Hey guys! this is my first thread here on Jemsite! I have a couple of threads Im going to be starting, all of which involve my different projects I Have been working on! This first one Im sharing with you is my version of Paul Gilberts Fireman! Before i get to the pics heres all the parts i bought for it and everything i did to it:
-fireman body from perleguitars
-rg2ex1 guitar neck
-dimarzio tone zone andpaf pro,
1 tone, 1 volume, 3 way switch, (of course all knobs and wiring components)
-1 set of quilted maple veneer
-binding
-hardtail bridge
..etc.
I intalled the veneer, installed the binding, made a back tummy cut (for there wasnt one orginally), stained blue, nitrocellulose lacqueered it..etc.. will explain more as the post goes on!

Pictures please!

I may do a fireman too. I have the chunk of wood, and the template.
Maybe even a double neck fireman.

Pics pics pics!

cool Im doin my own build at the moment going swimmingly for day one

I plan posting pix asap! I have pics of everything from the beginning so it should be quite interesting. You should definitely make a fireman though, they are awesome!

Cool! Can't wait to see them.

Walnut Fireman, anyone?

and can anyone tell me how to make it so you can just see the pics on my post rather than through a link or an attachment? thanks.

but until i figure out how to do that with the pictures i'll just continue like this:
haha, here are more pics, i'll try to post them in the order in which i took them, but they are all jumbled up so we'll see how that goes!http://www.jemsite.com/forums/attach...1&d=1296537331

Links don't work.

yeah i know!! i cant figure this stupid thing out!!! all of pics wont fit in my attachments box thing and i dont know how to post pics directly into my post!! cause i have a butt load of pictures from this project to post!!

alright just in case i cant figure this out im going to post the final result ( except it doesnt have the pickups in yet because im still waiting on them) and then once i figure it allout i will post everything and how i did it all and what not. btw, the pickups with be white dimarzio's (tone zone and paf pro)

for some reason these three photos are the maximum attachments i can hold..this is so frustrating haha, i should be able to hold much more. i dont understand!! if anyone know what to do or of any other ways to post the photos please let me know! thanks.

alright to make life easier i just a little documentary type video of my guitar project and i'll post the link as soon as its uploaded!

So far, Im really diggin what i see! How hard was binding to do ?

the binding wasnt so much hard as it was time consuming. Scraping just isnt fun haha. But it was definitely worth it, I love how the binding looks in contrast to the top and the mahoghany. I would definitely recommend trying it out sometime if you havent already. just make sure you practice on scrap wood first! and Thanks!!

alright here is youtube video i made explaining everything and has all the pics and what not, hope you enjoy!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpQTX5hdLdI
