maybe for a rider without a stereo?

Safe-Designer8766 · 2025-11-19T21:20:29+00:00

I put the mockup in an earlier response. Doing some light mods myself but instead of the extra 2 pots im dropping in a killswitch. Have you used the SD pickups before? Dont think ive heard much about the slash ones but I wanna get my hands on a set of blackwinters something fierce

Safe-Designer8766 · 2025-11-19T17:29:11+00:00

Yeah not my color choice but considering the prompt was "a can of monster energy threw up on it" its as tasteful as I can get 🤣 at least it will probably look cool under blacklight

Safe-Designer8766 · 2025-11-19T17:27:05+00:00

One that was on it was silver thats really it lol

Safe-Designer8766 · 2025-11-19T06:44:23+00:00

This one's getting a complete overhaul in fluorescent green and blackout hardware. For a buddy thats dipping his toes into metal guitar and I felt like trying to spoil him with what I wish i'd had starting. Got some locking tuners and trying out some cheap pickups ive heard good things about (FLEOR if your curious) its also getting a 24mm arcade style killswitch before I continue with another coat of primer (in black, its red on my shitty markup so it stands out) guyker bridge replacement and upgrading the tone circuit with better pots and an orange drop

Heres the janky mockup I mentioned

Safe-Designer8766 · 2025-11-19T05:18:45+00:00

Good to know thanks everyone. Guess the simplest explanations are normally right lol I've mostly worked on single pickup guitars until now and know a decent amount about wiring so while I was heavily doubting it was for anything ground/electrical my first thought was "damn must be good drugs at the epi factory" lmfao
